Actually Biscuit, that's exactly what I'm searching for...facts!! Do 3/4 tons haul these trailers (I've read on here)...sure. Does Chrysler underrate these trucks...absolutely (one would have to think these ratings have some meaning) Is it safe to do the overloaded aforementioned...well do we really need to answer that? I however don't want to take any uneccecary risks with the fam in the truck and a 15k+ trailer following my every move...if I'm so lucky and in control. I've been researching trucks. What I'm not understanding is...let's stay brand specific for simplicity.
A new 2015 Dodge Ram 3500 dually diesel with Aisen auto is rated to 30k GCWR. When I switch to manual trans it cuts the rating in half to 17k GCWR. Why??
How/why does the automatic trans have any bearing on what the trucks suspension/brakes can safely support/stop/tow?
Both trucks being 1 ton duallies what is different about the new 2015 vs my 2006 other than the 9 yrs difference (brakes, frame, springs, axle ect...)? Per your example there isn't a huge difference in HP/TRQ numbers between the motors.
How/why can a new one pull it but the 06 can't?
Thanks for your help!
