Towing capacity for 2013 Ram Crew Cab

[Clamdigger213]

Trying to figure out how much trailer I can actually pull with my truck... 2013 Ram crew cab 4x4 with 6 speed Trans and 3.92 gears. Any ideas?

RV towing limit for half tons is typically limited by receiver or payload. As noted, check your driver's door for the Tire and Loading sticker with your truck's as equipped payload. Subtract off an extimated weight of the people and some cargo in the truck bed. Multiply the result by 6.6 for a good dry weight range. Probably will end up in the 5000-6000 pound range.

How's this for a novel approach. Do a Google search on the words ram towing guide 2013. Download the chart and look at the numbers for your truck. It is going to be around 10,300 lbs. which is quite high for a 1500 class truck. You did good to get the 3.92 gears for a truck that will be used for towing.

here's a good place to start ... "THE STICKER" (dramatic music plays)



thats from a 2013 1500, 4 door but not the mega cab, 5.7, 6 spd, 3.92, Outdoorsman trim package

I assume the Ram 1500 by the gears. Just remember, payload is weak on the Rams. Ram Truck should realize that!

Of course could always look at the sticker in the driver side door jam as well to see the payload, GVWR, GAWR and GCWR figures. Then use some math skills to figure it out. This would be the best way honestly.

Input your numbers into this calculator.

Assuming you have a factory tow package.

You'll need the weight of people and cargo you plan to have in the truck.

You'll need the occupant / cargo (payload) number from your tire / loading sticker. Look on drivers door post.

It will ask about any aftermarket accessories (bed cap, bed liner, step bars, etc)

Average weight of a Weight distribution hitch is 80 - 100 lbs

It will calculate maximum recommended (loaded) trailer weight. Loaded trailer weight means the trailer is ready to go camping. It is approximately 1000 lbs more than shipping (unloaded) weight.

I assume were talking 1500 series?

You can get the information starting on page 21 of the attached towing guide:

2013 Trailer Life Towing Guide

Go to the Trailer Life website and look up the towing guide for that year.
