I appreciate all of the inputs so far. Let me also clarify please. The Ram is a 2011 2500 Long Bed Single Rear Wheel Laramie with air bags. It has a 6.7 Cummins. At this point I do not know the gear ratio which makes some difference according to the charts.
According to the spec. sheets link that Old-Biscuit provided in his first post on this thread:
GVWR for the truck I am considering is listed at 9600lb.
GVWR for the same truck but in the 3500 series is listed at 10100lb.
A 500lb increase in GVWR.
As some have mentioned these numbers may not reflect actual scale weights measured, but at this time it is all I can work with.
I hope my clarification or the vehicle I am looking at will help in formulating additional inputs. Thanks.
I have a suggestion for you. Have the seller send you a picture of the door jamb stickers showing all the weights on it.
