2011 Ram 2500 6.7 tow capacity?
Hope I can get some quick responses on this as I am going to check out a 2011 Ram 2500 LB with a 40gal aux tank, with air bags. I have a 2010 Laredo 316RL I currently tow with a 2001 F250 (max cap 125...

Actually Chris Ford did do something similar in 1998... but I wouldn't expect you to know such facts.
If you are referring to the Expedition offering, internet search seem to indicate that it was not that good of a system. Like our Buick Rainier with rear air, it appears the best solution was to replace the air bags with coil springs. BTW our 2004 Buick is still riding on its OEM air bags with only 65K on the clock.

So were/are the Rainier and Expedition systems similar to the 3500 RAM's system, no.

So are the Rainier and Expeditions systems similar to the 3500 RAM's, no.
No... I'm referring to the F250 and more specific the LD version.
Which was really a F150 HD, and is in a completely different league from the RAM 3500. And similar coil conversion to the Expedition were offered.

It doesn't matter... Ford has already done it years ago so your statement above was incorrect, and they both will eventually fail with the likelihood under heavy loads.
As far as catch up Ford now has class leading payload, towing, and the highest GAWR.
