Hello Ram 1500 Diesel!
Have been driving/testing these for a while now, but couldn't say anything, until today! And yes it'll have plenty of towing capacity... Chrysler wrote: Ram to Build Industry's Only Light-duty...

It have heavier springs, a heavy duty cooling kit but still was a 1500.
At the risk of using facts to get in the way of rhetoric, yes, that truck has a "1500" on the side of it. However, that's the only thing it has in common with the standard 1500. As mentioned it has the 6.0 V8, 4L80E trans, 8 lug wheels, 9.75 inch rear axle. The frame is much heavier than the 1500.
In fact the 1500HD is identical in specs to the pre-2001 2500! It's RGAWR is 6000 lbs., a mere 84 lbs. less than the 2500HD, and much more than the 1500.
