Fiat, Chrysler, RAM or Selantis has NOTHING to do with carrying capacities plain and simple. These ratings are SAE verified. Read below.
All 4th gen DRW Crew Cab RAM's with the Cummins have the same front axle ratings and all have the same RAWR.
So? The truck was over the payload capacity listed on the door sticker, and for sure over the manufacturer's GVWR.
What is it that's bandied about these forums? The GVWR is only for warranty purposes? Well, this is a warranty purpose.
You can argue all you want that it shouldn't have broken and they didn't exceed axle ratings, but if the truck was over GVWR, warranty is void.
I did NOT say anything about "Warranty Purposes".
SAE is what matters plain and simple. They have to stay in class 3 or they would not be selling trucks in many locations.
How do you think what I posted above is not the godspel???
How can I load to the RAWR at 9,750# that is SAE rated and have my front axle unloaded weight at 5,250# and be within the 14k??? Simply aint going to happen. I am licensed to carry my load that is on my 6 tires and I am within by far any axle ratings by AAM and at or under the SAE ratings of both of my axles. I am 100% legal and within warranty weights.
If Chrysler could have denied my warranty when my trans had to be replaced they sure would have. I answered their questions with my RV weight of 24k and my rear axle weight of 9,750#. They approved warranty at a tune of WAYYY over 10k. I also had to show my fluid and filter purchases.
PLEASE tell me why the above SAE ratings are part of RAM's specifications if I can't use them???
Look at my door jamb it says air rear tires to 65 psi for 9,750# load. It says 80psi fronts for 6k SAE rating.
The truck was NOT overloaded plain and simple unless he had some crazy heavy stuff at one end or the Camper or the other.
