Notes from Ram
- Maximum Trailer Weight Capacities – SAE J2807 Compliant
- * Applies to vehicles produced with sales code Z2K/Z7G/Z3Y
- When properly equipped. All weights given in pounds and rounded to the nearest 10 lb. Trailer Weight and Payload Rating are mutually exclusive. GAWRs, GVWRs and GCWRs should never be exceeded. The recommended tongue weight for a conventional hitch is 10 percent of the gross trailer weight. The maximum tongue weight for Ram 2500 (4x2/4x4) Class V (receiver hitch) is limited to 2,000 lb., for Ram 3500 (4x2/4x4) Class V (receiver hitch) is limited to 2,300 lb. For gooseneck and 5th-wheel trailers, the tongue weight should never exceed any of the manufacturer recommendations including but not limited to payload and GAWR. For Ram 2500 (4x2/4x4)A 5th-wheel or gooseneck hitch is required for trailers over 20,000 lb. For Ram 3500 (4x2/4x4)A 5th-wheel or gooseneck hitch is required for trailers over 23,000 lb. Trailer Weight Rating and Tow Vehicle Trailering Weight are calculated as specified in SAE J2807: Passenger Weight = 300 lb, Options Weight = 100 lb, Trailering Equipment Weight = 75 lb for conventional hitch, 40 lb for gooseneck and 250 lb for 5th-wheel.
The tongue weight Ram lists is a maximum; work out your trailer's actual tongue weight with the tongue weight calculator and keep it under that figure.
Check your own tow
The maximum assumes a lightly loaded vehicle. Passengers, cargo and tongue weight all come out of your payload. Run your trailer through the calculator with this vehicle's limits filled in:
