About this chart (6 notes)
- Figures are the brochure's maximums for each configuration, shown as separate 4x2 and 4x4 ratings, with weights rounded to the nearest 10 lb.
- Trailer weight and payload ratings are mutually exclusive: a truck loaded to its maximum payload cannot also tow its maximum trailer.
- Curb weight and axle ratings are not published in this brochure, so they are left blank.
- Gross vehicle weight ratings are listed separately for 4x2 and 4x4 where the brochure gives two values.
- The brochure rates the base-equipment truck, with different equipment noted for the Power Wagon, Rebel and Mega Cab (Laramie) models.
- The 8,565 lb GVWR row is the Power Wagon (Crew Cab, 4x4, 6.4L, 4.10 axle) and the 9,680 lb GVWR row is the Rebel (Crew Cab, 4x4, diesel, 3.73 axle); both are footnoted in the brochure as different equipment from the base truck.

Some Ram camera packages include cameras, while others only add the wiring or a digital mirror. See what each option code, from XAK to XH7, actually adds.
What the numbers mean
- Max trailer
- The heaviest trailer the configuration is rated to pull, with the right hitch and the vehicle carrying only a driver. Every passenger and every pound of cargo comes off it.
- Payload
- What the vehicle can carry inside and in the bed, including people and the trailer's tongue or pin weight. It is GVWR minus the vehicle's own weight.
- GVWR
- Gross vehicle weight rating: the most the loaded vehicle may weigh, itself plus everything in it.
- GCWR
- Gross combined weight rating: the most the loaded vehicle and loaded trailer may weigh together. It is often the number that runs out first.
- Axle ratio
- A higher number (3.92 against 3.21) turns the engine faster at a given speed. It costs some fuel economy and usually raises the tow rating.
