About this chart (5 notes)
- Ratings follow SAE J2807 and are estimates rounded to the nearest 10 lb.
- Payload and trailer ratings are mutually exclusive: payload has to include the trailer's tongue weight.
- Chassis cab and cutaway weights and payloads are for the incomplete vehicle before any body or upfit is added.
- All rows use the 3.6L Pentastar V6 with a 3.86 axle ratio; the chart lists no other powertrain.
- In the source the 3500 cargo van coded 3L13 is labeled 159" wheelbase, but its code and weights match the 136" high roof van, so it is listed as 136" WB H2.

Which camera option do you need?
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.
