Does anyone have the above vehicle or access to one that can take a picture of the weight limit sticker on door? I'm trying to figure pin weight for my upcoming 5th purchase. thank you

A lot of the weights between trucks will be different because of the options on their trucks. I would suggest that you review the towing guide for Ram trucks See attached link for towing guides. https://www.ramtrucks.com/?sid=10370...8BqQ&gclsrc=ds

If you have the vin on the truck you can add it to this link and get the window sticker with exact options it came with:

Diesel or gas?

Standard cab or crew cab or mega cab?

1500 or 2500 or 3500 or 4500 or 5500?
All of these effect the numbers

Not from the factory, but at stretchmytruck.com in Utah, they can add an 8’ bed. It’s a long bugger.

Well ball park is in the 5,000# range. As stated before Mega Cab only comes in short bed. I would strongly suggest Crew Cab to get the long bed as the Mega Cab will eat up some payload.

You might check with your local Ram dealer, the Ram Trucks still doesn't show 2019 Ram 3500 to build or price, and the 2018 inventory is getting depleted, especially 3500 DRW.

That maybe because FCA Ram is doing the same thing that was done in the early model year of 2013. Ram did not sell any 2013 trucks until the 2013.5 truck was introduce in mid-year as a new model with SCR system using DEF. This truck had a redesigned truck frame and suspension components plus was compatible to the SAE J2807 towing requirements.

I am attending the Turbo Diesel rally this year in Columbus IN. when Cummins will celebrating their 100 year anniversary. Which FCA Ram will participate in so, a new model may or may not be rolled out at that time. There is talk that a 5th gen truck will be introduce some time in the near future. Also production is being moved from Mexico to the USA. A Michigan plant will start to produce them sometime in the very near future.

Yep a real catch 22 right now, on the web site you can build a 2018, but haven’t been available for ordering for like four months. Just saw were pricing was just announced about a week ago.

anavycrna08 · 02-27-2019, 02:19 PM

Sorry I miss spoke on which cab it is, always get them confused. As for being able to order one, mine was placed last week. It really depends on which dealer you call and whether they want to take the time to look. But indeed you can order now. Only thing I ran into was the pano sunroof available on the 1500 isn't available until mid-year.
