Ground rules behind every 2015 Ram 3500 towing rating.

This 2015 Ram 3500 guide lists a limited set of assumptions, warnings, and limits. This page only shows the rules the guide states directly.

FIG. 2015 SCOPE Published Scope

What this guide actually publishes

  • Coverage: 14 published notes on the published policy pages.
  • Included: published payload method, warnings, rating standard, and any load or hitch limits stated directly by the guide.
  • Not inferred: missing heavy-trailer assumptions stay absent when the guide does not publish them.
FIG. 2015 LOAD Baseline Weights

Weights Ram already counted in every rating

  • Passenger weight: 300 lbs counted for driver + passengers.
  • Options weight: 100 lbs counted for factory-installed options.
  • Conventional tongue: 10% of gross trailer weight.
FIG. 2015 CALC Payload Formula

How Ram derives payload from base weight

  • Values: Published as estimated values.
  • Rounding: nearest 10 lbs.
FIG. 2015 HITCH Hitch Loading

Hardware weight deducted from payload

  • Conventional hitch: 75 lbs of equipment weight.
  • Gooseneck: 70 lbs of equipment weight.
  • 5th wheel: 250 lbs of equipment weight.
FIG. 2015 LIMIT Commercial / Hitch Limits

Chassis-cab and receiver limits

  • Body-completion weight: 80 lbs per foot from end of cab to end of frame.

SAE J2807 compliance

  • Trailer Weight Rating and Tow Vehicle Trailering Weight are calculated as specified in SAE J2807.
FIG. 2015 WARN Warnings

Manufacturer safety warnings

  • GAWRs, GVWRs and GCWRs should never be exceeded.
  • For gooseneck and fifth wheel trailers, the tongue weight should never exceed any of the manufacturer recommendations including but not limited to payload and GAWR.
