Default Towing Capacity - 2000 Ram 5.9 sport Package 4x4

Does anyone know what the towing capacity for a 2000 Dodge Ram, 5.9 Magnum, 4x4, Sport Package might be? The engine has plenty of torque and power but not sure where I can find how much I could tow safely with it.

It had no problem towing our bike at all, LOL...

Thats total capacity, vehicle loaded and tow weight right? Realisticly, thats about 5500 lbs of trailer and cargo. 6k max. Anything over that, and your pocketbook is gonna hate you.

But... your tranny guy will be your friend for a week or so!

Make sure you leave the overdrive off.
