Hey guys, I've had a landscaping company all through my high school years and it's getting quite big and I've been taking on some bigger jobs lately and have been considering aquiring a Dodge Ram Mason Dump 3500....just wondered if anyone knew the towing capacity of one of those, the diesel vs. the 5.9L gasser....it may be a dumb question as I thought it may be the same as a regular Ram pickup with that engine but with the dually and all thought maybe the numbers were higher? Thanks in advance.

what are you looking at towing?

 

Well depending on what it can tow will influence my decision on a machine....im just getting into bigger jobs and my main use will be the size of the dump compared to the bed of my truck, and im slapping a plow on....soon i know im gonna get into equipment just wondered the capacities on the engines were thats all.

 

prolly be able to tow around 10,000 lbs.. with brake controller i'd imagine.... you might check the diesel truck group for more info... but for most landscaping equipment you should be fine! I've seen them tow a JD 310 2wd backhoe
