Towing Capacity
Hi Everyone,
I'm new to this site so if i'm posting in the wrong place please forgive me. I own a 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 SLT Mega Cab 4x4 w/6.7 cummings, 373 rear gears. I also Added 3500 Rear leaf springs. I'm thinking of purchasing a 5th wheel and I need to know what this truck can tow comfortably. How much pin weight can it support ? A 5th wheel that has a dry weight of 12,400 lbs I figure loaded maybe at 14,600 lbs. Will this strain the truck too much? is it safe to say, the truck can pull this ok?
Thanks,
Robert

You can check here... http://www.dodge.com/towing/D/vehicle_to_weight.jsp?
I would select the 3500 because as you can tell by selecting a vehicle by model, the images appear to be in the wrong order. The 2500 should be the 1500 the 1500 should have the 4500 graphic.
I had another look, that page is messed up bad for 2008.
