anyone have an idea were i could find out what is the towing capacity on my 05 ram 1500 reg cab long bed with the 4.7 eng, 5 speed auto, with the 3.55 rear end and 245/70/17 tires. i have been looking but have yet to find anything on the capacity of my truck.

thank you for any and all of your help.

 

I went to a camper sales dealership, a good one will tell you what you can pull, and what you can stop

 

you are good for 6550lbs on a slt 4x4 reg cab long bed

this site will give you more info if you need it

 

Dodge calls it good for 8900-8950 lbs. depending on setup.
You won't be able to get out of your own way pulling that kinda weight with it, but...........

thank you for the link, all is good now. with my setup the site says i can tow 6600lbs but if i change to a 3.92 rear axle i would be able to handle 7600.


thanks.

 

I have the factory 3.92s for sale if you are interested. They have about 4900 miles on them. I upgraded to 4.56s two months ago.

 

And by doing so you raised your ability to tow more.... I also have the 4.56's installed and can tow more than most trucks on the road easily with my 4.7L.... But if your afraid to go up to a 4.56... then I would take Reorg up on those 3.92's.... the 4.7L NEEDS gear to keep itself in its powerband... Im getting better fuel economey with my 4.56's than I was with the 3.55's.... and I know Reorg is getting the same results over his 3.92's.... (Sorry bro I know your trying to sell those 3.92's) So If you can tow more (ALLOT MORE) get better fuel economey and go 0-60MPH a full second faster... its just a WIN WIN WIN with the 4.56's...

Ohh yeahh... NICE SITE!
