Another Towing question
My 2009 Ram Sport has the 20" rims, is 4x4, Hemi and the 3.92's.
Looking for max towing on the truck. I've stumbled across this statement a time or 2:
can anyone enlighten me as to where my truck actually stands? I realize with the 20's it's about 1100lbs less.
have also looked at the chart on the bottom of this page:

Looking for max towing on the truck. I've stumbled across this statement a time or 2:
Standard on the Laramie trim and optional on the SLT is a 5.7-liter V8 with a five-speed auto and cylinder deactivation technology. Output is 390 hp and 407 lb-ft of torque. Fuel economy with 2WD is 14/20/16 mpg (4WD is 1 mpg less). In performance testing, a 4WD Hemi-powered Crew Cab model went from zero to 60 mph in 7.6 seconds. Maximum towing capacity when properly equipped is 9,100 pounds.

Wow I cannot believe my 03 Durango R/T had a higher towing capacity than my new RAM. Not that I bought it to tow but I assumed it would tow as much as it. What is the problem the coils? I have 3.55's and 20's but still that has to be wrong somehow.
You don't get huge HP numbers without taking some of the pulling power out of it.
