GVWR

[2023ram3500owner]

I have a 2023 ram 3500 4x4 crew cab 6.4L. GVWR is 11,400 lbs. what are the thoughts on exceeding this by 500 or 1000 lbs? Thanks

Full send.

Your 3500 man truck won't even know its there. Agree. Full send

Full send, just don’t exceed your axle ratings or tire ratings.

GVWR isn’t a legal rating for private use in many states. Axle and tire ratings are.

With the computers and sensors on these trucks the data may be stored............ To each their own

The truck has no idea if it is empty or sitting on the bump stops.

Can you prove that there are no sensors in the computers to detect payload and load put on transmission. GM and FORD have it, the only difference is they publish it.

The only thing I can think of that could provide any data like that may be the air suspension trucks which can detect squat (for lack of a better term) angle and inflate the bags accordingly.

Even then there are plenty of variables for actual weight.

Transmission load isn’t an accurate indicator of weight either.

I have a HaulGauge that plugs into the OBD and it has been very accurate for payload and GVWR

The computers have no data logging otherwise the dealers would be able to check data logs to fix intermittent issues.
