Put 3500 badges on the hood. They’re fairly cheap.anyone ever find a resource for increasing GVWR on the 2500? Since we all *know* it should be 12,000....
Always be prepared for anything, sir.so we know your cargo now lol
I though about doing it if i ever get bothered i will!Put 3500 badges on the hood. They’re fairly cheap.
Guessing you could get out of just about any weight ticket if your ****** put you over the limitNo. Payload isn’t + anything.
payload is how much s**t you can load into the naked truck before you hit GVWR of 10k (or whatever your gvwr is)

Just throw them out the window until the scale says the right number. Nobody will say a word.Guessing you could get out of just about any weight ticket if your ***** put you over the limit
And when it hits the window of the guy behind you, the guy's kid will say, "DAD. Did you see the size of the d*** on that mosquito???". lolJust throw them out the window until the scale says the right number. Nobody will say a word.

For instance. A TRADESMAN with Powerwagon package on top and my truck on the bottom
Powerwagon GVWR is 8565 and GCWR is 18000
My truck GVWR is 10000 and GCWR is 19800
Powerwagon 8565 minus 1417 is a base weight of 7148
My truck 10000 minus 2998 is base weight of 7002
Powerwagon 18000 minus 7148 is 10852
My truck 19800 minus 7002 is 12798
Can you see it now.
That 12798 is with a driverless truck and no hitch.
So my truck can not tow a 12798 pound trailer.
I hope this makes sense. If not...i can pull out my crayons.
Yeah, those are always fun threads over there...They also believe that the manufacturer stated tongue weight is what it will be when they bring it home from the dealer... HA!This is why you need rain boots and an umbrella at the 5th Gen 1500 site. They see this max tow number...think it is max trailer and bam they are on wondering why their truck sags so much and won't stop coming down the mountain.
Us HeftyDuty guys are a bit better off as we do have more extra capacity.
Good times.
One must really pay attention to what they are believing
It is a tradesman with powerwagon package.Why does that 21 have such a low payload? Same motor and config as mine but my ‘19 has almost 3200# payload
I overlooked it being a power wagon. Where is my dunce hatIt is a tradesman with powerwagon package.
I am starting my search and planning my purchase of one.
I explained the difference in the post. Tradesman with Powerwagon was the top image and my truck the bottom.
I then gave the 8565 GVWR for the tradesman with powerwagon package anf the 10k for mine
anything past 3500lbs needs trailer brakes legally so the trailer brakes would stop the trailer if the brake controller is set properly so braking is no issue....won't stop coming down the mountain.
Thanks. Pictures help us folks who can’t read good
Here in PA it is anything over 2000 pounds. And I believe RAM STATES anything over 1500 they are recommended.anything past 3500lbs needs trailer brakes legally so the trailer brakes would stop the trailer if the brake controller is set properly so braking is no issue....
