Bed, tongue weight, and wheelbase

The trailer rating is one limit. The bed has to fit the load, the tongue or pin has to fit in payload, and the wheelbase is the column the chart uses.

  • An illustrative 15 percent of the 30,000 lb gooseneck maximum is 4,500 lb of pin weight. This is not a measured load or recommended percentage; actual load may be higher.

Questions

How much can a 2015 Ram 3500 tow?
The cited maximum for a 2015 Ram 3500 is 30,000 lb gooseneck. High-output 6.7L Cummins.
Did 3500 towing change for 2015?
Compare the cited 2015 figures on this page with the 2014 record. They are stored separately.
Which configuration hits the maximum?
High-output 6.7L Cummins.
What tongue weight should I plan for a 2015 3500?
At the cited 30,000 lb gooseneck maximum, an illustrative 15% assumption produces 4,500 lb of pin weight. This is not a recommended percentage or a measurement; follow your trailer and vehicle instructions and measure the actual load. That load counts against payload and the rear axle rating.
