2019 Ram 3500
The highest fifth-wheel-hitch rating for the 2019 Ram 3500 is 35,100 lb, the top of 35 rows transcribed from Ram’s 2019 Ram 2500 & 3500 Heavy Duty Towing Chart. That row is printed for the 6.7L I-6 HO Turbo Diesel, Regular Cab, 2WD, 4.10 axle, RAM 3500 4X2 REGULAR CAB, trans A6 AS69RC, DRW. Most configurations are rated lower: 34 of the 35 transcribed fifth-wheel-hitch chart rows for 2019 are below 35,100 lb. The other cited maximum for the 2019 Ram 3500 is 17,810 lb on a conventional hitch. Across 70 manufacturer chart rows for 2019, ratings run conventional 13,660 lb to 17,810 lb; fifth-wheel 18,210 lb to 35,100 lb; the engine, cab, axle ratio and package on your truck decide its number.

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 10 percent of the 17,810 lb conventional maximum is 1,781 lb of tongue weight. This is not a measured load or recommended percentage; actual load may be higher.
- An illustrative 15 percent of the 35,100 lb fifth-wheel maximum is 5,265 lb of pin weight. This is not a measured load or recommended percentage; actual load may be higher.

Questions
- How much can a 2019 Ram 3500 tow?
- The highest fifth-wheel-hitch rating for the 2019 Ram 3500 is 35,100 lb, the top of 35 rows transcribed from Ram’s 2019 Ram 2500 & 3500 Heavy Duty Towing Chart. That row is printed for the 6.7L I-6 HO Turbo Diesel, Regular Cab, 2WD, 4.10 axle, RAM 3500 4X2 REGULAR CAB, trans A6 AS69RC, DRW. Most configurations are rated lower: 34 of the 35 transcribed fifth-wheel-hitch chart rows for 2019 are below 35,100 lb. The other cited maximum for the 2019 Ram 3500 is 17,810 lb on a conventional hitch.
- Did 3500 towing change for 2019?
- Compare the cited 2019 figures on this page with the 2018 record. They are stored separately.
- Which configuration hits the maximum?
- The 35,100 lb fifth-wheel maximum is printed for the 6.7L I-6 HO Turbo Diesel, Regular Cab, 2WD, 4.10 axle, RAM 3500 4X2 REGULAR CAB, trans A6 AS69RC, DRW.
- What tongue weight should I plan for a 2019 3500?
- At the cited 17,810 lb conventional maximum, an illustrative 10% assumption produces 1,781 lb of tongue weight. This is not a recommended percentage or a measurement; follow your trailer and vehicle instructions and measure the actual load. At the cited 35,100 lb fifth-wheel maximum, an illustrative 15% assumption produces 5,265 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.
