Towing capacity..

Gees, I always feel SOOOOOO dumb on how to calculate this.... Can someone please tell me what my GVWR ( Total I can tow with truck and trailer combined??) ? I have a 2007 2500 5.9. I now know what my Living quarters trailer weighs so I would like to see how much I am supposed to be towing...

ALso, anyone have an approx weight of a Ram 2500 Quad cab?? Thanks!

2500 quad cab weight

I weighed my 07 2500 quad cab with a full tank of fuel and it was 7240 lbs. I also pull a fifth wheel and weighing together it was 21400 lbs. Pulls with no problems. It is a 4x4, 3:73 gear, automatic.

I have an Xpress 3H with 12' shortwall in the LQ area. If you visit www.xpresstrailergroup.com I have the " Advantage Plus" . It's 8 foot wide and 7'6" Tall. Very very very nice and cheap for what you get!!
