weight ratings

I've got a 2003 Ram Quad cab 4x4 5.9L HO with the 48RE.

For some reason, the only rating I can find is the 9200 lb GVW...maybe I missed it in th owners manual or the door sticker?

What does this truck weigh? What is the gross combined weight?

How much is it rated to pull by the hitch weight distributing?

What is it rated to tow using a 5th wheel/gooseneck trailer connection?

thanks

One thing is we need more info about your truck, 2500, 3500, Dually, Long bed, short bed
If yo want all the data then go to http://www.dodge.com/ram_truck/index...pe=vehicle_nav and go to the Towing Guide section. Ten you can figure out what you want to know.

Also look in the gloove box there is some GVWR data in there

Sorry for the lack of info. The truck is a 2500 SRW long bed with the tow package, snow plow package, fold flat storage, power adjustable pedals, and the sport package.

Thanks for the link...gave me basically what I was asking for. Been there before, but totally forgot about it.

GVWR and GAWRs (front and rear) should be on the driver's door sticker. GCWR should be on the Mulroney sticker (the new vehicle window price sticker) as well as in the Towing section of the owner's manual. The only way to get an accurate laden curb weight (LCW) is to load up the truck the way you'll be using it (driver, passengers, cargo, full fuel tanks, accessories, etc.) and head for the truck scales - get individual steer/drive axle weights as it will help you later.
