2006 Ram 3500 2x4 dually diesel
Getting the run around on Google, can't find a decent spec sheet.

Door label GVWR: 11500# Registration paper states GVW 7999# (net weight 6841# ?).

Wanting to buy RV dry weight 12500#, will this truck pull it (thinking 200# of junk/food in trailer. I never carry water. Hope to buy this week if possible

Trying also to find payload/GCVWR/ any specs for towing, to use for RV, race and our horse trailer. Thanks

should be able to pull about 15,000

Ideally you would pull it 5th wheel

not really about how much you can pull, but how much you can stop. Good trailer brakes and 5th wheel setup and you would be fine

I have a 2006 Ram 2500 quad cab , 4x4, , short bed , 5.9 diesel. My maximum GCVWR is 21000 pounds according to Chrysler. It was through Chrysler paper work, that I had found the GCVWR. About 1 year after I had purchased the truck, I went to get my Pa. registration legal for the GCVWR, and I needed a copy of paper work from Chrysler stating what the truck could haul. Your 3500 truck, and being 2 wheel drive, should be the same or more.

I have a 2006 3500 Larime, 5.9, auto, 4X4, and I pull a 32' three axle tag trailer (approx. 12K-13K loaded, rated at 15,000 lbs) with no problem. One thing I found out was the factory receiver (that is a part of the frame and bumper support) is not rated for that much weight. I bought a extra heavy duty Curt receiver that bolts on under the factory one. Works quite well.

edit:
The factory hitch is 10,000 lbs, the Curt hitch is 17,000 lb's
