How Much Does the RAM 1500 Weigh?
If towing and hauling tasks are a part of your every day in Joliet and Naperville, then there’s a lot you need to know about vehicle weight and cargo capacity before you buy your next truck. How much does the RAM 1500 weigh, and which configuration can easily take care of your cargo? Find out in this guide to RAM 1500 GVWR, GCWR, and curb weight from Tyson Motor Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram.
RAM 1500 Weight Ratings
Need to know how much the RAM 1500 weighs without passengers or cargo? The weight of an unloaded vehicle is known as the curb weight.
If you need to know how much cargo your truck can carry, you’re looking for the GVWR or Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. This is the amount you get when you add the curb weight to the weight that the truck can handle safely—including passengers, cargo, and any additional gear.
If you’re towing, you will need to be aware of the maximum safe weight of the loaded vehicle when combined with a loaded tow trailer. This is known as the Gross Combined Weight Rating, or GCWR.
Towing capacity is the maximum safe weight the vehicle can tow. That’s different from tongue weight, which is the amount of weight placed on the trailer hitch by the trailer itself.
