    My 2019 Ram Limited CC Diesel 4x4 dually is rated 5130 payload. I have the aisin with 4.10, so I have a couple hundred pounds less payload than the other auto trans. The towing capacity is way more than I'll likely ever tow.

    Very true!

    OP: make sure you post the pictures for your fellow RAM owners to oogle!

    Nice looking Ram. It will meet your need. I'm in the same boat with getting a TV and going the DRW route myself.

    Thank you in advance!!!

    springhillcindy; I have almost that exact truck. I suspect maybe the weight numbers you listed are what you at least need for the rig you are looking at?, but actually the weight rating numbers for a DRW will be way over that. In my signature line is my truck's rated numbers. In addition, the GAWR Front = 6,000#. GAWR Rear = 9,750#. It is more than capable for our Solitude and would be for your Momentum, rides great, tows great, stops great, is a pleasure to drive. the exhaust brake is well worth it. Ours does not have rear air bags or air ride, in my opinion it doesn't need it.

    I go by the numbers that is listed on the truck door jam stickers. Looking up the numbers for my truck through the Ram web site by its VIN gives incorrect numbers.

    I have a 2019 ram srw 3500 Limited with the HO Cummins diesel, crew cab short bed. I chose it because of the horrid turning radius in the long beds and 70% of the time I’m not towing.

    Although I may not be towing your trailer, I promise I have towed much much much more weight and the truck doesn’t even sweat or sway. You’ll be fine - more than fine with the dually. I can get the ratings/numbers for you if needed, but I promise-your good. Love this truck btw and so does my family.

    Here's the 2019 chart for the Big Horn, never mind the arrow, that's the truck i'm getting. Looks like you're looking at the gas numbers but remember too that there are two types of duallies. One is for payload like work trucks for plumbers, electricians etc that don't tow much if ever. Then there's the tow truck with less payload but way more towing capability.

    your GCWR is what your 5th wheel and trucks weigh together, payload is the hitch weight, your payload maybe ok but your GCWR may be over, depends on the truck specs
