Hi...I posted my question to Truck World, but they don't seem to have the answer, so I thought maybe some one on here would know....I know what my trailer weighs, and I'm looking for a new or lightly used Dodge 3500. I have brochures for 2011 & 2012 that I found online, and the info I need is provided in there. My difficulty lies in determining max towing capacity and/or GCVW for anything older than a 2011. Usually the most I can get out of the salesman is the rear axle ratio and the GVW....I can't get the rest of the picture. I've tried repeatedly to google it, and find a lot of general articles and info, but still not what I need. Is there a website I just haven't found yet? How do I go about getting the information I need?Thanks for any help!! A.
