Here our the chart number for my 2015 SB 4X4 CC Aisin:
Total 7,775 Front Axle 4,810 Rear Axle 2,965
New 2019 LB 4x4 CC
Total 7877.5 Front Axle 4872.45 Rear Axle 3005.05
Here are my ready to tow weights loaded for full timing for a year and a half.
Total 8900, Front Axle 5140, Rear Axle 3760
(Because mine is a Laramie and has side steps it most likely weighs in at a couple hundred pounds more)
2015 SRW is rated for max of 25150.0 trailer weight. Must be for a 4 wheel cart type trailer or really light pin weight gooseneck trailer.

Yeah I understand where you're coming from. We have zero plans of carrying anything in the bed of the truck. I did add a B&w gooseneck hitch which brings the number down a little bit. But I plan on using a goose box instead of a normal fifth wheel hitch. I researched the exact toy hauler that I want and found a build sheet on one close by. The shipped pin weight of that fifth wheel is just under 2700 pounds. I will have two batteries and the LP tanks to add weight to the front pin along with the goose box. We don't carry much in the front bedroom since we're part-time and will be carrying 1000 lb in the rear cargo area with motorcycle, bikes, and kayaks. we tend to travel with very little water since we have full hookups everywhere we stay.
Based on the above this is why I went with a 2019 Ram 8 foot box to give me the capacity I needed for this exact trailer. I have room to spare if needed on all numbers.
