Snoking,
Thanks for that info.
I was just trying to figure out how the same model (actually a heavier Laramie package) could come off the lot half a ton lighter. I'm missing something here, and off the top it appears to be more payload on the 2019 RAMs. Not planning on changing trucks, but that is good info to know in the future or for some in the market for a new TV.
As Ted Knight said in "Caddyshack" "Well Danny, Hmm, Hmm."
Here are my scale weights with most everything I usually carry on trips.
TRUCK (With full fuel and all equipment/cargo & passengers)
2018 RAM 3500 4x4 CC SB SRW 3.42
Aisin Trans HO CTD/ 5K Air Lift bags
16K Curt Slider Hitch / Door Sticker payload:3822
GVWR: 11700 Max
GAWR: Front 6000 Max Rear 7000 Max
GVWR: 25300 Max
Max Trailer: 17050 Max
TRAILER
2017 Keystone Laredo 350 FB (All tanks dry,full propane tanks,tools, equipment,clothes,some groceries ect...)
Dry Weight: 11230
Cargo Capacity: 1770 Max
GVWR: 13000 Max

SCALE WEIGHTS
TV: (No trailer) Front 5100
Rear 3960= 9060
TV and 5er: Front: 5200
Rear: 6220= 11420
Subtract TV (No trailer) : 9060=2360-Pin Weight
Trailer Axel: 10020
Add Pin: 2360=12380 5er GCWR
GCWR 12380 – 11230 (Dry Trailer) = 1150 Cargo
GCWR: (Connected) Truck 11420 + 10020= 21440
