Punching in the VIN on the Ram site states it can max pull 17,780lbs.

Long story short, I ended up picking up his truck, with 52k miles for 32.5k, 1.5k over what the dealer was going to give him for trade. I believe it was a win/win for both of us.
Sounds like a good deal just turned in our 2016 Ram 3500, pulling at about 1/2 rated towing rating is sweet! Some day out west someone will ask you how did it pull in the hills, and your response will be "What Hills?"
