According to RAM this can tow around a 17,000 trailer depending on cab, frame length and options on the truck.

I am sure they will try to justify this with 6 speed trans gearing. Not in DRW and Cab/Chassis .... I wonder why. I towed with 3:54 for years and that was too high in most cases. Watching trans temp and EGT will make long grades interesting with those high finals.
