I can't remember what the exact towing capacity of my 05 Dodge Ram 3500 DRW diesel is but I think it is around 16,000 to 16,500......My gross weight with loaded trailer is 24,500 and it pulls it just fine even if I have the power turned down to the stock setting. On ocaission I have pulled upwards of 29,000 with no problem.....Hope this helps?

I believe in 2005 Dodge rated it up to 16,300.

Here's the complete ratings for 2004 (couldn't find 2005 on that site)

Here's Trailer Life Magazine's guide from 1999 through to 2008 models

Looks like right around 16,000# max trailer rating.
