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?
