2019 Ram's up'ed their numbers to almost crazy.
3500 crew cab long bed SRW's
Ram says they can tow 25,150 lbs
Chevrolet stayed with similar numbers to 2017 & 2018 ~ 17,000 lbs. I heard GM is increasing their tow numbers in 2020.
The GAWRR is almost the same
Ram - 7000 lbs
Chevrolet - 7,050 lbs
The difference is in GCWR
Ram- 33,610 lbs (which is CDL-A)
Chevrolet - 25,300 lbs
Dang a Chevrolet dually is only rated to tow 22,700 lbs
Dang, that is a lot of weight for a SRW. According to their numbers, Ram's rear curb weight is 3005 lbs leaving approximately 3995 pin weight (no people, gear, fuel etc) = 15.8% of max trailer weight. I am not accounting for how far ahead of the axle the pin is but you can see they have about maxed out a SRW (with normal tires).
