Towing Requirements - Dodge 2010 Ram Truck Owner's Manual

450 STARTING AND OPERATING
Consider the following items when computing the
weight on the rear axle of the vehicle:
• The tongue weight of the trailer
• The weight of any other type of cargo or equipment
put in or on your vehicle
• The weight of the driver and all passengers.
NOTE: Remember that everything put into or on the
trailer adds to the load on your vehicle. Also, additional
factory-installed options or dealer-installed options must
be considered as part of the total load on your vehicle.
Refer to "Tire Safety Information/Tire and Loading In-
formation Placard" in "Starting and Operating" for fur-
