Increase your Ram's Payload by 50%

Some states require that any vehicle that grosses over 4 tons must scale. No matter what your capacities are they will weigh each axel, as that is what is really important. They can then check the load ratings for each axel and if you excede them they will park you and give you a ticket. Also, no matter what your true or legal capacities are, you must adhere to all the rules, and if your tires are not rated for your load, once again it is ticket time.

That is the one portion of this discussion no one has touched on. Tire load capacity. I run load range E tires on my 07 CTD 4x4 Dodge. I also tow a 36' toy hauler with over 1600 tongue weight. On MPG empty I can get 19 MPG driving below 70. Towing yesterday here to GA. running 75 I went to hell in a hand cart. 10.5,341 miles on 32.5 gal. The shop I work now makes a living on 6.0 diesels.Between blown head gaskets, rupture EGR coolers, cloged oil coolers,bad injectors, cracked injector cups, bad FICM's,blown oil rail ends, and bad turbo's it is no wonder why Ford told International to pack sand when asked to help with warranty claims and they said no! Sorry to hi jack the thread, I shut up now.
