Light Duty
The 2015 Ram 1500, twice voted Motor Trend’s Truck of the Year, offers great power and great capacity. The word ‘light duty’ may be misleading with a maximum payload of 1,930 pounds and a maximum towing rate of 10,450 lbs.
Heavy Duty
Ram commercial pickups in Baltimore offer even more capacity and even more towing power. The carrying max is an amazing 7,320 lbs. The towing max is 30,000 lbs.
Trims and Special Editions
Trims and special editions are not limited to the 2015 Ram 1500 in Baltimore. Heavy Duty trucks can come with special luxuries and lots of dashboard technology. Cabin size is not limited by light or heavy duty designations.
Cab Sizes
Regular cabs seat three while the Quad, Crew and Mega Cabs seat six. As cab sizes get bigger, it is important to figure the weight of the passengers into the gross weight of the vehicle.
Vehicle Weight Factors
Axle ratio can determine how much you can haul, but it can also limit the vehicle’s efficiency if the capacity is underutilized. This means that light haulers should go with less ratio for better fuel economy overall. The vehicle’s weight is also affected by whether the truck is a regular 4×2 or a 4×4. The four wheel drive vehicle can do more, but it will also weigh more.
