Tow weight on my truck

[PA1904]

Sorry if this has been talked about, I can't find it. I have a 2004 Ram 3500 cummins quad cab long bed automatic with 4.10 gears. How heavy can I legally tow? (I know it's about braking and safety)

I have a Hemisphere 368 RLBH.

I live in PA, I called Penndot, they can't tell me anything helpful.

So according to the chart I'm good to 23k, which means I have to jump to a class 8 in PA. It's crazy to jump that high for camping from spring to beginning of winter.

Remember that 23k is the gcwr your tow limit is 15450 and truck weighs 7380

Try this site. My wife and I attended a RV show in Atlanta yesterday. This was one of the seminars presented and it was very good. Hopefully this will provide you with an answer.
