I'm sure I will not exceed the towing capacity given the 3.92 rear axle, but I would like to know the payload capacity.
Thanks

I had this same issue and called RAM several times. Got a different answer each time. All their customer service reps are contracted out. I finally got an emailed answer from them. I also had 3.92 rear axle. Here it is:
Thank you for contacting Ram.

- Maximum trailer weight includes cargo and fluids in the trailer and must be decreased by the weight of optional equipment, upfit body modifications, trailer hitch, cargo inside/outside the vehicle and passengers.
- If the gross trailer weight is 5,000 lbs or more, it is recommended to use a weight-distributing hitch to ensure stable handling of your vehicle.
- Trailer brakes are recommended for trailers over 1,000 lbs and required for trailers in excess of 2,000 lbs.
- The GVWR, Payload, GAWRs, GCWR, Maximum Trailer Weight and Maximum Tongue Weight should never be exceeded.
- Values determined using base model vehicle and SAE J2807 standards.
- The payload and maximum trailer weights provided in the Ram Body Builder's Guide and Towing Guide are estimated values. The actual values may be less depending on how the vehicle was equipped (more options add weight to the vehicle which reduces payload and maximum trailer weight).
- Payload - The amount of weight that will be carried by a truck including the driver, passengers, cargo, tongue or king pin weight, options (factory-, dealer-, or customer-installed) and the weight of any upfit body modifications.
