RAM 1500 Weight By Trim Levels
We’ve compiled a table of the RAM 1500’s weight ratings. That said, you should first differentiate the curb weight, GVWR, and GCWR.
In simpler terms, curb weight is the base weight of a vehicle. This means it’s the mass of the car without cargo, passengers, or other things.
Meanwhile, GVWR, or Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, refers to the total weight of the vehicle and the amount of passengers and cargo it can carry safely.
The GCWR, or Gross Combined Weight Rating, involves the GVWR plus the allowable weight of a trailer that the pickup truck can tow safely.
