Vehicle weight isn’t usually one of the major factors that drivers consider when picking out a new vehicle, but it can be very important when looking for a pickup truck! Especially for drivers looking to haul or carry cargo around Shelby and beyond, a pickup truck’s weight is an essential part of the shopping and buying process. One of the most iconic American pickup trucks is the RAM 1500, delivering powerhouse performance specs and legendary RAM capability on and off-road. Spitzer Motors of Mansfield CDJR has everything you need to know about the curb weight and GVWR for the RAM 1500 in the guide below.
How much does the RAM 1500 weigh? It depends on two factors: the trim level you choose, and whether you’re looking at the curb weight or GVWR. Curb weight refers to the weight of a vehicle without any passengers or cargo, while GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating) refers to the maximum weight that the vehicle can handle with a full load of passengers, cargo, accessories, and additional gear.
For drivers looking to tow cargo behind their truck, there’s also a term called the GCWR, or gross combined weight rating. This refers to the maximum safe weight of a vehicle when combined with a loaded tow trailer. We’ve organized all the details on the RAM 1500 curb weight, GVWR, towing capacity, payload capacity, and GCWR below. Check it out!
