Re: Towing abilty of 02 Ram 1500 4x4 4.7l auto 3.9 ar
1500 is a 1/2 ton pickup, and the 4.7 is a fairly small engine and the 4x4 option is fairly heavy. So your safe towing weight is probably under 5000 pounds. That trailer will probably weigh near to 8000 pounds loaded for travel, which is WAY beyond that truck's capability. I would keep as far as possible from the dealers who claimed you could tow it. Assuming the info you provided is correct, they would seem to be either incompetant or willing to kill you to get the sale...
