Fifth Wheel Towing Capacity for 2020 Ram 3500 with OEM Rail Kit Diesel
Question:
How Much Can I Tow? I recently purchased this truck with the 6.7L diesel and 68RFE Transmission. It is a Laramie Crew Cab 4x4, SRW, with a factory installed Tow Prep Group aka fifth-wheel setup. Not the dually. The vehicle manual has a table in it that has lists the hitch type and max trailer wt. I called the dealer and they were very non-committal on their answer. I have searched the web and have found numbers like 14k, 19k, and the manual shows 35k with a gooseneck. How much is it? Doesnt the factory installed tow prep group increase it? Ive attached images of the various locations/screen shots that Im referring to. THANK YOU!

We have to recommend you defer to the owners manual or to a Ram dealer as we aren't an authority on the towing package of your truck. To me it looks like the 35k capacity but you'd have to confirm that with them.
The highest capacity fifth wheel hitch we offer is the B and W Companion part # BWRVK3600 which has a 25k capacity.
