The best way to determine your towing capacity is by contacting your local Dodge dealer and provide them your VIN. They can pull up all the specifications for your truck. I attempted to find an owners manual online but was unsuccessful. Check for sticker inside drivers door frame.
Another way is to find the maximum trailer weight you can tow is by subtracting the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR.) of your truck from the gross combined weight rating (GCWR.) that will give you the maximum gross trailer weight and/or max towing capacity (GTW).
Once you know the maximum towing weight capacity, you will not want to exceed it.
