My online research to find the towing capacity of your 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 Turbo-Diesel 4 X 4 revealed a maximum towing capacity of about 13,000-lbs, depending on the tranny, bed length and some other factors.

If you cannot find a towing capacity in your owner's manual you can check two other places. One is the sticker on the driver's-side door jamb. Find the figure for gross combined weight rating (GCWR) and subtract from this the gross vehicle weight (GVW) figure listed. The result will be maximum trailer weight. The other method is to visit your local dealership with your truck's VIN number and have the dealer advise its towing capacity based on the specific combination of equipment and features you have.

Keystone's Raptor Series includes about 15 different models whose weights will vary depending on how they are equipped. The figure you need to compare to your Ram's maximum trailer weight is the 5th wheel's GVW, or gross vehicle weight, which is the most it can weigh with all cargo, supplies, etc.
