I have a used 2005/2500 dodge 5.9l 6 cyl short bed i need 2 know the gvwr it will tow i have a 5 wheel trailer 11t300hundred can i tow

Which cab design do you have? The two door cab has a 7,050 lb. maximum towing capacity. The four door cab has a 4,400 lb. maximum tow capacity. The information for towing can be hard to understand. Know that the more weight you place inside the bed, the less weight you can place inside the trailer. It is a balancing act and there is a difference between pull weight and load weight. Also keep in mind weight shift and how important it is that the trailer tongue is level (For braking). The front and rear axle weights are on the driver's door jam. Any questions please write back.

The GVWR is 9200lbs

Yes.

I think the tongue weight rating on the stock hitch is 600 lbs, so you are over that. You probably want to level out truck to handle better when towing, so the best way is to get air bag helper that raises the back end.

the gvwr is the calculated weight the the truck can carry in the cab and the bed combined, it is not the towing capacity, the towing capacity can be found in your owners manual. I hope this helps you, good luck !

This is a very difficult question to answer.

Here is why: Are you pulling a trailer? Bumper mount hitch? Fifth Wheel? Weight distributing hitch? What is the limit on the tires? Is it a big six or a little six? Is this a load in the the bed of a pick-up? Is this a truck camper you are talking about? Are electric brakes involved? Will the frame support the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) (the maximum weight allowed on the frame when new). (I am specifically referring to frame rot or frame and suspension deterioration here!) How is your clutch? Drive shaft?

A major consideration in my mind would be the terrain you expect to be doing this pulling/hauling through. By design, the Ford F-150 is a 1/2 ton truck while the F-250 is considered to be a 3/4 ton truck. This is the limit for what you put in the truck, in the cab, in the tank and in the bed. Towing is an entirely different issue.

My friend, your vehicle is relatively low mileage but it is not in the condition it was in 1983, 27 years ago.

I hope I have helped, not confused you with this question and response.

Towing capacity for any vehicle depends on the engine size along with tire size. the towing capacity should be on the ID tag on the driver's side door and will also be in the owner's manual.
