It would be GVWR 7100lbs. If it is a 5th Gen. Your door sticker will have your payload and GVWR
Subtract payload from the GVWR and you will get your trucks base weight.
Base weight is an empty truck with full fluids.
Your front axle rating will be 3900 and your rear will be 4100. For the 5th...
I was going to state that in my post...but that again leads to another Rabbit hole.
And I also believe...is another great reason in the factory Cummins Powerwagon debate. It makes no sense for RAM to do it.
But I am over that discussion..lol
And it still boils down to the age old discussion...
My guess is...the HeftyDuty RAM with a Cummins is made and designed for optimal cooling. Moving the intercooler anywhere else will lower this.
The engine is not the only weight gain. You got the exhaust all the extra nannies the DEF tank etc.
Then you have the already ridiculous amount of...
Unless ford is doing something different...there is no driver weight in the payload calculation.
The driver weight comes into play when figuring max towing. They allow 150lbs for driver and 150lbs for passenger...i weigh 295...ao my passenger is a big gulp soda.

My son and I are on the search to hit the firetowers in Moshannon. We hit the ones in Rothrock...
I went to your other post and followed the link.
I see you have already been to some if the places I mentioned.
Funny...little pine is one of our favorite...but I see you did not much care for it...lol.
I have done the trip from trough creek to spruce creek through Rothrock and out through Bald Eagle. I have gone from Rothrock to Moshannon.
I have gone from Moshannon to the area covered by Pine Creek.
I just got to do it all at once. Lol. But I probably will not have time for that for a few...
I have contacted all the state forests and got their day use maps and motorized camping maps. Then I just head off.
The purple lizard maps are alot easier to use though.
@PennStateTaco
Rothrock is connected to it and offers the same. It only has 8 motorized campsites.
Moshannon State forest has motorized campsites and the same type of terrain...although not as much overgrowth.
Elk has alot to see. Of course the pine creek area...pa grand canyon has plenty...
