    Hi guys,
    I have a dodge ram 3500, 5.9, rear wheel drive and the engine is not cummins engine.
    I just would like to ask that, how many cars I can haul with this truck, do you recommend, 3 or 4 cars maximum.

    where I have to go to check the capacity load for my truck, like dealership or somewhere else.

    Thanks in advance

    It is a 2005, so get a 5 car to put behind it. More money!
    It will be better if it is a single rear wheel instead of dually, extra tires is just extra weight.
    CDL? Pffft who needs that? Or insurance? Just takes time & money out of your pocket. ;)

    Obviously messing with you on the above. But if it is a gasser, may as well stay home though.

    I had that 5.9L Magnum V8 in a 1500 Dodge and in all honesty, the Vortec 4.8L in the GMC I replaced it with would just about dance circles around that boat anchor (and burn way less fuel doing it too).

    Take it to Cottrell in GA. Have them fabricate a headrack, and stinger. Hook on a new trailer, add hydraulics. Good to go.

    We got 2010 Ram3500 and 2016 Ram 3500. 2010 it really not designed to haul anything more than 2 (Enclosed) maybe 3 open at very best, but never tried.
    Heard people hauled 4-5 car with Ram3500 and over a few years an actual frame of the truck have twisted as it is not designed for such heavy loads. Engine is not powerful enough as well.
