Base weight, GVWR and payload: what they mean
Base weight is what the truck itself weighs as Ram lists it in the towing chart, split in the chart between the front and rear axles. Options and accessories add to it. Axle ratio does not change it: the chart lists the same base weight for the 3.73 and 4.10 axle versions of each HEMI truck.
GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) is the most the loaded truck may weigh. Payload is how much weight in people and cargo the truck can carry. Where a truck is offered with more than one GVWR, the chart lists a different payload for each, shown here in the same order.
Ram labels these 2027 Ram 3500 Heavy Duty charts preliminary, so figures can change. Your truck's exact ratings are on the labels on the driver's door or door pillar.
