One question we get a lot at Ron Bouchard Chrysler Dodge RAM is: how much does the RAM 1500 weigh? The short answer is that it depends on the trim level, but the 2023 RAM 1500 weight ranges from 4,765 pounds to 6,440 pounds. The more complicated answer is that there are more factors to consider, such as whether you’re measuring the gross weight, curb weight, or combined weight. Luckily, the team at Ron Bouchard Chrysler Dodge RAM has outlined everything you need to know about the 2023 RAM 1500 weight in the guide below!
There are two major factors to consider when evaluating the RAM 1500 weight: the trim level, and the type of weight. The 2023 RAM 1500 comes in seven available trim levels–Tradesman, Tradesman HFE, Laramie, Rebel, Limited Longhorn, Limited, and TRX–that each offer different numbers in terms of weight. We’ve listed all the details below – check it out!
Let’s start our guide by looking at the RAM 1500 curb weight. Curb weight is usually what people are looking for when they ask about a vehicle’s weight rating, since it refers to the vehicle’s weight by itself (i.e. without passengers or cargo).
The gross vehicle weight rating, or GVWR, is different from the curb weight. It refers to the maximum weight that the vehicle can handle, combining the curb weight, passengers, and cargo. If you’re planning on making the most of your RAM 1500’s payload capacity, it’s important to know each trim’s GVWR:
Finally, let’s look at the RAM 1500’s gross combined weight rating, or GCWR. The GCWR is different from the GVWR because it also takes into consideration the vehicle’s towing capabilities. If you want to haul cargo around Fitchburg behind your RAM 1500, you’ll need to know the GCWR so you know how much is safe to tow:
