What can a Ram 3500 (6.7 Cummins HO DRW, gooseneck) ('25-26) actually tow?

The rating is the easy half of the answer. A trailer never weighs its brochure dry weight — water is 8.34 lb a gallon, propane and batteries ride along, and so does your gear — and hundreds of models changed their published weights mid-run, so the model year decides as much as the model. Judged that way, with a 10% margin and 2 people aboard: 5150 of 5150 campers fit a Ram 3500 (6.7 Cummins HO DRW, gooseneck).
The number that quietly binds is payload — 6,050 lb (Ram 3500 4x4 Regular Cab ST w/8' box DRW, 6.7L Cummins HO, 3.42 axle, 14,000-lb GVWR, GCWR 45,000 - the exact row that carries the 36,610 lb rating): tongue weight lands on the rear axle with your passengers and the hitch, so a vehicle often runs out of payload well before it runs out of rating.
Loaded estimate: dry weight + full fresh tank + propane, battery and gear for 2. Headroom is against the rating less 10%.

5150 fit. Which one is right for you?
That depends on what you care about — bunks for the kids, build quality, budget, weight you'd rather not tow. Set your priorities as sliders and watch all of these re-rank around them, live, with your vehicle already filled in. Nothing gets hidden.
