2021 RAM 1500 CLASSIC
CAMPER APPLICATION
CONSUMER INFORMATION ON:
CARGO WEIGHT RATING
CENTER OF GRAVITY

2021 CONSUMER INFORMATION FOR RAM 1500 CLASSIC TRUCKS CAMPER APPLICATION
Under the authority of the National Traffic and Motor
Vehicle Safety Act, the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) has established certain require
-
ments concerning trucks capable of accommodating
slide-in
campers. Manufacturers of such trucks are
required to provide, the cargo weight rating and the longi
-
tudinal limits within which the center of gravity should be
located.
Th
is booklet is a compilation of that data. It is designed for
the use
and guidance of prospective purchasers who
intend to use Ram pickup trucks to carry slide-in campers
and related equipment.
Because conditions of improper load distribution or over-
loading can have adverse effects on vehicle steering and
braking,
possibly resulting in accidents, knowledge of the
cargo weight rating and location of the center of gravity
should be important factors to the prospective purchaser
of any truck-camper combination.
In keeping with governmental requirements, this informa-
tion must be maintained in truck dealerships and must be
m
ade ava
ilable to all prospective purchasers who request
it. If it becomes necessary to revise this information
during a model year, dealers are responsible for making
such revisions available to the public.
EXCLUSIONS:
The following Ram Truck models are NOT recommended
for slid
e-in camper applications:
RAM
•TRX 1500
•All RAM 2500 Power Wagon models
Additional copies of this publication are available at no
cost from:

The tables on the following pages designate the Cargo Weight Rating (CWR) and the Center of Gravity (CG) Zone for each vehicle listed.
•CWR for a given truck model is the cargo capacity, in pounds, excluding the weight of occupants in the cab of the vehicle.
•CG Zone is the area BETWEEN the forward limit dimension ‘‘A’’, and the rearward limit dimension ‘‘B’’, both measured in inches from the rear end of the truck bed or pickup box (see
illu
stration above).
•When the truck is used to carry a slide-in camper, the total cargo load of the truck consists of the manufacturer’s camper weight figure, the weight of installed additional camper equip-
ment not included in the manufacturer’s camper weight figure, the weight of camper cargo, and the weight of passengers in the camper. The total cargo load should not exceed the truck’s
CWR
and the camper’s CG should fall within the truck’s recommended CG Zone when installed.
•Secure loose items to prevent weight shifts that could affect the balance of your vehicle. When the truck camper is loaded, drive to a scale and weigh on the front and on the rear wheels
sepa
rately to determine axle loads. Individual axle loads should not exceed either of the Gross Axle Weight Ratings (GAWR). The total of the axle loads should not exceed the Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating (GVWR). These ratings are given on the vehicle certification label that is located on the left side of the vehicle, normally the dash, hinge pillar, door latch post, or door edge
next to the driver. If weight ratings are exceeded, move or remove items to bring all weights below the ratings.
USING THE TABLES:
•At the top of each page are descriptions of the truck models; wheelbase; type of cab; size of pickup ox; style of seats; and the GVWR applicable to the truck.
•Sub-headings classify the CWR and CG Zone dimensions based on engine types available. Under the ‘‘Model’’ column, items of optional equipment (related to the vehicle’s intended
u
se)
are listed in various combinations, indicating their influence on CWR figures. Also when reading the tables you will see the remaining cargo space available in pounds.
•When reading the tables, you will notice that, as more optional equipment is added to the base vehicle, the CWR is decreased due to the additional weight of the options. At the same
time
, the size of the CG Zone changes due to the LOCATION of the added weight.
INSTALLING THE CAMPER:
•The CG of the loaded camper, as determined and marked by the camper manufacturer, must fall within the CG Zone of the truck (see illustration above).
•The total weight of the fully-equipped camper, furnished by the camper manufacturer, should not exceed the CWR of the truck. After the camper and auxiliary equipment is installed,
proper loading should be verified on an accurate truck scale before putting the vehicle into service.
•Be sure the GVWR of the truck is not exceeded and that the loading on front and rear axle systems does not exceed their respective GAWR.
NOTE:
GVWR and GAWR data for the truck appears on the Safety Certification label, located on the door-latch post, on the driver’s side.
