At 2850 in the bed it could just about carry a race car Without the trailer if you could fit/put it in there!

Sometimes you have to haul a huge load--like horses or an entire New England state. That's where 1-ton trucks come into play, as they can carry a big payload and tow even more.

The Ram has been a player in this world for years, and for 2009 Dodge released a redesigned truck. As with most offerings in this segment, the Ram’s option list contains a huge number of possible bed, cab and engine configurations.

Our Ram 3500 Laramie Mega Cab 4x4 was fairly well stocked, as it sported the big cab and Cummins turbo-diesel power. The major options included leather-trimmed bucket seats ($500), a six-speed 68RFE transmission ($1575) and a power sunroof ($550).

Despite the comfy cockpit, this is still a capable hauler. It can carry up to 2850 pounds in its bed, while the standard towing capacity is 10,950 pounds; options, however, can bump that second number up to 16,500. Like we said earlier, sometimes you need the right tool for a big job.
