Dodge ram GVW

I have a 96 Dodge Ram 3500 duley, I use to pull my MF 231 with a 6 ft Woods mower. I have a Big Tex trailer I now use. I also have a Zieman trailer I have never used I thought about putting it into service since it is a little heaver duty than my Big Tex. I got to checking on the GVW of my truck which is 10,500 By adding up total weight of truck and tractor only I come up with 10,500. Is the truck sticker 10,500 saying only the weight on the truck itself, and not the trailer? Thanks for any help clearing this up for me. Stan
 
With the trailer attached and loaded w/tractor, the truck is legal for a total weight of 10,500 on its wheels. If you load your tractor so there is appropriate tongue weight, you will probably never hit the max on the truck. I have known guys to pull 30,000 lb loaded trailers with a dually Dodge, Cummins, stick shift. But I'd bet good money that is not legal. The Dodge trucks similar to yours are often used for pulling big 5th wheel RV trailers weighing up to 18,000 lbs. Probably your GCVW is about 26,000 lbs, as many 1 ton duallys are rated for something in that neighborhood.
