^^^ Found my 1996 Ram 1500.

7600, just like i thought.

Sadly, our 02 Suburban will easily out tow my truck. 1000lbs more tow cap and a lot more powerful engine.

(Just an excuse to hop up my Ram!)

hey sactoxr250... I have a 2002 quad cab 4x4 speed and I am good for 13400... id say your truck has more power and could tow at least that

I am confused what the minimum and maximum boxes are for? I put in a ford ranger 2004 and got the following returned results:

4.0l v6 3100, manual trans, 3.73 axle ratio.

Am I to just assume my ranger is going to be worthless? :/

3100 lbs is what its rated for it looks like. Your owners manual should have detailed information about towing and what your limits are.

Is "metric hp" Pferdestärken? 1 US hp = 0.98 PS?

Yes, metric hp is also pferdestrake (ps) in German

1.0 brake hp = 1.01 metric hp

1.0 metric hp = 0.99 brake hp

1.0 lb_force-ft = 1.35 Newton-metres

1.0 Newton-metre = 0.74 lb_force-ft

Cheers!
