I agree it is all very confusing. I took Bert's method and did the math and that makes it more confusing. If I subtract payload, from the sticker, from GVWR I get a number for the actual truck weight (and that is more than the shipping weight on th etitle). So I subtract that result from GCWR and I get a tow rating that is HIGHER than the mfr says for tow rating. Very confusing.

Maybe it's a Dodge thing. I ran my empty truck numbers like you did above, and came out within 43 lbs of my actual tow capacity. Keep in mind, this method is designed to be used with loaded vehicles. Try adding your pw to the truck weight, subtracting the GCWR, then see what it does to the tow capacity.
