What is the towing capacity of a 2008 Dodge half ton V6?

The towing capacity of a 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 (half-ton) with a V6 engine varies depending on several factors including the specific V6 engine (there were a couple of options), axle ratio, and optional equipment. There's no single number.

To find the exact towing capacity for *your* specific 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 V6, you need to:

1. Find your vehicle's sticker: Look for the sticker located on the driver's side doorjamb or in the glove compartment. This sticker will list the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating), payload capacity, and most importantly, the towing capacity.

2. Check your owner's manual: Your owner's manual will also specify the towing capacity for your particular configuration.

Without knowing the precise engine and options on your specific truck, I cannot provide a definitive answer. Expect the towing capacity to be significantly lower than a V8-equipped Ram 1500 of the same year.
