Expert Reply:
There are several different trim levels for the 2010 Ram 1500, all with different towing capacities. The highest I was able to find was 10,200 pounds. None of them go up to 12,000 pounds. You would need a different trailer or a 3/4 or 1-ton truck to tow the 2001 Glendale.
The towing capacity of your truck should be in the owners manual. This would also include payload information to determine if it can handle the pin weight.
