6.4 Hemi w/3.73 towing a 11K loaded 5th wheel. It's a good not great setup. Truck has plenty of power but the Ram tranny gearing sucks and the 3.73 gearing isn't ideal. The Ford 6.2 w/4.30 and (presumably) good gearing from the tranny should handle the load just fine. In the end, my setup is okay. It's not like I'm a hazard on the road and block traffic. I'm in my third year with this setup and tow in the mountains out west. Financially, I could afford to get another truck but I get by well enough. Better gears and/or a better designed tranny would make a world of difference.
