What is you experience or opinions on towing 10,000 lbs with the V8 6.4l?
Well with 430hp and a fair amount of torque, I don't see a reason that you can't do a decent job of pulling 10,000# to 11,000# 5er. You have a good GVWR and with a 6,500# rear axle you should do well.
We pull an 11,000# 5er with our 01 Ram diesel, with less than 300 hp ( about 270), a bit more torque, and all that means is that you need to rev higher.
I think Ram now has a one, two punch in the HD Pickup truck wars. The Cummins diesel and the 6.4 hemi power for both the gas and diesel fans!
Enjoy the tow.
