3/4 ton truck is the F250/2500 flavor? Is the 5.7L engine too small?


The 5.7l in the Ram 2500 has plenty of power but most will have 3.73 rear gear that is poorly matched with the transmission. Mine struggled with my 7600lbs camper in the hills, couldn't imagine towing 10k+ with it. A 6.4l with 4.10s would be a great match but you'd be looking at a much newer and more expensive truck.
