Looking to tow 8000 lb trailer with a Hemi
I am considering an 8000 lb TT (loaded weight) that I would like to pull with a 3/4 Ram with a 5.7 Hemi. I have WD and sway control on both sides. Anyone have a similar set up and do you tow okay with...

345hp should do a lot better than 35 up a 6% grade with only 5000lbs behind it.
I agree; with my 2003 hemi 5.7L with a 5-speed auto, I often did 6-8% grades at 50 mph towing an 8,000-lbs 5th wheel.
Just as a note, the new ones like my 2014 have 395-hp and 410-lbs of torque with an 8-speed.
