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...

Where did you think redline was? 35 in 3rd is roughly 1400 rpms, which isn't working that hard. 2nd Prime would have been around 2100 and 1st at 35 is only 4200
I'd say your gearing is vastly different than my 2004 Durango or your figures are way off. As for heat, not sure where you live but towing up steep mountain grades in 100-110F heat isn't so easy at times. Some TV's certainly do better than others with heat. Most here add aux tranny and/or engine coolers. The Durango ran hot, my 2500 diesel towing 11,000lbs runs cool.
