The 3.21 rear end is going to be a hinderance. With that gear I seriously doubt it has a tow pkg which means no extra cooling for the transmission or anything else.

I had a Hemi Ram with the 3.92 rear end and my current truck has similar power but with 3.42 rear end and definitely notice the difference. I wouldn't even consider towing with a 3.21 gear and my camper is only about 6k lbs.
