2014 Ram 2500 6.4L Tow Review
Today I took my new Ram for its longest tow to date, a 350 mile trek through Ky and and the Smokey Mountains ending the day in NC. This was a good test with light to heavy rain all day, low visabilty ...

good report on the 6.4.
I am watching for something similar to come along towing heavier, like a 11.5 to 12K plus fifth wheel.
I tow our fifth wheel thru the Smokies on I40 and then south on I 12. It weighs in at around 11.5. The only challenge is the Saluda Grade in NC heading north. It is long but sticks to 6%.
By any stretch, I am not wanting to do a high jack here. Mine just happens to be a 6.2 Ford.
Thanks for the info and I am looking for down the road info on what that big motor will really do when put to the larger test.
I think thats the stretch I hit on my way back where I saw all the trucks pulled over with hoods up. It was a beast of a hill...my oil temp went up to 248, norm is 220, trans went up to 171, norm is 165, coolant went up to 220 as well, norm is about 210.
I agree...love to hear about someone pulling a 5er with the 6.4L...
