I'm towing 8500# with the 6.4 Hemi after an 06 Duramax. It's pretty similar but the Hemi definitely revs higher. The 6 spd transmission gear spacing on the Hemi does pretty much suck. Most of the annoyance can be eliminated by just manually shifting.
I'm thinking of going heavier with a new RV this year and am somewhat regretting my switch to gas. It's not that the gassers can't do it. The diesel just does it so effortlessly. Without a doubt my next truck will be diesel. Am I totally regretting my purchase? No. I did save about 6K by going gas and the truck is super nice as a daily driver..... and really very good as a tow vehicle. Just not great.
