My 2015 Ram 1500 has the 8 speed/hemi package with 3.92 gears and tows my 6000 lb (+/-) almost effortlessly. I've accidentally broke traction when starting from a stop, and have had no problem passing lines of vehicles on long inclines. It has way more than enough power for it's rated capacity. Mine in particular has a 1348 lb payload, which isn't bad. They can get lower than that, but there is a lot of cushion with the GAWR. It's a night and day improvement over my previous '97 F150 (which was heavily modded for towing). It's extremely quiet and has great manners, even when towing. Unless you step on it, then it roars to life very pleasantly. The suspension gives a great unloaded ride, but is maybe a little too soft for towing in my opinion, but there are many available remedies for that. I'll be adding air bags one of these days. Mine isn't broken in yet, I get 19 mpg mixed driving on my daily commute, and 9 - 10 mpg towing in the hills and mountains of the northwest. I'm very happy with those figures which, once again, are a vast improvement over my last truck. If the other brands are better than this, then they are truly remarkable. I'm a very happy camper.
