2018 Dodge 3500 dually gas motor row ratings

With the super high diesel ratings they have, how do the gas motor ones rate?

    About the half the trailer weight of the diesel models.

    4.10 gears in both.
    Gasser 15,600
    Diesel/Aisin 30320.

    That is so sad on so many levels!:h

    I currently tow a 12,775# 5er with a 2001 Ram 2500 with 3.55!

    Climbs hills well usually around 60 mph, no need for bags on the truck.


    X2^^^

    I tow 14K 5vr with 11 yr old 3500 SRW with 4:10 and a 48RE Auto

  • That is actually my dream truck. Ram 4x4 CC Dually Laramie Longhorn with the 4:10 and 6.4 gasser. Pretty rare truck. Just about the perfect truck to pull a large TT and haul a lot of people and haul a golf cart in the bed.

    I’m not sure how much $$ it actually saves. There are often some good discounts on the diesel Ram trucks.

    Thanks
