Anyone TC with a new RAM 3500 6.4 hemi yet?
I am wondering if anyone hauling a TC has got a new RAM 3500 dually with the new Hemi 6.4 gas engine? How is it for power/ economy? What kind of hauling payload can you get out of this combination...

Interesting enough in the DRW Configurations Ram has a significantly lower hauling capacity (and GVWR) for the gas engine compared to the Diesel. This is very different than, for example, Ford. I have no idea why their gas DRW trucks are so low.
You can find a list, which you can adjust to be heavy duty and then rank by payload here:

Thanks for this...
Most interesting, I wonder what reasoning they are using for those results, certainly different than most of us on here...
One would naturally think the gas engine is lighter and the payload would increase per the difference in the weight of the engines...
They seem to have it backwards...
