Anyone towed yet with the Hemi 6.4?
I am looking for a TV and am intrigued by the new Hemi 6.4. Anyone towed with it yet? MPG?

If you are comtemplating the 6.4 Hemi you should really do yourself a favor and test drive one. It really is a helluva engine. Lots of low rpm torque and the Hemi purrs like a sewing machine. The quality improvements in Ram trucks in the past decade are astounding. The new models are incredibly refined for a HD truck and you can see and feel the quality in materials and engineering.
I really think this is the motor that bridges the gap that provides the grunt to tow heavy loads and also gives you the day to day driveability of a gas engine. I love everything about my new Ram. I havent towed with it yet, but I have a 700 mile journey through the Smokey mountains starting next Saturday. So Ill be sure to post a report when I stop over in Ashville next Saturday evening. I really cant see this engine having any trouble with my 8300 lb TT. Even in the steep mountain grades.
After 400 miles I am seeing about 12mpg city and 16mpg highway. I am still learning the truck though and I know Ill be able to improve those numbers.
Go and test drive the truck. Look under the chassis. Notice the feel of the brakes, the switches, the turn signals...set the cruise control at 55 on a hilly highway and listen to the Hemi purr effortlessly up and down hills. Its a great truck...i think youll be impressed.
