If others that are towing a 6000-8000 pound trailer with a 6.4L and are happy with the combination, that's all I need to know. I trust the opinions of the folks on this forum more than I trust the truck salesman at my dealer.
Towing 6k - 8k with a 3/4 - 1-ton Hemi 6.4?! IMO, a no-brainer---should be an awesome tow! No, I haven't personally towed 6k - 8k with a Hemi 6.4 (410hp/429 ft.lb.), but I have towed 8k with a Tundra 5.7 (381hp/401 ft.lb.) cross-country a number of times. Plenty of power as long as you don't mind pulling 3-5K RPM's while accelerating and climbing. As for handling and stability, a 6,800 lb., 3/4 or 1-ton (CC, 4x4) Hemi 6.4 will provide that in spades with a 6,000 - 8,000 lb. trailer. Seriously consider getting the 4.10 rear end which nets a 15,000+ lb. tow rating. The tranny will thank you--even if you tow less than 10k.
