I had a 2003 1500 with the 5.7L Hemi in it. I had the 4X2 and we were towing about 7000lbs loaded up. 31FT long from tip to tail. It towed really well with a equalizer setup, but it struggled up the hills. On 5% grades that were long, I would be down to 35-40mph and running way up there on the rpm side. But overall it towed just fine. You just have to be patient with it and know you aren't out there to beat any land speed records. I upgraded to the 6.7L Cummins and will never look back.
