I think the TFL guys are all on crack. I put no value into their reviews. It isn't about how fast you get up the hill, it is about doing it safely and comfortably. The 6.4 with 4.10 gears would easily tow your rig in the smokey's.
However, it appears you want a diesel. Go buy one, you won't be disappointed, that is for sure.
Actually, I'm still open to the idea of a 6.4 Hemi. For one, I won't have to special order and wait months. And if it will be a long lasting engine, that's my primary concern. Regarding TFL guys, I have my doubts too. But it was still painful watching the Hemi struggle so hard. Chevy 6.0?? Had same trouble in Silverado. Guess mountains are ruled by diesels.
