Seeing the above post, don't get hot and bothered guys. I really appreciate both of your vantage points. I value both of your well intentioned advice. My lack of insights into diesel motors, and what I will need to tow my first camper are the real problems here. Let's stay focused on the real issue, my ignorance. Im so dumb my hair hurts and my teeth itch.
Jim,
We live in Rockingham. We come through your way often. We take our whitewater raft to Johnson City,Tenn and float and fly fish the Watauga. Spend lots of time in Bryson City too. Floating and fishing the Tuck and mountain biking Tsali. The SW tip of NC and NE tip of Tenn are our favorite areas to play.
Here's the video I saw of the Hemi 6.4 struggling so miserably.
It was towing 12k lbs up Ike Gauntlet in Colorado. At one point, 30 mph in first gear, and losing speed.
Skip to 15 min and 30 sec and listen.
