Yes Shinerbock 371k she pushed out a head gasket. I replaced it with another ED motor. Still been towing with the ED for 425,000 plus miles.
Grit dog makes a great point about people that don't see a vehicle that fits their needs perfectly in this market as they are unreasonable.
With respects to which truck you pick As Shinerbock said just matters whats more important to you.
RinconVTR My 3.92 8 speed 270 HP ED gets half ton appropriate 5 to 7k TTs to 65 mph in comfortably quick fashion easily matching traffic flow. If you need big HP to get their quick enough for you that is your issue.
Payload more accurately available GVWR does matter mostly legalistically speaking if you don't have enough and bought the wrong truck for the trailer you are going to tow.
Not to get side tracked but as you likely know most RV new combers need first and foremost to learn and be focused on how to set up a safe and stable tow with WD adjustments TV TT & WDH according to scale results. Insufficient steer axle weight, overloaded drive axle weight, and too much or too little tongue weight cause far more real world problems than does a payload sticker.
What I have learned after 425,000 miles is that its a reliable fuel efficient motor for towing half ton appropriate loads.
Avoid Crowds Glad you had positive cost differential and no repairs towing with your Jeep for 155,000 miles. Taller gears, smaller thermo management cooler, smaller engine bay, and many quart smaller oil pan definitely compromises the Jeep in real world towing compared to the Ram.
With 3.92 & tune mine has proven to be quite competent to 7k and reliable & efficient to boot. I have taken a few TTs over I70 or Eisenhower pass. I don't feel I have to go 70 mph up a long steep grade though. Guess it comes back to expectations and priorities.
