Hemi 6.4 Ram vs Ford 6.2 (gas)
Before I do comparisons on these two engines, has anyone already done research on this... feedback would be great and perhaps save some extra time. Thanks for the input!

Who the heck pulls 6-7% grades wide open or trying on purpose to maintain the speed limit? The majority of guys towing won't beat their trucks like TFL guys do. Heck their treating it like a rental. Even with my Cummins and only towing 9000lbs I don't do work the******out of it to maintain the speed limit when climbing passes. I let it do what feels natural when climbing. Just my guess but the average guy would not complain towing Ike with any of the big 3 gasser 3/4 ton trucks.
I like your way of thinking. Imagine the engine required in an OTR 18-wheeler in order to climb a 5 mile long 6-7% grade 65mph just so the driver "can". I can easily run with the big rigs towing our 8500~lb 5th wheel with our lowly 310hp 5.4L F250 keeping it under 4500rpm. Even my 250hp Cummins kept up with the big rigs towing our previous 10,400 lb 5th wheel. That's plenty of power for towing the vacation house for me. Any of the new gas rigs are good for their tow ratings.
