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.
Something else to think about... how often are the majority of people carrying significant weight over the pass? Unless you live near the area or particularly LOVE a campground in that area, you may only go over it once or twice in your life.
Personally I buy my vehicles for the 95% estimated usage... not or the 5% or less where I might be pulling big weight up a hill in a hurry. When we went across country as a family when I was a kid we went west in New Mexico area, north along the coast and came back east up in Wyoming. If I go back, I will probably go to Denver... but probably not more than once or twice.
To each their own.
