How heavy are you towing with your Ram 6.4

I currently have a V10 excursion with 4.30's that we may be replacing. The X tows my 10,500 TT quite well. I' m wondering how the 6.4 Dodge would do towing this setup.

I have come across a couple of 2014 2500 Dodges with the 6.4 that have caught my eye. I have read where some of the 2500's have a 4000 lb payload. This seems quite high. For those of you with 6.4's, how heavy of loads are you towing and how does the truck handle it? If we decided to move up to a 5th wheel in the future, how much more could the 6.4 comfortably tow?

    My friend bought a 1 ton 6.4, that carries a large cab over camper with power to spare, and a good ride. You just need $$$$$$.
    Not the engine you're inquiring about, but our 2010 5.7 Hemi 4 door does a good job pulling a 9000 lb. trailer. Just add gas!


    I plugged Dodge 6.4 into the search and it came back with 0 matches. As far as adding gas, I have a V10 X with 4.30's now. Gets about 10 mpg letting my son drive it to school and 7.5-9.0 towing. Doubt the 6.4 would do worse than those numbers
