How well does the RAM 2500 6.4 Hemi tow?
I'm looking for a new truck to tow an 8000 lb travel trailer and I'm torn between the 2018 RAM 2500 6.4L Hemi and 6.7L Cummins diesel. All the reviews that that I've read show that diesel will tow be...

Update....I ended up leaving a deposit on a new 2018 RAM 2500 6.7L Diesel Laramie yesterday! I test drove two similarly equipped 2500 Laramie trucks, one with the 6.4L and one with the diesel.

Congrats on the new truck. Given that you got a 3/4 ton, I can only assume that your original post looking for a travel trailer and not a 5th wheel is what you're after. Otherwise I would strongly recommend a 1 ton truck; the 3/4 ton is going to greatly limit your selection of 5th wheel trailers due to pin weight. In fact, I would recommend a 1 ton regardless.

The payload capacity on a 2500 diesel is low, look at a 3500 SRW and get a GVWR of 12,300# and Payload of about 3,500#+.
I see you live in Long Island NY, what is the penalty for having a 3500 over a 2500 in licensing fee and restrictions.
