Jumping off the Diesel Bandwagon - UPDATED
Well, after two Cummins diesels that I thoroughly enjoyed, I am going to place a factory order for a RAM 2500 with the 6.4L Hemi, 4.10 gears, rear air suspension, Laramie and plenty of added options. ...

Which one is the grocery getter again
It would be more meaningful if you compared both engines with the same axle ratios and same years. Your new 6.4 gas will compare to a 6.7 Cummins with 850 foot pounds and a 4.10 axle at almost twice what the 6.4 will tow especially if the 6.7 is a regular cab non optioned basic truck that is a dually.
I'm comparing MY two trucks - the one I have now, and the one I ordered. That's the way they are equipped.
In was in reference to this:
Thus we have what we call grocery getter trucks(and your dozen eggs are safe), they are however not the trucks your father drove. No more install a set of air bags on your 2500 and it will do the job of a 3500 SRW.
