Just towed my TT with new diesel
Holy hell......I can't stop the grinning. First time I have pulled our 7500lb TT with our 2012 Ram CC 4x4 with the 6.7L engine. Up grades of as much as 8% and I was able to effortlessly hold 60-65mp...

I know how you feel - I love pulling with the Cummins as well. It makes a big difference here in Montana where there are a lot of hills to climb.mtofell1 wrote:
It's funny reading this.... you're grinning about holding 60-65 up a hill. With my "older" 2006 Duramax I still do the same thing regularly. I've been doing it so long I forgot how good I have it :)
I couldn't imagine going back to the days of putting my foot to the floor at the bottom of the hill only to hear the truck struggle and weeze to hold 50.
Welcome to the wonderful world of happy towing..... and thanks for reminding me how good I have it :)
You guys are not even making your Diesel break a sweat! You are all pulling TT with GVW around or under 8,000#, do like Cummins12V98, and put 18K behind it!
Heck I pull an 11K+ 5er with my 01, and still pull most hills at 55mph+, with 3.55's that is where the torque comes in!
You're right, my Cummins doesn't break a sweat at all and that's one of the reasons that I got it to begin with over the HEMI. I'm pretty much busting my payload as it is right now the way I go out with the biggest offender being the atv and soon to be 2 atvs that there is no way I would *want* to tow with a gasser again. The diesel is just too damn nice. I'm done with the feeling of pushing the gas pedal through the floorboard and going 30mph up steep grades! :B
