MPG with late model Ram 3500 with 4:10 carrying TC.

I’m tempted by some great deals on new Rams. Primarily used to carry a larger TC to travel. I can get a 2018 Ram 3500 DRW Laramie 4x4 with Aisin trans for just under $52k. That’s a little over $16k...

What is the HP on new Dodge?
New engines are monsters, so I guess Dodge as usually is just a step behind Ford ;)
My 2017 F350 DRW with 3.55 differential will pull truck with 6000 lb camper, or 7000 lb cargo trailer on all California grades without dropping from overdrive.
When empty, I drove 20% grade ... on 4th.
MPG in my footnote.
