Need advice on Ram 1500 5.7 to Ram 2500 6.4
Hello everyone The issue I am having is pulling my 8.5x18" enclosed trailer with tools, two bikes and other stuff. My trailer is always loaded to 6000# to 7000# and pulls ok with my 2014 Ram 1500 ...

With how close the 5.7L on the 1500 is to the 6.4L horsepower and to torque, the fact that his 1500 has an 8 speed versus the 6 speed in the 2500, and the fact that his 1500 weighs a lot less than a 2500 then I can see this outcome. The torque multiplication from the 8 speeds shorter low gears would have given him more torque than that 6.4L with its 6 speed. The only benefits of the 2500 would be the better load handling and longevity of the truck which was not his complaint. Performance was.
