I love my ram heavy duty. I have about 4000 miles trouble-free on mine now. Keep in mind the Cummins engine is a straight six and makes all its power downl lower than a v8 because the stroke is longer. The Chevrolet and Ford have to rev higher to make power and that is why they feel faster. There was a YouTube video put out by the fastest truck or something like that and they said the same thing you said. They said the Ford and Chevy felt faster but once they towed up Eisenhower Pass the Dodge beat both of them by over a minute or two. When you put a Cummins underload it is truly a workhorse. You will see! We are on an RV site. Most of us buy trucks to tow anyway. In my opinion you cannot beat a Cummins motor for towing. Nice truck and I hope you enjoy.
