Now if they could only get a higher payload so that you could actually tow something other than a boat, that has a higher hitch weight like a Travel trailer, without overloading the GVWR.

I couldn't even consider Ram after looking on their lot and seeing such low payloads.

They are changing the wrong component of their truck, they need to look at brakes, chassis, and suspension components to raise their payload.

I drove diesel trucks in the past that had very high torque ratings but very low horsepower as this 3.0L. It will be very annoying driving in hills or high wind, and not being able to keep speed up. Having a displacement large enough to provide 300 horsepower would make all the difference in the world.

But at least they are actually trying new things.
