Ram 1500 with 3.0 diesel
Continuing my research for a possible new(er) TV. Anyone own/towing with the Ram 1500 with the 3.0 diesel? Might be to small for my towing needs, but something to think about. Thanks,

Someone is seriously ignorant with regard to the significance of "horsepower" and "torque."
A diesel with 240 HP and 450 ft-lbs won't outrun a gasser with 365 HP and 250 ft-lbs in a drag race, but the lower HP diesel will drag a heavy trailer up a mountain both faster and with less drama. Not to mention needing less fuel to do it.
