For somebody that made the first comments on the original article and pointed out all the mistakes in calculating percentages and fuel usage, you tend to be a little thin skinned when folks make other comments or observations; none of which says you are or were wrong.
Again, 4700 pounds of trailer is nothing for either engine. Had the OP been towing 12,000 pounds of fifth wheel I am sure the difference between his 6.4 engine and a new diesel would have been dramatically different and would only have supported your position more.
I pulled a 12k 5er with a 5.9L Cummins in a 2007 3500 SRW and then the same 5er with a 2014 Ram 2500 with the 6.4L Hemi. The Cummins got 10-12 mpg and the 6.4L Hemi got 7-9 mpg with the same load.
