The Hemi seems weak by todays' monster diesel standards but we all used to have big block gas trucks years ago with much less power and we thought they were great. Heck they had more power than the early pickup diesels did.
25 years ago, 200-something HP was the strongest pickup option you had.
I went all over with my big block duallies with an 11.5 camper and 10,000 pound trailer behind. It wasn't fast uphill but it got there.
At about 5 to 7 MPG.
The Hemi will carry your camper and tow a heavy trailer, you'll take a beating on resale though. If/when gas goes back up to $4/gallon that truck will be nearly unsaleable.If/when gas goes back up to $4/gallon that truck will be nearly unsaleable.
...and it will. Won't always be cheap like it is now...
