Towing with Dodge 6.4
Anyone have towing experience with towing with the Dodge with the 6.4 engine? I'd be towing an 8000 trailer,and was wondering how well they pull,up hills and such. Thank you

One of the last times I was out I rolled through the scales at around 17,000# (truck + tt) and up over the cascade mountain range here in Oregon (about 4500' elevation) and it was no problem. I could pull it at just whatever speed I wanted to. 2nd gear revs about 3500rpm @ 60mph which is right at the heart of the power. The 4.10 gears would probably be closer to 4,000rpm but will have a bit better low end. Again the diesel would have done it at 2,000rpm but the Hemi sounds great :)
The 6.4L / 4.10 combo will do just over 70 mph in 2nd gear at 5500 RPM. I forget what the RPMs are at 60 mph, but it would be in second if you hold it to the floor, but you're probably close when you say about 4000 RPM.
