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

Also, re mpg reports on this thread or other threads, it would be helpful to everyone if mileage figures were accompanied by how calculated -- hand-calculated or digital read-out in the TV. Personally, I'm only interested in hand-calculated figures and pay no attention to vehicle computer generated numbers, and I also ignore the numbers if method of calculation is not disclosed.
My 5.7l, over 3k hand calculated, is at an overall average of 15.6 MPG. Towing I am 9.5 - 10.2 MPG, including one two up to Big Bear Mountain.
I calculate by hand, write the mileage on the back of the receipt and enter into Excel. I fill up at the start of a tow and fill up right after disconnecting the trailer to get accurate tow numbers.
Yes, DW tells me all the time that sometimes I have too much geek in me! :D
