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

What mpg could one expect unloaded/no trailer at interstate speeds (75-80 mph)?
Follow-up from a question I posed earlier.
I just got done with a test drive of a Ram 2500 Big Horn Megacab with the 6.4 Hemi and 3.73 gears. No wind. On our interstate going 75 mph the computer read 13 mpg. Salesman said that should go up by at least 2 after it is broken in..??
Did you push the reset? It's probably still reading the overall city mpg. My 12 CTD will do the same. If I'm driving around town it'll show 11.5-12. Hit the freeway and it'll take a long time to recalc to the current mpg. Hit the reset once on the freeway and you'll get an instant reading for the current mph. It'll still take a bit to level out. For me it seems like about 5-10 miles and it's locked in.
With that being said I doubt you'll be getting anything great @75mph.
