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

In my area, which is rolling hills and some decent "hills", I get 17-18 highway mpg's unloaded if I keep it under 70mph. 6.4 3500 SRW with 3:73's
Same truck but 2500 I get 14-15 with mixed city/hwy. I'm guessing you have less stop/go than me. I've noticed stop/go and idling REALLY kill the mpgs with the 6.4. Also, my area is on winter fuel which seems to hurt me 1-2 mpg. I'm still super happy with the mpg of the truck. 10 years ago an HD gas truck would have been in the 8-10 range for the same conditions (Chevy 8.1, Ford or Ram V10).
