Towing with Hemi 6 speed manuel
Just bought a 08 Hemi 6 speed manual and wondered if anyone else is towing with this combo. Towing around 10k.

I have towed a small fifth wheel (maybe 8500lb?) with a dodge 2500, 360v-8, 5 speed 3.55 rear. It handled the weight just fine, but I really wished I had 4.10 or 4.30 rear end. The truck was a regular cab long bed , 2wd, with the rv package suspension. Other than the lack of power, it was perfect. I could turn that fifth wheel around on a dime!
This was before I met the weight police, I didn’t know about payload or anything like that. I liked the camper, bought the camper cheap, slapped a gooseneck adapter that I bought used on there and hit the road! I’d just put it in fourth and hold it on the floor till time to slow down.
If I saw the truck you are talking about come up for sale in my area for a reasonable price, I may jump on it. Maybe not for a tow vehicle, but just something to drive around.
