Towing with Ram 2500, either 5.7 or 6.4 engine

We are going from diesel back to gasser and I will stick with a Ram 2500. We tow all over the West which, of course, means lots of mountains to climb so I would like the power and payload of the 6.4...

Ram 6.4L doesn't have 900 pounds lower payload than 5.7L. Diesel does.


Get the 6.4L. There won't be any measurable fuel consumption difference, but you'll always feel the power. That includes more power in 4-cyl mode too.
