No comparison between my heavy duty 2014 2500 and a 2004 Durango.
True for the most part but the engine itself isn't much different. My 2004 has the 5spd auto, I believe yours has the 6spd auto. Both are good but the 6spd is more robust for towing. It should hold up fine. My 2007 Ram 2500 has the 6spd and I now have 120,000 miles on it with no issues.
