OK, so even if you look at the "best" setup for each, you still wind up with the CTD having a 200 lbs higher GVWR and a 3000 lbs higher GCWR.
Since Dodge only has 1 manual transmission available, I went to the autos. There is a seperate auto for the CTD and Hemi, so I'd guess that each is optimized for it's target engine. Right?
Hemi with 4.10 RE and 5 speed auto = 8800 GVWR and 17000 GCWR.
CTD with 3.73 RE and 4 speed auti = 9000 GVWR and 20000 GCWR.
