I thought I read somewhere that the Hemi was tested to some crazy amount of running hours under load at high RPM's without missing a beat. I pulled. 31' trailer with my 1500 hemi and 3.92 gears all over the place around here (we have mass hills) and I was not afraid at all to run it at 4k up every hill. That was never the problem. However the 31' trailer and wind was not to mention the mileage, it really sucked it down on the hills. The crazy part is that it isn't some 32 valve wild design engine. It is a 16 valve push-rod motor and it makes tons of power for it's size and even more now.
You are correct, there is an attraction to the low RPM power, it is nice to cruise up hills and even on the really steep ones at 22-2400 rpm's (I know guys that spin them higher) but my package just doesn't need it. The hemi will move a load if given the chance.
