Question for Ram 6.4 Hemi owners
I'm contemplating getting a 6.4, I have an '02 Ford with the 7.3 diesel. It has a DP 60hp tuner and I get 11.9 mpg towing 10,000 lb 5th wheel from MI to FL. I now will tow 13.000 lb. In '14 they said ...

Holy Smokes, I weighed Cherry this afternoon ready to tow for our trip South, minus 1/2 tank of diesel and 5 gals of spare diesel. So about another 160-170 pounds to be added.
And it weighed 8900 lbs Front axle was 5140 and rear axle was 3760. So rear axle has 3240 of remaining capacity and GVWR 2800 pounds. Both minus the missing fuel weight.
So with a mid size 29 foot trailer I am going to max out a SRW 3500!
I will try to weigh the whole thing while passing thru Oregon, as they leave their scales available when unmanned.
I am heavier than the GVWR of the old 2001.5 without even hooking up to the trailer.
