Big Daddy what led you to a 2500 5.7L over 6.4L or Cummins? I have considered going this route as well because I do need heavy hauling from time to time but don't haul 10k plus on regular basis.
Well sir because at the time there wasn't any 6.4L out or too many in a matter of fact the dealer still don't have too many after talking with the salesman he said that they haven't gotten too many in.
I guess that it's wasn't too popular with the dealership, so I ask myself a question since it's just the wife and I we really didn't need the 6.4L and plus I had to hurry up and get something since I was retiring and now is.
The cummins was a over kill for us and since that we really didn't care it. The 5.7L tow everything what we need and when we get a travel trailer we can get a pretty good one. I love it and am glad I went with the 2500, the coil spring on this is awesome.
As you know that the 2014 2500 Hemi with the 3.73 gears payload is about 2,300 and the towing is 11,050 which I don't understand because when I got it the towing was 11,400. I'm please with it and the gas mileage is about 11 to 12 around town and on the highway I get about 15 to 16.
