I am looking at an '07 1500, 5 speed, 5.7l V8 SLT, 3.73 axle ratio with only 18,000 miles.
I have a 6000 lbs travel trailer I run on hills and Highway.
My questions, am I better off getting a '13 or newer Hemi 6 speed, 3.55 axle ratio? Is there a huge difference in 5 speed vs 6 speed when towing hills or highway?
Ultimately I know there's only about a $3k difference but, is the added cost really worth it when the '07 has such low miles?
And finally, am I asking the right questions?
Thanks for responding.
