    First heavy tow with the hemi (15k)

    Well well, a aired the tires up and went to my folks to test tow the gooseneck trailer with the tractor loaded. The trailer, loaded with 5075 JD tractor and a 7 ft brushwacker attached weighs right at 15k. My truck is a 2019 bighorn 6.4 hemi with 3.73 gears. I drove a twisty tight little 2 lane...

    8 speed complaint

    To be frank, the tow haul mode is not aggressive enough. I really wish it would hold gears longer and down shift more aggressively when braking on the downhill bits. Things like driving around in town and slowing down at a red light, I find myself waiting on it to downshift to give some engine...

    6.4 changes

    Besides the obvious 8 speed, were there any other changes to the motor? I know hp and torque values are the same. Is the gear hold "feature " that sucked on the ike gauntlet still around in the new generation? Oddly it seems like the stock exhaust note on the 2019+ is more aggressive.

    Equipment 5er and ccsb

    Interested in the 6.4, which years?

    I think I am set on a 6.4 RAM 2500 4x4. I am still considering a new Titan XD gas still haven't driven one. My previous Titan was dead nuts reliable and a blast to drive. I need a truck to tow a 10k tractor and trailer to the deer lease 4x a year. Otherwise it will be a daily driver, 4 miles...
