Get the 8spd.....this 6spd sucks. Its my biggest gripe on the truck. With the right gearing the 6.4 could be a beast. But I think its pretty lame unless you keep the rpms high. The 8spd would be great.

Not sure what the problem is with the 6 speed? I have 2018 with 6.4 and carry a 2500 lb truck camper and have no issues at all.
Have you driven both back to back? I’ve been looking at a lot of trucks lately.
I drove a low optioned Big Horn at a not so local dealer and loved it. The interior is much improved over the 4th gen trucks. The 8 speed was awesome and really wakes the big Hemi up.
My local dealer has a nicely optioned 2018 Laramie 3500 with the 6.4 and it is heavily discounted. I drove it and honestly, it wasn’t bad at all. The trans was way better than any 4 speed, but no where near as nice as the 8 speed.
The biggest take away for me was comparing interiors and transmission. The 2019 Bighorn was as nice, if not a touch nicer, than the 2018 Laramie. That along with the much nicer transmission makes the 2019 worth it to me.
The biggest problem is finding a nicely optioned gas truck. They all seem to be diesel.
