I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised with the 3.6L. I have a 2018 BigHorn with the tier two trim, CC, 4X4 with the Pentastar and for my needs it’s been a fantastic truck. Like you I rarely tow and when I do it’s a small uhaul trailer or my sisters two jet skis which it handles just fine. The 3.6 is not a tow vehicle but light duty on occasion won’t give you any grief. It’s relatively peppy with the 8 speed and it’s quiet and smooth. It gets decent mpg, has good payload and relatively trouble free. Enjoy your new truck!Well I am sure I will get ribbed for this but I pulled the trigger on the Ram 1500 3.6l outdoorsman this afternoon. I absolutely love it so far and am very happy with my purchase. It has all the bells and whistles that I wanted and them some. It will fit all my needs perfectly. I will live with it's towing characteristics the 1-3 times a year I need it.
