if I was looking for a new gas 3/4 ton I'd be looking very hard at the Hemi/Dodge...early reports have the highway milege way better than the other brands , and the engine is designed for the torque to hang on at much lower rpms than the others
I wouldn't put much stock in that towing *test* mentioned no one in the real world drag races their pickup uphill with a loaded trailer
what I want to know is how well the engine lugs in high gear when climbing a hill at highway speed , or maybe if you drop one gear or 2 on a real big hill
having been around a number of 6 liter Chevys I can say they suck in that respect , even on a modest hill with a 4 horse trailer you will be in second gear with the motor screaming at five grand
supposedly the 6.2 Ford likes a lot of rpm s too
