Home Forums Gear Hunting Trucks and Four-Wheel Drives towing with a Hemi

I know times have changed, and power is easy to get today.
And an engine brake is nice.


But those who would say a 6.4 Hemi is light for 12,000 pounds.
You all are either young, or lack knowledge of what used to move freight in this country.
And yes, freight. Not a play trailer, but up to 73,280 pounds.
Yes, even in your big bad western mountains.
With no engine brake, and crappy brakes.


The Hemi is roughly comparable to the Ford 534.
One of the "Big Dogs" of the day.
