Sticking to gas…..any input on trusting reliability for the 6.4 Hemi vs the Chevy 6.0, vs towing, mileage, etc? My son is looking at ‘04-‘06.5 Chevy Duramax trucks, but I don’t think I have a true need for diesel OR something else to work on…..just occasional 2500/3500 tow capability and ease of maintenance/drive ability.
I can only comment on my cousins as far as Rams go. He had a 2016 that the company took back because of a bad engine and replaced it with a 2018. He had to put a new transmission in that one last year. Both in 6.4 Hemi. He has an early 2000s 3/4-ton GMC with the 6.0 that is still running that he passed onto his son. And just got a new Chevy 1 ton with the 6.6. He will not buy another Ram. I had a 2000 GMC 3/4 ton with the 6.0 that just ran and ran until my wife rolled it on icy roads in 2017.
Milage on my 6.0 was 12-13 with 265/75R16s and I could tow 4 ton of hay with confidence. The most I tried with it.
