New Truck
We got a new Ram 2500 with a 6.4 Hemi, 373 rear end. I have all ways had Ford's but I want a gas motor because we do not go out much with are Jayco 29RKS. I all so drive it as my daily driver.
I am going to hook up this weekend and pull the 5th wheel for the first time.

Hey hotrod,
That's a nice looking truck, my tastes run more to the Blue Oval but it's still a nice truck! I'm proud for 'ya. Enjoy!
What you going to pull with it?

Nice rig - I love my Ram - the 5 .7 has no problem pulling my TT. I think you will be happy with it.

I literally almost traded in my truck for that truck the other day! DW talked me off the ledge... for now...

Let us know how it does, I'm VERY interested in how the Ram with the 6.4 Hemi will do...

Did Ford stop making gasoline engines? I haven't been looking at them lately so maybe I'm out of the loop.

Ford offers the 3.5L, 3.7L, 5.0L and the 6.2L gassers in their trucks.

I've been looking at them for awhile, really like the F-350 with the 6.7L diesel.
