Well I'm back from my trip.Although my new tuck is way more comfortable and alot more roomy inside than my Dodge was I think the Dodge with the 5.7 Hemi pulled my camper way better.Dont get me wrong the new truck did good but the Hemi seemed to have more get up and go.I did get much better gas mileage with the 6.2 is was getting around 10.5 towing.I'm sure some people are going to disagree but this was my experiance.
