Well when I bought my 2004 ram QC with the 5.7 Hemi I was a little worried about what it would be like pulling. Well I pulled my boat this weekend about a 500 mile round trip. WOW THAT THING HAS POWER. The road was a road that went up and down the entire way. I can't beleive how good it pulled the boat, only thing bad is I only got 12 MPG but I kinda expected that.

Just wanted to let you all know what I thougt and if anyone has anything they added to help with fuel when pulling would be great.

 

how big of a boat? i wouldn't worry about hauling unless i was hauling my boss' cement trailer which weighs 12,000 pounds.

 

Good to hear.I have a 21 foot camper that weighs about 4800 lbs and cant wait to hook it up and see how it follows behind the Hemi.I used to pull it with a 02 GMC Sierra with the 327 in it and that pulled it ok,just had to hammer it to get up the bigger hills.

 

You will love how it pulls, I pulled my boat for the first time a couple weeks ago. I had a 2000 Ram with the 5.2L and you knew that you were pulling something with it. The 5.7 Hemi doesn't even know that it is pulling anything. I pulled through back roads with lots of curves and hills and it was like nothing was behind me.

 

becareful, Rams pull chicks like that too... my wife hates it

 

ditto and confirmed, god i love being in college.
