You mean until another Dodge pulls up next to you and it has the big C from Cummins on it

I have a 24ft pontoon boat, about 5000lbs w/ trailer. Loaded for a week of camping my 4.7 will pull ok, just ok, works the hell out of the trans on any kind of small hill. If I had it do do over I'd go with at least the Hemi, but the CTD would be my first choice. Why be sorry later?, get the CTD.

I am towing a 21' fish/ski boat. I live on top of a steep Mt. and I pull it up hill without breaking a sweat. I did tow it with a Ram 5.2 and 5.9 both worked to get it up the hill but the Hemi speeds up the hill.
