I towed with a 89 Chev van with a 305 and it was gutless, Towed with my 3.9 Dakota same load and felt powerful, used a 03 Ram with the 4.7 and discovered how miss geared the Dakota is for towing 5000# Hills aside the 4.7 really wasent that much more powerful. How powerful you think it is I think will have more to do with past expirence then anything. Whats really intresting is the 8spd might be nice in the city with a load and I bet ram will sell meny since Ford is doing well with the ecoboost and to be honest the turbo in the ford must inflate the purchase price and repair bills.

I was really interested in the 3.6 engine until I found on the ram site that they are only available in a STD cab. Or am I reading that wrong?

My understanding is that the RC V-6 is an attempt to get the fuel mileage average up for the government standards. In the RC properly geared it might be OK for flat regions but I wouldn't want one here in West PA and down into WV where I travel. A manual trans would be an improvement as well.

The v6 should be available in 4door Tradesman, ST, SLT, and Outdoorsman.
