2013 Ram Engine
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.
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.
