2015 Ram 2500 with the 6.4 Hemi. Still have yet to pull with it but I know it will be a great improvement stability wise. Didn’t really need to go from a 1500 to a 2500 but have been eye balling them for a while now. Probably won’t even be able to tell the passport 239ml is behind me with the 2500 but will be great to have

Congrats! What gears do you have, I had a 2016 6.4L Hemi with the 4.10 gears?

Thanks guys! It has the 3.73 gears. 4.10 gears are probably the one option I wish it had.
Going from 3.55 and 5.7 in the 1/2 ton should still be quite the difference.

The 6.4 w/3.73 will pull that trailer like a dream. Just traded one off. Off hand I think you will still have the 6 speed tranny but that trailer won't strain you at all....and, the stability will be SO much better. 3.55 w/5.7? I had that. The 6.4 combo will be far better. With that combo you didn't need, or want, the 4.10. Just bought a 19 3500 w/6.4, 4.10 and 8 speed. It sounds like my old hot rod with a 4 speed close ratio and 4.10? (4.56?). The shifts just keep hitting...thankfully there are 8 or I might run out about 65 mph.
