Payload capacity 3130 tow capacity 12,850 same truck in diesel version you loose 800 to 1000 lb payload capacity due to weight of engine . For me & where we tow it was a no brainer to go with the 6.4 Hemi Ram. 10k less upfront cost & the maintenance expense of owning a new diesel vehicle wasn't worth it . Here in the Texas Hill country diesel goes for 40 cents more a gallon . We tow a 12,000 lb 34 ft Montana 5th wheel with zero issues
Mike, You list your location as Galveston. How does Galveston (FLAT FLAT FLAT) get into the Texas Hill Country? Just curious....
