First tow with the 6.4 Hemi today. Made about a 300 mile tow from Billings MT to the top of the Bighorn Mountains and back, pulling a 4 place enclosed snowmobile trailer. I don't know the exact weight, but I'm guessing about 8000lbs roughly. For those that don't know the area, lots of hills all the way to the base of the mountains, and then a steep mountain climb from about 3900ft to about 8000ft. Here's my takeaway.
1. The engine is more than capable
2. The transmission shifting under load is smooth as silk
3. Those 429 ponies are REALLY FREAKING THIRSTY!!!
4. HOLY CRAP THOSE RPM's!!!
