I find it amazing how many people put down gassers some are just have almost as much hp as an ten year old diesel did rolling off the showroom floor.
My current 2019 Ram 6.4l 8 speed 2500 would pull, carry, handle, stop and provide comfort in ways that my 7.3L PSD 1 ton could never do. And that 7.3L was able to haul 10-12k lb trailers all over the country under any conditions. I feel extremely confident that this new gasser will do an amazing job.
