@99dodgeram360 yea it does great!! believe me or not but sometimes while towing our camper, the engine will drop from 8 cylinder to 4 to save gas! if yur plannig on gettin a new hemi, get a 07-present Hemi, the reason im saying this is cuz the new hemi's have a MDS (Multi Displacement System) which cuts 4 of the 8 cylinders to save gas and money at the pump!!
I wouldn't get MDS for truck mainly because it is useless for a truck weighting this heavy. Only time it will go into 4 cylinder mode is that you cruising on FLAT lands. Most people will disable MDS and got much better fuel mileage running FULL v8. Go on dodge forum and do research. I personally own a 04 ram hemi.
@ABrick2009 yea my dad was, the seat belt light indicator is between the tachometer and speedometer, while I was in back filming without a seat belt on lol
DodgeRamFan11 > '.. MPG's .. a Ram .. will get towing ..'
Actually, the video only shows the miles per gallon while accelerating sharply ('pedal to the metal,' as you put it) with a load. The miles per gallon while towing is an average (accelerating, cruising, coasting downhill, etc) over several miles. That will change somewhat based on the average terrain (amount of hills, flat areas, stops, etc) over those miles.
@abram7117 the camper ways about 6,500 loaded but we took a lot of stuff out cuz it was gettin close to the end of fall so, im guessin it probably weighed about 4,000 maybe???
@misder1 yea i know, this was for a school project lol
