Have '06 Dodge 2500 Laramie, 120kmi., gas 5.7, 5 speed auto, 3.73 gears: gets about 13mpg as daily driver. Haven't put it on typical 8500# tag trailer as I'd scream when I read the mileage. Transmission is very good, but still seems like it will bog on 5-8% grades, even with transmission locked out. Also have '04 Cummins 3500 SLT dually, 6 manual, 3.73 gears, 188kmi.: with trailer at 8500#, it gets ~16mpg, will pull same hills in 6th and maintain speed, gets about 18.2 empty under same conditions as gasser. Draw your own conclusions, but I think the 5.7 gas is way over glamorized while the diesel pulls with "authority". Will be replacing the '06 with '04 thru '07 5.9 Cummins 2500/auto as one becomes available. These are my observations, based on my trucks, under my driving onditions. Good luck on your decision.
