What are your guy's thoughts on the newer Rams or Durangos with the Pentastar V6 and 8-speed transmission? Do you think that would be up to do the task or would a 5.7L Hemi be better? There are quite a bit of pre-owned Ram 1500's on the dealer lots. The only problem with the newer trucks is I'm going to have to trade in my daily driver (currently getting 24-25 mpg combined - rated at 26 combined) so I'll be losing about 5-6 mpg using the truck as a daily driver. If gas gets to $4/gallon like it did a couple of years ago, I'll be miserable and will probably have to buy a Dodge Neon to replace it for daily driver duties. Lol.

Here's an example of one. 5.7L hemi and 8-speed Quad Cab with 22, 000 miles on the clock.
