I had a 2000 Ram 4.7L and it was ok unloaded, but even unloaded it was lucky to get 14 MPG. With a open car trailer, it would tow it, but the transmission would search for a gear quite a bit when going up hill. I wouldn't recommend the 4.7 for towing. If you can't get a diesel, at least get the 5.7L Hemi



Curious...Are you sure it was a 2000 model? I thought the 4.7 was first installed in the full size trucks for the new body style in 2002.
