I don't have any experience with a Hemi. My dad has a 5.7 hemi in a half ton. Pretty impressive engine. I did have a standard cab half ton Dodge with a 5.9 V-8, automatic transmission, and a 3.92 to 1 rear end ratio. I pulled a 26.5 foot long travel trailer with that truck and it handled it pretty good. I had to borrow a quad cab half ton Dodge with the same 5.9 V-8, automatic transmission, equipped with probably a 3.55 to 1 rear end ratio. That truck handled that same trailer better, probably because the truck was a bit heavier, more stable, and perhaps the wheelbase might have been a bit longer. The 2002 had plenty of power pulling that trailer, which had an empty weight of around 5800 pounds. I suspect we probably had close to 1000 pounds of added weight with our belongings. I have also pulled a 5000 to 6000 pound tractor on a flatbed trailer behind these trucks as well. This pulled easier on account of much less wind resistance. I don't know how heavy your tractors and your trailer might be. I did look and find the tow rating on a 2500 with a 6.4 Hemi and 4.10 to 1 rear end ratio in the 2014 model year was 15,500 pounds. Cannot answer your question on mileage, though.

Today's Featured Article - Box Plow Blues - by Tom Schwarz. One of the first implements most tractor owners obtain is the box plow. For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
