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 - Show Coverage: Godfrey, Illinois Country Days - by Cindy Ladage. Except for last fourth of July's Old Gold show in Springfield, Illinois, I don't remember when it was so hot. Nevertheless, the heat didn't keep vendors and visitors alike from enjoying the third annual Country Day's Event. Jane Elliott said the event was originally a one man show. "Barry Seiler, owner of Country Town Farm Supply store used to invite people up to the Johne Deere store. He would give hats and a free meal for everyone that brings a tractor." Elliott said while this
