Hi Steve, My opinion is... I just traded in April for a 2023 Ram with the 5.7 HEMI.. Last year for it.. If you are trading in, I would spend the extra and get the 5.7. My cousin has a 2023 with the v6 and it's pretty good on fuel, but I don't think it would do as well towing compared to the big boy..Forgot to add, if you can find one.. should have no problem.. The dealer knocked off over 14k being a 23.
