I thought that compensated for the Quads coming with a auto tranny. It
probably takes that 5 hp to operate it. The 4.7 has 235 hp but the torque
just isn't the same. If you look at the dodge homepage, you'll see a hp /
torque curve and the 5.9 has torque that's about the same all the way
across. The 4.7, the torque goes up a bit, then tapers off. It's
sufficient for towing, but the 5.9 has that extra pull needed for heavier
loads.
