I currently have a 14 Big Horn Hemi.
Looking at a 17 BH eco. Sticker is 51,800. The deal with my $2k trade equity is $40k out the door.
My concern is will I miss the pep of the Hemi.
I also have a car and trailer that is 5k lbs that I tow. Hoping to get better mileage with the eco.
Thoughts?

You will definitely get better mileage but I cannot compare the pep! I tow 5000 lbs all the time and love the ED.
I also have a BigHorn with 3.92 rear axle

Welcome! The Hemi is a little quicker for sure, but the diesel torque is fun as well. The fuel mileage is great, and you'll see a improvement towing as well.

Decided not to but it. I really want a Laramie and the rebates just aren’t high enough.

I owned a 2016 Laramie EcoDiesel, loved it. Totaled it in Dec. Now I'm looking at a 2017 Limited. The dealer says there is a $1000 Owner Loyalty Coupon that I can get but he can't give it to me. Does anybody know where I can come by one?
Thanks, Mike

Wow the incentives are $2500 more out there. They have the exact truck I want but it doesn’t have 3.92 gears

I spent some time looking for 3.92's after I changed Tire size, I felt the 3.92's would handle the extra load better and allow the transmission to function as normal. It's sure not a cheap find. Tried looking Used as well as aftermarket for gearsets for both differentials, was pretty ridiculous. I just tough it out and don't see 8th gear as much as I used to
