An automatic would be a very good option for this truck, as the factory clutch sure isn't up to dealing with a 5150lb truck.

Go to SRT10forum and check out the posts on the clutch issue. It is looking like about anyone who drives these trucks aggressively is burning up their clutch, which in turn is causing heat damage to the flywheel also.

1 guy has 3 Ram SRT-10's. All three of them have been through clutches already. 1 truck has been through 1, 1 truck has been through 2, and the other has been through 3. This is all in less than 1000 miles per truck. He also says that the 3 trucks are tuned totally different. 1 is much faster than the other 2, 1 handles better, and the other is the most comfortable to drive.

At this point, it looks like the clutch/transmission is probably the biggest reason that the truck cannot tow.
