Dont have a paid membership right now so this is the link to the dealer page. The listed price is with all available incentives, some of which I did not qualify for. But still got a price close to it.

MonkeySea2, if you are looking at towing around 8k, you can easily look at half ton trucks which will be a lot cheaper and ride better. I think everybody has half tons that tow around 10k pounds easily.

Obnoxus, yes, the 6.0 would tow my boat as it is rated at 14.5k. I can also get a Ram with the 6.4 that will tow 15k lbs. The big concern is that they will get horrible gas mileage. I was reading reviews online where people were only getting about 10 to 11 miles per gallon with the 6.0. The Ram boys claim better at around 13 to 14. Thats combines city highway. Problem with the gassers, you need the 4.10 gears for those tow rates. And when I can possibly get a Cummins powered Ram for the same price as a 6.0 Chevy, its hard to pass up. I will admit the styling was nice on the chevy. But I am partial to the Mega Cab for space and comfort.

As for towing, Most trips will be local. We will tow the boat to Lake Erie from Pittsburgh a couple times a year. We have also towed it to Florida and hope to do more trips in the future. We also do at least one trip to the Outer Banks a year. So we do some long runs.
