It won't, even with the "new" 8 speed in the Hemi, it was still poor in power and MPG. The only 1/2 ton that can hang with the Ecoboost 3.5 is the 6.2 GM truck. Power everywhere on the Ecoboost and while it doesn't have the sweet sound of a 5.0 but it's got the power for day to day usage and doing work. We tow a 9900lb camper with ours and the old 6 speed and it will pass stuff going up hill. It pulls like a freight train no matter what's going on. No turbo lag and just that power everywhere that a Diesel has without the nonsense of a Diesel
There's a reason Ford and GM sell the most of them, Ram brings up the rear and the rest are nonexistent. When your business relies on vehicles you tend to buy what is reliable, hence #1 and #2.
