I will be holding on to my 2022 5.7 hemi love the power response and just the sheer sound of that rumbling v8 makes me a happy man
I’m with ya on that! Just got a new 2024 hemi before there’s no more! Borla coming soon because it maybe the last time I get to enjoy a V8 sound
I have a 2019 Hemi, and am going to hold onto it for as long as I can. Nothing beats a V8.
Amen brother
Same here. I got a 23 and I'm going to put a nice exaust on it and enjoy it as long as I can.
Nothing beats a V8 - except for all these turbo charged engines (hurricane, ecoboost, etc) that beat it all day long in every category. I say that as a 5.7 hemi owner.
@Lq32332 Yeah except for reliability and durability, also if the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 is so good then why did Ford use the 6.8L and 7.3L Godzilla V8s in the Super Duty as base gas engines and not the 3.5L EcoBoost V6?
@@CJColvin Ah yes the 5.7 Hemi with its reliable exhaust manifolds and lifters. I’m not against a V8 (my daily is a Ram 5.7) but I’m not sure a V8 from 2009 with consistent weaknesses is going to perform better than a clean sheet inline 6 with modern technology.
truck prices are insane, these trucks need to be 40 grand max, if they want to sell numbers
A 400 HP naturally aspirated HEMI should’ve been an option on 2025 models.
Hemi is being discontinued unfortunately
Emissions
@@dirtbagliberalsnake5729 Tax Emissions charge it to the customer as before!
@@Kliffy77 Yes, we need more taxes, lol. 😂
It'll come back
I know that the 6 has more power, but I'm sticking with my V8 till the wheels fall off.
Only because they're pushing it to its limit.
Only people buying the hurricane are the people who've never had the v8 Hemi. It's just not the same truck anymore.
I have a Hemi and after test driving a Hurricane I have no problem going to a i6
Once my Hemi tick starts and my manifold cracks it’s getting traded for a Hurricane.
Muffler deleted 24 ram hemi. It’s glorious
Muffler deletes.... Another name for small penis complex
I have a 2014 Hemi Longhorn and I'm keeping it. It's smooth and unbelievably fast!. GREAT VEHICLE!!
Same here!
Me too. There is no replacement for displacement.
I want to see the Hurricane in the Grand Cherokee, Gladiator and Wrangler! The should have carried over the Hemi for a few more years. I don’t see adding the Hurricane to the Ram is going to increase sales it may actually do the opposite as the Ram guys love the Hemi and will not be wanting to be the first on the new turbo charged engine.
Grand Cherokee most unreliable car out there
@@ScottS-gc3wknot true
Absolutely! Since the 392 is just insane the Jeep has always be longing for a motor to keep up with the bigger tires and gearing. An inline is great, a twin turbo inline is perfect!
I own a 2016 ram and have owned multiple turbo cars also, my ram took an L by eating up its cam, did everything to prevent it, the hemi is old it’s design is old school, it’s time to let it retire, I would love to buy an inline 6 twin turbo engine in the body of a Ram.
You right 👍🏾
I knew i saw the 2025 test truck rolling down I20 with a camper. Like the front end, but let's just watch the sales hit the floor as they get rid of the hemi.
I am noyt sure if anyone noticed, but the color for the mileage was green in the new Hurricane and white in the Hemi. Psychological impact to being greener.
scew their green my srt8 2009 challenger gets 25 mpg on the highway.
@@MultiSmurf67 lololololols, your 2009 SRT8 challenger might be a rebadge 6 cylinder.
Hemi = 14.5 mpg & Hurricane = 13.2 mpg . Certainty not what i expected in a 6 cyl vs a V8 🤔
6 cylinder needs to work harder.
Remember both vehicles are brand new and are not broken in yet. Hurricane when broken in will get better fuel economy than a Hemi
Indeed. Both vehicles need ro be driven more and the test should include more mileage.
@@brandonruhl1639I hope you’re right, considering getting the hurricane.
@@cali8059 I’m right, as even the new Jeep compass wasn’t getting that good of mpg on the reviews but mine since break in is getting way better mpg then what they got
The Hurricane is NOT better. They could’ve made a V8 with the same HP and torque. Hurricane was developed directly by Stellantis and they are not known for reliability. The Hemi and Hellcat were developed by Chrysler rather than Stellantis and they are simplistic and proven.
Nothing beat's a turbo till it breaks down, I bet these new engines will break way more then the Hemi.
That's my concern like u on a family trip away from home and 1 turbo or both go out and than u just have a 3 liter v6 with like 90hp lmao. But I guess u could just call a tow truck.
Don't forget the infamous hemi tick tick tick
Facts 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
As long as you keep the oil changed and coolant flushed like we are supposed to the turbo will last a long time.
@@jaredbaker5510replaced a few lifters and cams on my 2012 1500 and my 2017 2500 with the 6.4
Simple uncomplicated V8 anyday over the new complex highly stressed tiny 6.
Inline 6 is inherently less complex. Low stressed as it was designed from the ground up for boost. Would you call the Cummins high stressed?
I say this as a 5.7 hemi owner. People obsess over cylinder count like it’s your pp length or something.
@@Lq32332 Inline six by itself maybe but add turbos and it gets very complex.
@@Lq32332 This tiny 6 is WAY more complex than the V8 its replacing, and its no where near as heavily built as the Cummins 6. Do some research.
@@gabrielback5615 where did I say the Hurricane would be as built as the Cummins? The Hurricane is 3.0 L vs 6.7 L… My point was the inline 6 design is very stout and uncomplicated. The Hemi it is replacing has many known reliability issues like lifters and exhaust manifolds. FYI any V configuration is inherently more complicated than an inline one.
@@Lq32332the hurricane is significantly more complex than the Hemi. It is a DOHC setup first of all. It has tons of timing components(chains, tensioners, camshaft phasers and electronics). The turbos are integrated into the cylinder head. So when that turbo fails it’ll be super expensive. Direct injection is another problem. These engines have carbon deposit problems. Most manufacturers implement a dual system with port injection washing away the deposits. Dodge did not do this. Finally, PLASTIC! This engine is built with waaaaay too many plastic components. I will enjoy hearing about all the issues with them.😂
Can't wait until your review of the TRX vs the new RHO when they release it.
Better or not no dipstick I am not buying. Engineers need to stop taking the basic options from us to maintain the engine. If you have a major problem you would have to drain the oil to see if there is gas or coolant in the oil.
At 10:22 that damn Subaru was about to turn into the stopped cars on the opposite lane.🤣🤣
They were just trying not to scrape when they pulled out
@@Drg24800 hell of a way to avoid it
typical Subaru drivers :D
I’ll keep my 2020 4X4 crewcab Ram with the Hemi NON etorque and 3:92 rear axle. It just turned 36,000 miles and it’s almost paid off! I hate a stop/start feature on a truck.
New is nice but title in hand is Great! And the old adage of never buy anything the first year is an understatement! Love my Ram and I’m keeping it!
At 36,000 miles in 5 years, tells me you don't use your truck at all. I own a 2022 ram 3500 which is paid for and I have 150,000 miles on it. I do use my truck as it was intended, a work horse.
@@bajaboy27 ya well just over 4 years and we’re retired. I use it hauling wood, pavers and anything else I need and if the wood I need is too long I use my trailer. Home projects mostly. Rebuilt my kitchen and hauled all the cabinets. Glad you get use out of your truck. And I’m glad mine has low miles and has done everything I need given the prices of new trucks today. I’m happy with it.
@@TheNewenglandboys yes most definitely trucks are expensive. I bought mine cash $62K in 2021, my brother in law bought one just like mine same color and trim(except his is the HO and it's not 4x4)in 2023 financed total price was $103K with $1,400 monthly payments 😧 and he doesn't even uses it for work.
@@bajaboy27 That just seems crazy! When I bought mine I got a zero interest rate which meant keep my money earning interest.
@@TheNewenglandboys There's no such thing as zero interest. Interest it's a big part of their profit. Reason why they also don't like when people buy vehicles cash, and don't get me started on trade ins and or down payment.
So, basically they've Toyota'd the Ram with the 3.0 I-6. Exhaust note sounds...neutered. No real MPG difference and I would say emissions would be no better either. So, no real win there. They claim a whole 25 HP gain over the Hemi with the I-6, but I'd be dubious of those numbers until proven on a dyno. Just like Ford is learning with trying to force their Eco-Boost drive train into literally EVERYTHING, Ram will learn that turbo-charging a smaller displacement engine and trying to say it makes the same power and can do the same job is just not true. These engines break down OFTEN, mostly because they can't keep up with what most people expect a V8 to do. They're over-promising on the power numbers, and then gaslighting people when they keep breaking down. It's a mess.
Now, to be clear, I like new tech. The electric car market is on fire and I like all the innovation I see there. I also like ICE engines and the Hemi in my Ram does a great job. I think there's no reason it shouldn't be making more like 450-500 HP stock, but that's another discussion. I also think bolting a 10-speed transmission (vs the 8 speed) onto it would net them MPG gains while still maintaining the grunt of the Hemi V8 that people need in that truck. That said, if someone comes up with a new engine that does a better job than the Hemi in my truck, I'll be eager to give it a try. But this "hurricane" I-6 isn't it. And before anyone goes off on the "but the engine is lighter because it's an 6 cylinder vs 8," I'll save you some time, it's literally 40 lbs lighter. Literally insignificant in terms of power and performance. Deleting that ridiculous sunroof would actually net you more weight loss on that truck than the difference in weight between those two engines.
All in all, I think I'll keep my Hemi Ram a little while longer. Stellantis isn't doing anything with Ram worth looking at, and certainly not for the money they're asking. I dunno. This is my 3rd Ram. Maybe it's time for a Ford or GM truck.
TRX vs High Output. 🙏🙏🙏
It’s hard not hearing that Hemi Rumble note anymore. Hate seeing it go away.
Don't buy the new shit and they'll bring it back pretty quick
Luxury feel is probably the way lighter engine weight.
Id say keep using the gimbal. Keeps the camera a bit more steady as you're panning around outside the vehicle.
I like this footage a whole lot better than the original. This really makes us feel like we are with you and I like that! Thank you Matt for everything you do!
They should put the low and high output hurricane in the wranglers! Like yesterday. And instead of getting rid of the hemi they should have improved its power with a supercharger
There has been a huge misconception between N/A v8s vs turbo 6s . 1: Old school people tend to think the V8 produces more torque at lower rpm and that’s just not true. 2: they tend to think there’s a lot of turbo lag and that not true for modern turbo engines. 3: turbo engines don’t last and that’s just not true as they are actually built to handle the extra stress . I can’t assess to the rams but can the 5.0 Ford vs Ecoboost . The 5.0 has the noticeable v8 sound and isn’t slow by any means but the 3.5 ecoboost is faster, it builds more torque at lower rpm, not just on the spec sheet either. When accelerating with the 5.0 you’ll find you have to get it the downshift to bring the rpm’s up to make power whereas the ecoboost will likely hold the gear when you fell the boost come in . I found myself only needing part throttle to accelerate under boost when I’d have to give it more throttle to get the 5.0s transmission to downshift , it has power but it’s not as low in the rpm
A 5.0 with a 373 will take out any 3.5 with a more conservatives rear gear ratios,
Equal gears I cant say for sure...
I could be going back to Ford if I bail out of my 06 Ram 2500..
Im possibly to old school to relate the EcoBoost or the new Hurricane..
But I did test drive a ecobost with a 355 and the 5.0 with a 3.73 and the 8 cylinder won me over
I was waiting for this comparison good job Ben 👍🏻 . I think a longer trip is what’s really needed to get more accurate mpg you need to drive the new engine a little more to get used to it usually you tend to hit the accelerator a little harder after coming from a v8 at least I noticed that with my truck.
Hemi in my Challenger and that's where I'll stay.
My new Ram has more HP that my Scat Pack think about that
HEMI
It's a damn shame that the mpg isn't any better than the hemi was!!!🤯
Eco or boost Lee with these turbo engines...
@@RAM-KINGOFTRUCKS I prefer Hemi...What do you think???
@@leedanielson7452 I agree totally...give me that Hemi any day over a boosted 6.
@@leedanielson7452Hemi 😊
@@jackhammer2671 Yup!👍
No way I'm giving up my v8 for a turbo 6
I think Dodge just screwed themselves
HEMI all the way.
The new hurricane doesn’t have any oil dipstick
Really?
Yupp. Oil level sensor gives level on dash.
@@WBOS72Great, another sensor to depend on. ✌️
Putting RAM on back just looks stupid. They did that before.
I have a friend who has the grand wagoneer with the hurricane... 14.1 in town mpg. No thanks.
That new headlight design is slick!!!
Fit and finish, ride quality, and longevity are #1 with Ram. Ram will continue to dominate the job sites. These new Mopars will continue to make the haters cry. Rams are kept twice as long as fords for a reason. Just wait till you see the price of the RHO.
Ram is always at a whole other level.
Haters keep crying, and we'll keep the job sites working.
🤦♂️🤦♂️
When the economy engine is being put into a premium priced truck they have failed.
Old taillights I think is piece of art best once found on a pickup truck.
They are nice, that said mine have faded to pink after 5 years. Very expensive to replace.
I have a hemi nkthing like it.!
I’m keeping my 22 🙏🏾that hurricane 🌀 garbage
No dipstick on the hurricane engine 👎
I've read that the HEMI is recommended to put mid-grade gas into while the Hurricane runs on regular 87 octane. Anyone verify if the HEMI really "needs" that mid-grade gas to run efficiently and produce the best fuel economy? I have no previous ownership of any RAM (only ever owned Chevy trucks..) so I'd love to hear from people who own or an share their experiences with their RAM trucks! Been on the fence about buying my first RAM and I'd appreciate any input!
run regular gas all the time.... the only time I upgrade the gas to higher octane is when pulling heavy loads, makes a difference pulling a load going upgrade...
I like the extra torque of the hurricane, but time will tell if the maintenance of the turbo becomes an issue.
Im driving the hurricane as a rental while the other is getting work. Its just the base v6 but this thing gets up and goes!
I’m surprised they don’t call it a Ram f150😂 I wonder how long till they start making aluminum body panels? Ram needed to take note that Ford has the turbo 6s but they still offer the V8. Why wouldn’t Ram offer the Hemi for less $?
Same reason they dont call the tundra a T150
I drove a SST yesterday at Don Davis Chrysler Dodge Ram Jeep. I am highly impressed by the engine. I own a 2021 Ram 1500 5.7 hemi etorque. The dual turbos on the straight six has no noticeable turbo lag which confused as I gave it the beans. The truck only had 30 miles when I test drove it. It has start stop as well which is so smooth that you can't tell the engine is off. The smoothness of rhe straight six is very impressive. I am keeping my hemi and purchasing a Lonestar in 2 years by that tyme all the kinks should be worked out. I asked the mechanics at the dealership about the platform and they said so no real issues. The issues were more along the line of quality control at the factory
Don't be impressed by start-stop, cylinder deactivation, or ecotec. All that shit means death to a motor. I get it, all that to get a little bit more gas mileage, well if you have to switch up motors or vehicles because the engine died early because of that crap you didn't save a cent
Can you get a turbo charged hemi engine in a 1500 truck ?
That would be dream engine.
Chrysler is going to lose money by going with this EV and V6 crap. And that V6 rev was just sad. lol
Chrysler doesn’t own them
The ram 1500 has been looking good for a few years now, and of course the new engine sounds like crap.
Hemi needs to continue to be offered.
I'll stick with the good old Hemi
Hemi have a big camshaft lubrification design flaw. So bye bye around 200k km😢
Wonder if it will another cam and lifter issues with the hurricane like the hemi problems or will it just be more complex problems with turbochargers and intercoolers or maybe both
Hemi have a big camshaft lubrification design flaw. So bye bye around 200k km😢
@@manuelkorivu3966yeah I'll say this over and over again if you're stupid and idle it for hours at a time then yes.
That issue only presents itself in the hemis if you consistently idle it. It needs enough pressure for the oil to reach the heads. I'm not talking about idling at a stoplight I'm talking about people that get to a job and will keep the engine running for over an hour because they're too lazy to wait 20 seconds for the AC to get the truck cold again.
Ben I’ll take the Hurricane over the Chevy or GMC Engines with there DFM system
I think the best course of action is to buy another brand to be honest. I'm going to swap over to Ford.
You'll love the EcoBoost or Powerboost.
5.0 Coyote.
6.4 Hemi for me. I don't mind the I6 but give me a V8
I have a 2016 1500 and my wife has a 2023 wagoneer with the 3 liter. What I have noticed is my truck tends to over-estimate the mpg by 1 and my wife’s wagoneer under-estimates by 2-3mpg. If the trucks are the same as the wagoneer my guess is there is a 1-2 mpg difference in favor of the 3 liter. Reliability and sound aside that hurricane beats the hemi in performance and MPG.
Yeah, I don't give AF about tailpipe emissions. Hemi V8 is a solid proven engine. Why would I trade that for a V6 with turbo chargers that WILL go bad?
I dont like Teslas either but you have to give em credit. If you look closely you can tell the car stopped the driver from cutting you off.
MOPAR FAN HERE: What worries me is the complexity of components + more electronics + turbo maintenance + expensive oils + Stellantis average quality vs proven Pentastar or HEMI. THATS where the Hurricane will loose. LONG TERM Reliability.
I had a 71 hemi that got 28mpg if i stayed off the pedel, to much crap on these new engines that serve no purpose at all. I have a 2021 ram bighorn if lucky i get 19mpg. Would i buy a new Ram hell no to over priced for what you get.
63k and it has cloth seats is ridiculous.
I will take cloth over leather any day,
Hemi all day!
Get a haircut Ben😮
DOING MY PART FOR CLIMATE CHANGE... KEEPING MY 22 CERAMIC GREY WARLOCK HEMI...
Worse gas mileage and no engine oil dipstick, yea ummm big pass on the new Hurricane I6!
The sound of the new one. Yuck.
Big fan of twin turbo straight six!! Even in the 2500/3500 trucks a turbo six is the way to go
I want to like the hurricane but I love the sound and feel of a naturally aspirated V8. Plus I live closer to sea level so I wouldn’t see the altitude benefits from the turbo. I think I’ll stick with the Hemi. Good thing there’s plenty of brand new 22s, 23s, and 24s still on dealer lots.
When I get the hurricane I’m going to race every v8 truck and make them trade that gas guzzler in for a ford escort
I want buy Ram ever again. No inline 6 for me and can't even check you on oil !! They have lost 3 life-long customers, me, dad and my older bother ! Two of us has went to the 5.0 Fords so far. Dad still has his hemi for now!!
So, no towing, empty bed, a short drive with each? That's a uterly useless comparison.
Don’t worry teslas are going away soon hopefully
The fuel economy can't be compared, the Hurricane requires premium more expensive gas, the hemi doesn't. For about $5-$7K you can add on to your hemi a Turbo kit too.
I6/V6 turbo nonsense. I guess my next truck (in 10 years) will be a HD because those are the only trucks that MIGHT still be V8’s (although maybe more efficient). shitty future for trucks. Red hot turbos working hard to power heavy trucks with tiny engines. But at least the faster 0-60 times divert your attention. 🤣🔫
meh. the hemi is so popular, and getting rid of it is a bad idea. I love mine, and I'm probably gonna keep it a while longer.
Ok..Lets see about Performance Program on the Hurricane and then see what the capability will be..Definately turn off A button for Start/ Stop feature..Dont compare this to 5.0 or Ecoboost V6 Ford trucks..Ecoboost V6 weak for full size trucks.$$$ without warranty..5.0 better choice..Just for comparison..
Hi, Ben Hardy this is Jermey McGuire. My grandpa had a 2005 Ran 1500 quad cab with a 5.7 liter Hemi magnum V8 SLT.
I enjoyed riding in my grandpa’s Hemi, my grandpa is no longer with us anymore.”
My grandpa and I used to go get breakfast together every morning. I made so many memories with my grandpa In his Hemi. The Hemi is more reliable than the hurricane.”
When you started the ram 1500 Hemi it brings me back them memories I had with my grandpa, I miss him to this day
It’s not more reliable just because you’ve got memories. Inline 6s have always been the best engine due to being perfectly balanced. If ram went at this the right way that inline will be unstoppable
Awesome memories, Jermey... cherish them, my friend.
👍🏾
The memories are what counts sorry to hear about your grandfather 🙏🏾
That's the thing about small displacement turbocharged engines.... they don't actually get better fuel economy, because they beed to turn a lot more RPM to get the truck going than a bigger V8 does. Every additional RPM, is 6 more times fuel is injected into the cylinders.
So if a 5.7L HEMI is going down the highway at 80mph, it may only be turning 2,000rpm. This Hurricane will be turning closer to 3,000 rpm.
(Not exact numbers, just guesstimating to make the point).
This is amplified worse in "city" driving. The HEMI may never exceed 2500 rpm in "city" driving, but since the inline turbo 6 makes so little power and torque until it reaches higher RPM, it may be hitting 4,000 RPM or MORE in normal city driving.
Wow only 14.5 mpg in the Hemi? 🤯 I get 16 mpg in my 6inch lifted 23’ Rocky Ridge F-150 XLT on 22in rims and 35in tires! That’s terrible. 🤦
From what I've been hearing, it's better than the 5.7, but I'll never know cause I'm keeping my 15 ram forever😊
Supposedly, they ditched the hemi for the hurricane over emissions and fuel economy. But, the 2025 HO Hurricane produces 521 g/mi of emissions compared to the 2024 hemi hybrid's 456 g/mi. Hemi also gets 19 mpg compared to the Hurricane HOs 17 combined. Non-HO is 456 g/mi and 19 mpg (same as hemi) The math doesn't math. Higher profit margin, shorter lifespan and then blame it on regulations?
I ll stick to my V8, I let others take the turbo reliability hit! Also if they made for example a 4.0 turbo, I'd me more likely to try it.
First transition was v8 etorque garbage. now its 6 cylinders. next will be 4 cylinders and a china battery. I believe the last transition will be bankruptcy.
Tbh im interested in seeing how these hurricanes last since its built off an inline 6. Inline 6 engines have been around for a very, very long time. For a reason.
Im not really into modern rams appearance, but inline 6 has definitely gotten my attention.
If it was just an inline 6 I would agree with you. However it is a dual turbo..... Let me correct that it is an Italian dual turbo setup. Guaranteed to fail. Like all Italian car products it is not made for anything close to reliability.
@@seanbutler2291 everything is guaranteed to fail at some point dude. You are not smart enough for this comment section kiddo. You need a hobby, you are in every single thread whining like a girl.
These turbo engines are not the same as putting turbos in an old beater, as i previously explained to you. They last as long as the engine, because they were actually engineered with the engine rather than being put on by a hobbyist.
Looking to buy a Ram 1500 and now I'm a little confused because I really want a Hemi. I hear about the Hemi tick but still think I'm going for it since the Hurricane is brand new and not sure how it will hold up. Advise is welcome.
If I were on the market for a new 1500 pickup truck, I would have bought the 2024 Ram 1500 with the V8 Hemi, not the new straight six engine. Why risk it? Anyways, they literally look the same.
Next time you punch a HEMI turn off the MDS and you’ll really feel the power of the V8. And just for the sake of it, the Acronym for RAM:
Real American Muscle. That’s what I like to tell the Ford and Chevy trucksters.
Is it just me or do neither of these trucks have tow hooks? Kind of a fail there. Give props to Ram they have had the best interiors for a long time now. That being said their exterior styling is wearing on me. Ram has kept the same basic shape since 2008, and with the 2019 redesign I think they made the front end worse. Agree with the comments they could have kept the Hemi in certain trim levels to keep "that" customer happy. Not sure if it's gonna be 2026 or 2027 but when the new GM twins debut they will be sporting a new Gen VI small-block which I am sure will be kept competitive with the Hurricane.
I ordered a 24 bighorn with the hemi, 3:92 rear end, off road package, towing package, and level B equipment (big screen & alpine system). The hemi without the 3:92 axle ratio just isn't the move. Looking to upgrade intake, exhaust (borla atack) and Diablo pcm. I would not trade my truck for that new bighorn. However, I am peanut butter and Jelly it comes with the elusive fender flares 😔
She's at 20k miles and has just been a dream. I also want to replace the front bumper. I don't like how low the front end is. And will level it. 🇺🇸
While I'll confess that I've never been very taken with Ram, I do think the interior of the new model is great and the quieter engine is fine for me (loud engines just don't appeal to me in general).
I can't believe the fuel economy is accurate on the Hurricane! Wouldn't buy it if that was correct. I have a 3.5 ecoboost 2019 f150 that gets 20mpg with mixed driving. Ram needs to make their trucks lighter.
Thanks for the review and it was nice to see what the night edition looks like on the 2025. I really like the Hurricane !, Thanks Ben
Done with RAM. Keeping my TRX. No V8 option my wallet won’t open for RAM ever. Hate 6 cylinder. Sounds like a sick cow when you step on gas. Bybye RAM no more of my $$
My first truck was a Dodge B100 Van with a Slànt Six engine. I hear this new truck needs the whole body lifted off to exchange the motor should it develops a problem and has many plastic engine parts that go wrong, and it has no DIPSTICK for you to check the Oil.
I would take the hemi all day every day over the hurricane
The Hurricane is the American 2JZ
I miss the days of when a truck was just a truck. It didn't need to be huge., like look at the Chevy s tens. Look at the small Toyota tacomas. This is just ridiculous. A truck just needs to be a truck in nothing more. They've gone 2 to 3 times the size. And it's just absolutely ridiculous
I saw another video about this new 6 turbo and he supposedly had spoken to service managers about it. The reliability is just not there. I can tell not give my experience of owning F150s with V8s and one with the ecoboost and the ecoboost was not as reliable. Lost a cylinder or maybe more at around 125k miles plus had turbo issues at 80k miles. I’ll never own another turbocharged vehicle if I can help it.
Just look at the issues Toyota is having with the 3.4 V6 turbos in the tundra and Lexus LX (i expect the same result from the new GX). Reliability seems to have gone down the toilet across the board though and this includes the issues with the GM V8s. I’d love to know if the newer F150 with the 5.0 V8 is more reliable than their current ecoboost V6s.
They could of easily gave us a hemi 5.7 with the custom mid pipe headers with hybrid engine to give us 410+/- HP and More Torque in cool looking sport package. But no…..
