I enjoy hammering the gas as much as the next guy, but the days of going 100 mph on the street are well behind me. 😬
Oh but it puts such a grin on your face when you hit 100 mph in a few seconds to pass three cars who is by far under the speed limit and spaced far enough in between each to where your stuck as the 4th back at 38MPH in a 55 zone. Not enough distance in the two lane or fear of one goober in the middle speeds up when you decide enough and pass all to maintain 55 with them behind you! Instant 100 mph will bust all three goobers and keep you at a safe distance to pass them all back to speed limit! HELLCATS ROCK!!!!!

I agree they both feel the same! And that’s right there both slow compared to srt hellcats or AMG or vettes but for a truck they are quick I remember when most gas trucks came with only 200-260hp I don’t consider 400hp slow for a half ton pick up truck
Trust me Hellcats are so much fun! But the Ram 1500 is a nice agile ,fast, great riding truck no matter what gear it has over any truck on the road imo!

I need to get me some gloves to help protect my knuckles when I walk. I had no idea the 3.92's would make me a young strong man again! Now we have another bonus for having 3.92! Wonder if my gonades will be bigger now too? :)

Gonades… not sure what those are. Balls, no. Peter, no.
Imagination, yes.

If only I had spent that extra $95 for the 3.92 option i'd be so much more manly.

Joking aside, I got the 3.21 because I drive without trailer 90% of the year. Even with the trailer (6000lbs box camper) it doesn't struggle. If I was towing heavier (12k), like when we plan to travel 6mo every year when I retire, I'm just going to go to a 3500 and relax.

The two gear sets have their uses, thus why there is a choice.

That's it exactly, it has enough power and the 3.92 doesn't make it a rocket ship, I bought it for the luxury, ride and something to drive and not think about. It's a great driving truck and a great cruiser.

If I want fast, I'll get in my car and after driving it for a few hours im ready for the trucks refinement and quiet. No amount of power will satisfy me with this truck after driving my car which is reason number one that the 3.92s mean nothing to me.
