The plastic is just a cover over top a metal bumper. Will be able to withstand the same impact as without the plastic cover.

Anyone getting a 2025 with the I6 Hurricane?

True, and another negative is the Hurricane's mpg ratings include start/stop like the 22 hemi etorque. So, with the SO the only thing your gaining is more power and less emissions.
Which is better? Does the set up save on weight? Maybe its cheaper to repair after an accident.
Yep I know this. I’m more or less referring to damage thats strong enough to crack the plastic (like road debris) but other then paint damage metal bumper would withstand.
Probably more expensive. Better aero for fuel mileage.
Unless you are in sub zero temps, it shouldn't bmcrack the plastic. The plastic will flex and return. I have a bumper cover on my Dakota that survived an accident where zi rear-ended a Ford Ranger and bent the bumoer underneath and put a hole in my transmission cooler. Replaced the metal bumper and slapped the bumper cover back on. Just hit it with another coat of primer, since it was just primer white to begin with

This was a good video posted of the 1st time 2025 Tradesman + Laramie Towing. Liked the Laramie as it’s comparable to what I use now for towing and think the SO engine is a good fit. That back up option should be dropped from the truck. If you don’t know how to back up a trailer you shouldn’t be pulling one. Those tow mirrors will be $1000+ a side to replace if hit.
Really glad I ordered a 2022 non-etorque Laramie when I did. These new 2025 trucks are grossly overpriced for the average owner that spends the majority of the time hauling air in the bed, driving in the city and stuck in freeway traffic as some said the epa suggests.

Spends too much time on here
Absolutely, it's a compliance engine in the RAM, though likely a good one even though it's tow/haul rating actually went down. I would probably love it in a Jeep Wrangler.
The Wagoneer has the standard output (SO) Hurricane engine, while the Grand Wagoneer has the high output (HO) version. If you test drove a Wagoneer it was the SO version.
Stellantis Recalls 38,164 Vehicles For Steering Column Module Issues
Stellantis (FCA US, LLC) is recalling approximately 38,164 vehicles because the steering column control module (SCCM) may not be welded properly. This can prevent the driver's airbag from deploying in a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle...

I don't know what the three asterisk mean but I'm going to take an educated guess and go with EGR.
If so, then the engines probably do come with it. Majority of all engines in the USA have an EGR.
You can delete anything you want, as long as you're willing to pay. These engines are new to the market, so the aftermarket hasn't begun doing much R&D to them.

talked to my salesman Saturday, he said he was told they were going to start heavy on the HO models this week. mine was still sitting in C though.
They provided a GW as a loaner? Damn, that's not happening in my area. My local dealership provides low trim level cars and trucks as loaners. The next closest one provides rentals, but again are pretty much low trim level models.
I'll definitely be test driving the HO when they finally hit the lots later in the year. I'm curious about the SO but not enough to test drive one.

i have no clue why they have it on the lot lol. only reason i knew about it is cause my buddy was having problems with his 23 eco and they kept giving it to him as a loaner. the thing is a absolute unit. i felt like i was in a spaceship lol. it had so many screens, passenger side, driverside, rear, everyone had a screen lol. air ride, sport, trail ect. and thing was fast. got like 16 miles a gallon too LOL.
as nice as it was, im not paying 109k for it (Still had the window sticker)

109 is the cheaper (Grand Wagoneer)version unless it was on a massive sale. The Series III Grand Wagoneers are like 125k.
Back to Ram Talk. No word on my HO Limited. I assume they're going to fill dealer lots first like they did with the SOs but from what I have heard from the past order forums no one really knows what they're doing until its done.
My dealer gave me a Jeep Compass for a loaner
