I’m sure it’s been asked but does anyone like the 3.0 vs the 5.7? Currently have a 21 limited but want to look at the 25’ Tungsten. Gas mileage on the 21 is horrible so hoping the 3.0 is slightly better. The 5.7 has been solid mechanically, I just don’t wanna run into any issues with the 3.0.
 
I had a 2019 with the 5.7 and totaled it. I loved my truck and didn't want to replace it. Bought a 2025 Rebel and love the 3.0. Do not miss my truck one bit. I love the 3.0. My gas mileage is about 1 mpg better, hardly any freeway
 
Gas MPG isn't going to be better in an engine that makes more power.

MPG aside, I'd wait for the 6.4. Rumours abound about it coming to the 1500, and possibly a 7.0 as well though that one is harder to believe. :)
 
Just don't get an older production date Hurricane. Too many reported electrical gremlins. Let some tsb's be applied first.

Something produced about March 25 or later may be better. It's all a dice toss in year one.
