This is a great post. The reason I went v6 is similar to many here. I don’t tow but mainly wanted a truck to haul my family which consists of my wife and 2 teenagers. They absolutely love the 2025 Crew cab Bighorn. The other reason is the deals they are offering on the v6 models. I just bought a 2025 Crew Cab Bighorn level 2 Night edition that had a 60k sticker price for $40,300 that also included a spray in bed liner and side steps. The cheapest I could get the same truck with the 3.0 Hurricane was $47k. I just couldn’t see spending the $7000 premium. We love the truck so far!

Why did you choose the V6 over the hemi?

Yes, if the 3.6 fits your needs it’s a great motor! 66k on my 2015 jkur and it runs great! Expecting an easy 150-200k miles out of it. Unfortunately with the old 5 speed auto and worse aerodynamics than a ram I get 15 around town and 17-18 at 70+ on the highway.
I have a hemi ram because I thought they were going to the wayside and now they are not.
That pentastar should last a lifetime for you folks. It’s no coincidence they are using it in their new extended range truck.

I was very disappointed this year. 43k on 2022 v6 and a cam went bad. it was still under warranty... but a backorder part. backorder = many cam shaft issues in my understanding. I stayed with Ram but traded into a Hurricane. Still great gas mileage when daily driving but power when you need it.
