    Looking to Buy - 6 vs 8 cylinder?

    So the hurricane is an anomaly then because this hit in resale value doesn't seem to occur with other makes and models of vehicles with turbos. Could argue the opposite actually.

    Looking to Buy - 6 vs 8 cylinder?

    Driving the 3.0 isn't as enjoyable? Have you actually drive one other than on a dealer lot? I've never had a hemi put a smile on my face like that hurricane does. Towing in the mountians is an absolute joy with the instant torque the twin turbos put out. The performance diffrence is night...

    What are you towing?

    My 16yo son bought himself his first race car with money he's been saving. Someone started making it a drag car then for whatever reason stopped halfway and parked it in the barn for the last decade.

    The hurricane tows better than the hemi. This is comparing my brother in laws 2018 rebel against my 25 warlock. Mpg was similiar. I traded with him for a day when mine was brand new so i could tow my boat. Boat/trailer is roughly 4200lbs.
