Anyone getting a 2025 with the I6 Hurricane?

Information wise, thought it was very interesting, but by claiming he is a "Hot Rod" guy but likes the sound of the I6 over V8 loses some credibility.

And why is that? Don't get me wrong, I prefer the sound of a V8 myself. But that's subjective and has no bearing on anyone's credibility. I love the sound of a Harley. It's a twin-v. Does that give me less credibility? People like what they like.

Because its like someone saying they are a firearms enthusiast but don't like the sound of guns. ;)

I see my dealer had some killer deals on the 2024 Limited model and I was looking to upgrade. I see the new 2025 will have the I6 hurricane and I was curious if anyone knows anything about this new engine. I see that they have it in the new Grand Waggoner. Has anyone heard anything about it. Is it reliable? I don’t know whether to get a 2024 for a deal or wait for the 2025.

They may rant and rave about the MPG increase for the new V6 Hurricanes, but they fail to tell you it takes Premium gas so your not really coming out ahead all that much imo.

Is this random or have you been a customer for awhile?

I have owned 4 Rams counting my '16. I am not sure why I received the certificate. The only possibility I can think of is that I have the unlimited mileage, lifetime, $100 deductible Max Care warranty. They may want to get out from under that warranty and figure throwing out 5K will help sway me.
I have not had a chance to drive the I6 yet, but hope to soon.

The SO Hurricane takes regular, for heavy use premium is best for optimal performance. The Hemi asked for 89 under the same conditions.

It’s the HO that is more sensitive to using premium.

The I6 is a treat to drive, feels miles better than the 5.7 to me. However, I’ve never had a v8 so that exhaust note is something you may miss.

That is literally me. If it wasn't such a long wait for ATF approval and so expensive, I would absolutely have suppressors.

Wait times have been significantly reduced lately. Sometimes in the matter of days for some folks.

Haha, that's a terrible analogy but it's a funny response. I know lots of firearms enthusiasts, myself included. But I don't think any of us actually likes the sound of them going off. ;) Especially if the guy at the bench next to you is using a muzzle brake. I mean, it's an accepted part of shooting so it's tolerated. The exception to that is if I'm using a suppressor. Love the sound of a suppressed 300 blackout firing subsonic rounds.

Super interesting.

1. Cruise control electronics issues.
2. Laggy Screen
3. "Blown" speaker
4. Throttle tuning needs work

The video is dated today.

Just watched this, not super surprising to me honestly. They’re super early production. But also I can’t speak for the high output but I absolutely did not feel that way about the throttle response with the SO. Also I have a feeling that if this truck had issues they’ll be electronic due to the new “Atlantis high” wiring architecture but that’s just my theory here’s to hoping this is a one off thing.

Agreed. A subsonic 300 blackout from a suppressed bolt rifle is stupid quiet. ;)

Sheesh. Thats more or less the exact list of issues Im trying to get out of with my Silverado.

That's not even close to a good comparison. A horrid guy cares more about performance than sound. If you'd rather have a slow truck with a V8 than a high performance truck tht just happens to have an I6, you aren't really a hot rod guy
