The plastic is just a cover over top a metal bumper. Will be able to withstand the same impact as without the plastic cover.Unpopular opinion I would rather have the thin steel or aluminum bumper than painted plastic especially on a truck with such a hefty MSRP. I wouldn’t expect a factory bumper to withhold a collision with a deer or such but could take a decent hit compared to plastic even if that means the paint takes some damage. Regardless I mentioned it before…. Ppf always if its painted on the front end but it seems guys have no problem committing 70k+ for a truck but when it comes to spending $1-2k on PPF they lose their minds and divert to this is the only painted front end I have etc that has had this many chips etc etc it likes talking to coworkers when the ask about the line in my film where it stops and why its there and I give a quick spill on PPF and point out why it was done as I point out their completely trashed rockchip front ends but all they can comprehend is the $1-2k price it would typically run.
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.Sure, but you couldn't get a regular 5.7L anymore in 1500 since the end of 2022 model year?
Which is better? Does the set up save on weight? Maybe its cheaper to repair after an accident.The plastic is just a cover over top a metal bumper. Will be able to withstand the same impact as without the plastic cover.

Probably more expensive. Better aero for fuel mileage.Which is better? Does the set up save on weight? Maybe its cheaper to repair after an accident.
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 withYep 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.

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.i will say i drove the jeep wagoneer with the turbo what ever motor in it that these are and its pretty amazing. i think it was the 500hpish version. i dont know anything about them. but i know it boogied
Anyone know if *** comes on these SO or HO engines, and if so, can it be deleted permanently?
This lone factor may make me to keep my 20 and 21 longer.
it was the grand daddy. the 100k+ one. i had it as a loaner when my ram was in the shop getting looked at for a trans code.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.
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.Props to @PetePA he found a limited longhorn is in production. If you check the ram site and filter limiteds,longhorns and tungsten’s. I saw 2 longhorns and 2 limiteds in production as of today (March 23rd). So it looks like the HOs might have finally started. Woo hoo.
