IMO short of the ET issues i believe it will be cheaper to maintain and more reliable than a twin turbo motor in the long term.

Also the Hurricane is a nightmare to work on and not easy to get access to.

What parts on the hurricane engine have you had difficulty accessing and working on?

Ram owners are now experiencing what F150 owners went through 15 years ago lol. Naturally aspirated v8 versus a 6 cylinder twin turbo. It's a tired argument. Get which ever engine you feel more comfortable with and move on. I'm just glad we have a v8 option again. More engine options is a good thing.
