PW with the 6.4 will be my last vehicle purchase.
There's no exciting new vehicles out there...

The HO Hurricane gets way better gas mileage than the Hellcat.

It's still going to be dogcrap unless they remove the 1 ball left on the TRX and let it push out like 330 HP

330hp? The HO Hurricane makes over 500hp

 

[Darksteel165]

330hp? The HO Hurricane makes almost 500hp

And that means it will be terrible mpg.

Once again a lot better than what the Hellcat gets

Neither come anywhere close to what the government is pushing so it pointless. **** people off who want a v8 with another engine destined to fail in "search of mpg".
Would be better off making a v4 hybrid and keeping the v8 imo. Besides the fact it's a truck when you get into smaller displacement engines and twin turbos your options open way up. Ram one of the few pickup truck companies that were still offering a v8 just gave up that market share to Ford and GM.

Next thing is people are going to try to convince me that the Ram REV is the next v8 replacement right?

Maybe they should of created a new brand name like RFiat to sell these new "muscle trucks" with i6 in them and it might get received better.

Failing to solve a problem by introducing another problem imo.

Better be with 200 less HP

As with so many other facets of life, we are supposed to all just pretend that these downsized engines get better mpg - on an order of magnitude that makes a difference at least - even though its pretty common knowledge by now that they do not.

Not in the use case that trucks exist for, which is to be put under load, where turbo engines burn more than NA V8s, pound for pound. Its just a fact they have to deal with enrichment to combat temps from constant boost.

Now idling along on the highway sure they get better MPG, and because that's all the EPA tests care about, we're all supposed to believe these are better for us.

Again, its all stupid for a truck - if you want a truck with MPGs get a diesel or an EV (I still dont buy EVs being better for the earth, but they are efficient as long as you dont have far to go).

If you just want good mpgs, get a prius.

Note: I still own a TT V6 Half Ton that works and cruises a lot. It's lifetime fuely is not significantly different from the Dodge magnum v8 (4 speed!) or Chevy v8 I had prior.

We shouldn't be paying this much for gas! I want a V8 or a V10 with turbos, not a 6 cylinder!!

the govt and Stellantis are screwing the brand that’s for sure
