Interesting that those numbers match GM’s 6.2L output exactly.Seems like they are hinting that a Turbocharged six-cylinder with 420 hp/ 460 lb-ft is the replacement for 5.7 Hemi and trying to gather info on how many buyers they would lose/not lose by dropping the V8

Nope. I'll take the V8 with less torque any day of the week over a direct inject turbo.
I've had three different direct inject turbo's over the last 8 years and while they all had fun seat of the pants low rpm torque, they ALL exhibited a 'jerkiness' to them under normal driving/acceleration. If you own/drive one long enough you'll surely know what I'm talking about. This is the reason I've gone back to LOVING a naturally aspirated, port injected V8; the linear sheer smoothness under normal and spirited acceleration.
If someone can eventually design a buttery smooth direct inject turbo then I'll have a go. (Not to be confused with a direct inject supercharged engine) I've driven one of those and it was smooth as butter. Something about the turbo/DI combo just ruins the smoothness to me.
My 2010 Audi A4 has a direct injected 2.0L turbocharged engine. To me it feels very smooth. I definitely haven't felt any jerky-ness in it. Even so, I do not want a small displacement turbocharged engine in a full sized truck. Just because they can doesn't mean it's a good idea. I'd much rather have a N/A larger displacement v8 chugging along than a harder-working small displacement engine that needs forced induction to approach the same power numbers as the v8. A harder working engine will die sooner.Nope. I'll take the V8 with less torque any day of the week over a direct inject turbo.

The Wagoneer debut only showed the 5.7L for this fall... maybe they wait for model year #2 to keep it fresh?The straight six is going to debut in the Wagoneer this fall.
The wagoneer debut that just happened only has rhe 5.7 for Wagoneer and 6.4 for grand wagoneer. In the fall...the straight six will make its debut...in the wagoneer twinsThe Wagoneer debut only showed the 5.7L for this fall... maybe they wait for model year #2 to keep it fresh?
But the real breaking news is the addition of the all-new GME-T6 (Global Medium Engine – Turbocharged 6-Cylinder) engine. The all-new inline-six-cylinder engine is the future of rear-wheel-drive (RWD) based powertrains for Ram and Jeep vehicles. The GME-T6 H.O. (High-Output) engine will deliver somewhere around 525 horsepower according to our sources. It will mark the first time that this all-new engine is used in any Stellantis application and will be available later this year, a few months after the initial launch of the Grand Wagoneer.The Wagoneer debut only showed the 5.7L for this fall... maybe they wait for model year #2 to keep it fresh?
