6000 rpms. In the mustang it puts out 450 HP.

I'm not a ford fan in the slightest, but the 5.0 has always held its own pretty well against the 5.3 and 5.7 as well. My brother has a 2013 5.0 f150 and its no slouch.

Oh yea, the five O motor is tried and trued. I had one in my 89 f150. It’s the only part of that truck that didn’t break. My current company truck, 2013 f150, has one too. It does well, but it’s a turd compared to my ram. Not the same in the stang of course.

How long did you search for an old article from over two years ago? Once again, repeating ignorance does not make you right, or help your case.

The current 5.0 isn't the same motor as your 89 F150 had.

It was two seconds. Here are two posts from members on this very forum calling it "srt":

Ram, please give us the 6.4!

They just put the 6.4/392 into the Jeep Wrangler of all things. I'm happy for them, but I would love to have the 6.4 in my 5th gen too. Why do they keep us out of all the fun? 470 HP and 470 lb/ft of torque would be a great option to have for guys like me who want a nicer towing experience...

6.4L

This is probably a very stupid question and I'm very new to Dodge/Ram/FCA, but I haven't found an answer to it or a discussion on it. Is the 6.4L related to the 5.7L with the exception of the larger bore/stroke? By this what I'm trying to understand is if the motors are the same besides a...

And ... here is an article from 5th gen rams discussing this very idea. Oh wait. It's more than a year old. Guess that completely invalidates it now.

If Jeep® Can Do It With The Wrangler, Why Not Ram With The 1500?

Recently, the Jeep® brand unveiled a new Wrangler concept vehicle, in which SRT engineers have installed the popular 6.4-liter (392-cubic-inch) HEMI V8 engine from the Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack into the iconic off-roader. It wasn’t even a week later that spy photographers caught a...

Different forum. I can google this to death but why bother?

6.4 SRT swap in a 2020 ram 2500?

Hey guys, traded in my 2017 ram 2500 for my new 2020 6.4 2500 in flame red. The 8 speed is amazing. Ive pondered it a while now, but has anyone heard of this swap? those motors should bolt up to this transmission right? just seems like an easy way to get to 500 hp and relatively cost...

You're right, why bother. As I've said before, repeating ignorance doesnt make it right.

And the last article you linked in previous post was from same writer as the first ones and he now says "SRT based" instead of just calling it the SRT 6.4. Seems even he is smart enough to realize he had it wrong before.

I love how you focus on that article saying "SRT based" instead of the point of the article (which was, putting that SRT engine in the ram 1500). I can post more links from this forum, and a ton from ramforum. My "why bother" is in reference to your inability to admit when you're wrong. As I said, I've been here a while.

Seems you are the one the the inability to admit calling it a SRT 6.4 is wrong. Even the editor of the two articles you linked corrected himself in the second article.

OMG you guys, enough already. This thread has gotten so far into the weeds I can't even see the shore anymore. I for one am still waiting to hear what the actual big thing that's coming is.

The answer was posted long ago. It's the new forum.

The "other" brands offering N/A and turbo, I can only assume you are referring to Ford, which the N/A option of the 5.0 isn't any better than the 5.7 in the Ram. The Ecoboost motors at still the higher performance options.

And nobody knows what the engine life will be on the Hurricane as it's a new engine. Using new technology.

There are lots of turbo engines renowned for long life. They are diesel engines. Ram uses one of the best. Its not the turbo itself that reduces engine life it's how one drives their vehicle.

I remember my first Ram test drive, where I lamented that the 6.2L in the Denali felt like a lot more engine. The sales rep immediately countered that “You’re not talking apples to apples” and “Ram offers the 6.4L for that”. I replied, “Not in the half ton, they don’t !”

And here we (still) are. I never asked for an SRT. I was just looking for a bit more motor. If the Power Wagon had a 5th-gen cab, that might have been my choice.
 
Can’t wait till they put a SRT 6.4 in the 1/2 tons.😝

This thread should be locked. Needless to say this announcement was as big as Pepsi clear.
 
I’m not sure the turbo reliability is really an issue. While I love my 5.7 Rebel and the way it sounds (and hopefully remain reliable to 200K), my 2013 F-150 with the 3.5L TT has been very reliable now with over 175K miles. It’s had down pipes, intake, exhaust, and been tuned since 1K. It makes 375/500 to the wheels. It’s leveled on 33’s and has spent quite a few miles pulling an 8500 lb travel trailer. It’s seen a dozen or so 1/4 mile passes and quite a few 4x4 boosted launches from lights embarrassing some pretty respectable cars. It gets 4K semi-synthetic OCI’s and still doesn’t use any oil. I still prefer pulling my travel trailer with it over the Rebel. Reliability was definitely a thought when I purchased it. But, it’s not any more.
