Twin-Turbo 3.0-liter (Hurricane) Inline-Six-Cylinder (H.O.) Engine - Specifications!

[HSKR R/T]

I read somewhere that this new bore tech went through durability testing and still had the cross hatching, and no lip, after a lot of miles. I get the feeling the Bores will last a really, really long time.

I mean, when I totaled my 99 Dakota R/T with 120k miles on it, the factory crosss hatching in cylinders was still there. That was the 5.9l Magnum engine. Ran nothing but Mobil1 synthetic and 3k oil changes.

Similar cylinder coatings like Nikasil have been used reliably in aluminum bores for 30+ years now in the motorcycle industry. Everything from little high strung 65cc two-strokes up to 1000+cc sport bikes & touring bikes. Typically even when the piston rings wear out the cylinder & coating will still be perfect & ready to accept new pistons & rings
I'm not concerned with the feasibility or longevity of the coating. I would be concerned with quality control during its application leading to coating failure or an improper surface finish leading to oil consumption.

Ram has built and is testing hundreds of I6 Hurricane powered pilot trucks, including the TRX. An I6 powered Ram 1500 in 2025 is a certainty. Other than the sound, (wet fart) I wouldn't mind a 510 HP I6 in a Laramie or Limited. No way would I trade my supercharged 6.2 Hemi for one.

Is This the New Twin-Turbo Inline-Six Ram TRX?

Ram has already confirmed that the TRX nameplate will outlive its original V-8 engine.

Hundreds? They don't build that many pilot vehicles. It us used in other models, but basically for only one year. That doesn't prove dependability at all. Ford turbo engine didn't fail for 4 or 5 years.
