Who is jumping on the 24s for the Hemi? Who is looking forward to the Hurricane? Will the Hemi return in next year or two?

[Ram1500OwnerMaybe]

Debating on jumping on a 24 to get the last of the Hemi, but my truck still have some miles left.

Sorta like the slightly newer look of the 25s, but a fan of turbo engines as I tend to keep vehicles a looooooong time.

My truck could last another year or two so if the Hemi makes a comeback in another year or two, it would be perfect timing.

Anyone else debating this or jumping on the 24s to get the last of the V8s.

I went from a 23 to a 24 just to get ALL the options I wanted and the Hemi.

Needs the option of "Buy a Ford" and "Buy a Chevy"

I originally wanted a 24MY Limited but decided on the 25MY once I learned that they'll be available 1st quarter of 2024. I'm looking forward to my Tungsten and that lovely I6 with twin hair dryers!!! I originally wanted the 2025 Limited but I wanted that Klipsch 1200watt sound system.

Barring anything wildly unexpected, I’ll be holding onto my 2019 (HEMI) for years to come!

(Admittedly, the Ramcharger is interesting…)

Stats are stats on the new engine and they are impressive, but getting the first generation of an engine...no thanks.

That being said, nothing sounds like a big V8 with exhaust. I would expect the new engine to do well, but it won't sound like a hemi or feel like one (see Ford's eco-boost 6 cyl). I pull a 7,500lbs trailer at 70 mph with 35" tires with the 3.21 gears with the Hemi and it does it somewhat easily. Not to say the new engine would do better or worse, but I am really happy with the Hemi's abilities to do truck stuff. This is the latest gen Hemi and as good as it is going to get this last year.

Not 1st gen, Wagoneer has the I6 now. Only thing stopping me from a 25 with the hurricane is the 4x4 requirement and ram boxes

It's 1st gen.
There is no second generation Hurricane.

Interesting, theirs a 1500 HP version of the Hurricane engine

Next-Gen Mopar Drag Pak Race Car To Feature Hurricane I6 Power!

Yesterday, Mopar/Direct Connection surprised us with the introduction of multiple crate engines ranging from the new twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter Hurricane I6 engines, to the new range of HELLEPHANT HEMI V8s, and even a licensed partnership with Don Schumacher Racing (DSR) to create a blown 1,500...

I bought a 22 so that I could get the last year of the regular HEMI without eTorque. I won't even consider RAM next time as long as the other two offer V8s.

No turbocharging. Seen the issues with them, and look what a journey the F150 Ecoboost has been on.
Direct injection is bad enough, but turbocharged AND DI? No thanks! I'll hold on to my Hemi!

 

[31RamIt]

2021 is paid off. It will be in my driveway until it dies.

 

[millerbjm]

I am hoping my next Ram will be the Ramcharger maybe in 2026 or 2027.

What is the starting price for those?
Have not seen any.

Hasn't been released yet - I imagine it will be pretty high but maybe tempered by tax incentives a d market forces... only time will tell.

This!

The 2024 isn't a true Hemi....it's an eTorque.. no thanks!

I won't be jumping, not a fan of turbos. Had 1 bad experience with a turbo and that unfortunately turned me off them for life. Personally I feel the Hemi will return in a few years, it's two big of a cash cow for stellenis to give up. If it's all about Cafe requirements there engineer for a few years to work there way around it.

I live in two places, '20 laramie, '21 limited, both v8-only (no e), long beds.
I don't like the e-thing (my choice). I generally replace 4-5 yrs, so my '20 will be due end of 24 or early 25, and I've yet to decide on the SO or HO hurricane. I drove a SO in a Wagoneer and it was very comparable and on the plus side to the hemi. power wise. Good timing for me to see how these do for a little while. I think Ram will lose a decent percent of sales with no hemi, but not to me.

Thankfully I won’t be looking for a new truck for at least 2-3 more years so I’ll see how things shake out by then. I retired recently and putting on about 1/3 of the miles I did previously so might even be longer.

Doubt we’ll see another V8 option in the near future since they have so much invested in the Hurricane but a guy can only hope Ford and Chevy who are still commited to V8’s will push Ram to do something. They will lose a lot of sales no doubt if they don’t offer a V8 anymore.
