I have a 2019 Hemi, and am going to hold onto it for as long as I can. Nothing beats a V8.

I will be holding on to my 2022 5.7 hemi love the power response and just the sheer sound of that rumbling v8 makes me a happy man

truck prices are insane, these trucks need to be 40 grand max, if they want to sell numbers

A 400 HP naturally aspirated HEMI should’ve been an option on 2025 models.

Muffler deleted 24 ram hemi. It’s glorious

I know that the 6 has more power, but I'm sticking with my V8 till the wheels fall off.

I am noyt sure if anyone noticed, but the color for the mileage was green in the new Hurricane and white in the Hemi. Psychological impact to being greener.

The Hurricane is NOT better. They could’ve made a V8 with the same HP and torque. Hurricane was developed directly by Stellantis and they are not known for reliability. The Hemi and Hellcat were developed by Chrysler rather than Stellantis and they are simplistic and proven.

I want to see the Hurricane in the Grand Cherokee, Gladiator and Wrangler! The should have carried over the Hemi for a few more years. I don’t see adding the Hurricane to the Ram is going to increase sales it may actually do the opposite as the Ram guys love the Hemi and will not be wanting to be the first on the new turbo charged engine.

I knew i saw the 2025 test truck rolling down I20 with a camper. Like the front end, but let's just watch the sales hit the floor as they get rid of the hemi.

I have a 2014 Hemi Longhorn and I'm keeping it. It's smooth and unbelievably fast!. GREAT VEHICLE!!

I like this footage a whole lot better than the original. This really makes us feel like we are with you and I like that! Thank you Matt for everything you do!

Nothing beat's a turbo till it breaks down, I bet these new engines will break way more then the Hemi.

Hemi = 14.5 mpg & Hurricane = 13.2 mpg . Certainty not what i expected in a 6 cyl vs a V8 🤔

That new headlight design is slick!!!

I’ll keep my 2020 4X4 crewcab Ram with the Hemi NON etorque and 3:92 rear axle. It just turned 36,000 miles and it’s almost paid off! I hate a stop/start feature on a truck. New is nice but title in hand is Great! And the old adage of never buy anything the first year is an understatement! Love my Ram and I’m keeping it!

I drove a SST yesterday at Don Davis Chrysler Dodge Ram Jeep. I am highly impressed by the engine. I own a 2021 Ram 1500 5.7 hemi etorque. The dual turbos on the straight six has no noticeable turbo lag which confused as I gave it the beans. The truck only had 30 miles when I test drove it. It has start stop as well which is so smooth that you can't tell the engine is off. The smoothness of rhe straight six is very impressive. I am keeping my hemi and purchasing a Lonestar in 2 years by that tyme all the kinks should be worked out. I asked the mechanics at the dealership about the platform and they said so no real issues. The issues were more along the line of quality control at the factory

I was waiting for this comparison good job Ben 👍🏻 . I think a longer trip is what’s really needed to get more accurate mpg you need to drive the new engine a little more to get used to it usually you tend to hit the accelerator a little harder after coming from a v8 at least I noticed that with my truck.

Hi, Ben Hardy this is Jermey McGuire. My grandpa had a 2005 Ran 1500 quad cab with a 5.7 liter Hemi magnum V8 SLT. I enjoyed riding in my grandpa’s Hemi, my grandpa is no longer with us anymore.” My grandpa and I used to go get breakfast together every morning. I made so many memories with my grandpa In his Hemi. The Hemi is more reliable than the hurricane.” When you started the ram 1500 Hemi it brings me back them memories I had with my grandpa, I miss him to this day

I think the new cam set up is great and keep up with the great content

Thanks for the review and it was nice to see what the night edition looks like on the 2025. I really like the Hurricane !, Thanks Ben

TRX vs High Output. 🙏🙏🙏 It’s hard not hearing that Hemi Rumble note anymore. Hate seeing it go away.

Can't wait until your review of the TRX vs the new RHO when they release it.

At 10:22 that damn Subaru was about to turn into the stopped cars on the opposite lane.🤣🤣

Old taillights I think is piece of art best once found on a pickup truck.

They should put the low and high output hurricane in the wranglers! Like yesterday. And instead of getting rid of the hemi they should have improved its power with a supercharger

I have a 2016 1500 and my wife has a 2023 wagoneer with the 3 liter. What I have noticed is my truck tends to over-estimate the mpg by 1 and my wife’s wagoneer under-estimates by 2-3mpg. If the trucks are the same as the wagoneer my guess is there is a 1-2 mpg difference in favor of the 3 liter. Reliability and sound aside that hurricane beats the hemi in performance and MPG.

I get the seems luxurious comment.Sometimes quiet is good.There is just something about the mechanical feel of the V-8 though.Im probably good with either.Just take some getting use too I guess.Looking forward to the high output review.New camera legit.Thanks for pointing out the different nuances etc.

Always like watchin your vids ... specially since it's somethin new every day. Ty for sharing, overall the new motor is kool, I like the torque and how smooth it is ( for a turbo). the con is that it requires 91 oct. and the results it gives don't surpass the hemi by much ... would have made more sense to add low end torque, loose the e-torque + auto start / stop n just offered the hemi for $2k hell even at $4k more. I'm sure if stocked evenly on lot most would jump into Hemi vs this new motor ... btw, just something to think about I always look at the rpm range these motors make the hp / torque, maybe if able try adding it into vids, cause this helps a ton

Luxury feel is probably the way lighter engine weight.

Simple uncomplicated V8 anyday over the new complex highly stressed tiny 6.

It's a damn shame that the mpg isn't any better than the hemi was!!!🤯

Id say keep using the gimbal. Keeps the camera a bit more steady as you're panning around outside the vehicle.

Thank you, Ben. Good video. I want the hemi.

Insane cars Ben !! ❤❤

Dope comparison 👍🏾👍🏾

Thanks Ben!

I like the extra torque of the hurricane, but time will tell if the maintenance of the turbo becomes an issue.

I belong to several ram groups, everyday someone has hemi lifter/cam problems, I got rid of mine after $6000 in repairs, sold it at 140k kms, pos, tundra now!

Big fan of twin turbo straight six!! Even in the 2500/3500 trucks a turbo six is the way to go

As with the FTL crew, putting both turbos to work will see lower mpg. The more air slamming into the engine equals significantly more fuel added to the mix. 2017 3.5L EB f150 owner.

Hemi in my Challenger and that's where I'll stay.

Only people buying the hurricane are the people who've never had the v8 Hemi. It's just not the same truck anymore.

Ben it's hard to beat a Hemi, but we shall see.. I think it's gonna be interesting to compare...👍👏🏻

My new Ram has more HP that my Scat Pack think about that

And i have a 5speed auto in mine with the 4x4 shifter on floor and have it tuned and it will spin tires and get around 20 on hwy

The mountains in der background are very beautiful.

Ur up early as usual & Jeez that beard! lol

I have a 2017 ram 1500 5.7 HEMI that has 248,000 mi on it with zero mechanical issues. I maintain it as anyone should. So I stand with the HEMI

From what I've been hearing, it's better than the 5.7, but I'll never know cause I'm keeping my 15 ram forever😊

Im driving the hurricane as a rental while the other is getting work. Its just the base v6 but this thing gets up and goes!

Tbh im interested in seeing how these hurricanes last since its built off an inline 6. Inline 6 engines have been around for a very, very long time. For a reason. Im not really into modern rams appearance, but inline 6 has definitely gotten my attention.

I was a bit skeptical about the Hurricane but after almost six months…I am impressed. Major con for the Hurricane is not having a physical dipstick to check oil but once you get past that….great engine…. I have a Charger for my HEMI fix but Hurricane is definitely a decent engine and plenty of power even on an almost 8000 lb vehicle!

I have a ‘21 hemi with etorque I bought a few months ago, and have been driving BMW inline 6 TT’s for years (N54 & N55) in several different models. I agree that the hemi is smooth and linear and the power is there, but it doesn’t like to be rushed. The abundance of low-end turbo torque in the BMW engines makes them more playful. Really curious to test drive a Hurricane Ram, as the hemi and the N55 really add to the different driving experience of my 1500 vs. my 740i, which I value a lot. In regards to fuel economy, the more you spin up the turbos the more your fuel economy suffers. If you drive sedately and leverage the torque wave at low revs, you can take advantage of the smaller displacement. I notice that the Hemi stays down at the same rev levels when I drive it sedately, but you still can’t escape the displacement. One other comment-if this Hurricane turns out to be a solid engine, it’s easy to add 40% power with a simple tune and some bolt-ons. Just look at the N54/55 fanboys and coal rollers for that. 😉

Still have my 2004 Ram 1500. Also have a 2014 F150 with the eco boost. The pain is when one or both turbos goes bad to the pocket book😂 The turbos cost almost as much to replace the engine. So check your warranty if you buy the hurricane on the turbos. The Hemi is also much easier to work on.

One advantage inline has over V8 and even V6 is working space due to the cylineders being lined down the center instead half on one side half the other

My experience with Ram Hemi rental trucks is that the power is very good and fuel economy was excellent for a V8 full size pickup truck. Averaged 27 with hunting gear in the mountains of Colorado. I know, I couldn't believe it either. That's what the computer said - maybe it lied. Didn't hand calculate it. This was the 4.6l ( I think) smaller Hemi.

Keep the new cam set up. It looks much clearer.

A straight 6 has always been a solid choice for a light duty truck. The concern I would have is on durability. I have read articles and see others discuss that they have maxed capability (especially the HO version) in the Hurricane as opposed to the Hemi. Could result in reduced engine life, especially if towing. And speaking about towing, MPG is more negatively impacted in a turbo vs a naturally aspirated engine. Got a couple of buddies with the ford twin turbo F150. Great around town, but boy does it take a hit when towing (especially something like a travel trailer). Worse millage than their old V8s.

Be interested in a Towing Test between the 2 ‘

I think there is also something different with the screens, in the hemi it looked normal, is the hurricane it looked like it had a red overlay not sure if it was the camera or some difference in colors from the screens.

Wonder if it will another cam and lifter issues with the hurricane like the hemi problems or will it just be more complex problems with turbochargers and intercoolers or maybe both

Any chance of a longer term road test on the Hurricane ? Or, a longer comparison between the Hemi and Hurricane - the HO Hurricane would be good !

I'm waiting to see towing longevity of this six. If you use your truck as a car then I don't think it'll matter. But I work mine and the Ford turbo trucks haven't lasted. I have one 2005 Ram hemi with 450000 and we still work it. Thats worth paying for.

That start up on the new v6....woof

always had ford trucks in my family and recently at 19 got a 2017 ram 5.7 hemi with 50k miles Best decision ever

There has been a huge misconception between N/A v8s vs turbo 6s . 1: Old school people tend to think the V8 produces more torque at lower rpm and that’s just not true. 2: they tend to think there’s a lot of turbo lag and that not true for modern turbo engines. 3: turbo engines don’t last and that’s just not true as they are actually built to handle the extra stress . I can’t assess to the rams but can the 5.0 Ford vs Ecoboost . The 5.0 has the noticeable v8 sound and isn’t slow by any means but the 3.5 ecoboost is faster, it builds more torque at lower rpm, not just on the spec sheet either. When accelerating with the 5.0 you’ll find you have to get it the downshift to bring the rpm’s up to make power whereas the ecoboost will likely hold the gear when you fell the boost come in . I found myself only needing part throttle to accelerate under boost when I’d have to give it more throttle to get the 5.0s transmission to downshift , it has power but it’s not as low in the rpm

I've always been a fan of the Hemi v8, but I'm certainly not opposed to the Hurricane if I stick w Ram, come time to upgrade. I do get a simple pleasure out of hearing the v8 fire up w the remote start while walking towards my truck lol. I'd prefer waiting a yr or 2 to let them work out any issues w the Hurricane as well.

I want to like the hurricane but I love the sound and feel of a naturally aspirated V8. Plus I live closer to sea level so I wouldn’t see the altitude benefits from the turbo. I think I’ll stick with the Hemi. Good thing there’s plenty of brand new 22s, 23s, and 24s still on dealer lots.

The difference in the rear tail lights is because the older one has rear cross traffic alert. The tail lights actually has the traffic sensors built in.

Is payload a standardized measurement? If not, who is to say that a certain payload is causing too much stress on the engine and other components?

I am amazed that the Big 3 sells their trucks without a factory sprayed bedliner. Truck prices are insane,yet that is considered an upgrade. I have seen Ford Raptors without a bedliner. I cannot image any buyer that would not want the spray in liner.

2019 Ram Hemi owner and nothing makes me feel like I'll upgrade over what I have now. I'll be staying team hemi until the end!!!

What does the V6 engine look like and is the V6 any good and underpower?

While I'll confess that I've never been very taken with Ram, I do think the interior of the new model is great and the quieter engine is fine for me (loud engines just don't appeal to me in general).

Looking forward to driving one of these. I don't really get the sound thing, I mean most people let thier Hemi's stock and I can't even tell mines running at idle they are so quiet.

I dont like Teslas either but you have to give em credit. If you look closely you can tell the car stopped the driver from cutting you off.

I see youre tapping into your inner viking

I have no problems with the turbo motors and they take mods & tunes better. I have a 2020 EcoDiesel Longhorn & a 2121 Hemi Limited and love them both. I will keep the EcoD & Hemi as long as I can. But not going to snub my nose at the new Inline 6 turbo's. But If I got the new motor, I would only want the higher end motor only.

Got me a 2020 hemi and 2002 4.7 magnum gonna hold on to the. V8s until I can't no more

I’m surprised they don’t call it a Ram f150😂 I wonder how long till they start making aluminum body panels? Ram needed to take note that Ford has the turbo 6s but they still offer the V8. Why wouldn’t Ram offer the Hemi for less $?

My first truck was a Dodge B100 Van with a Slànt Six engine. I hear this new truck needs the whole body lifted off to exchange the motor should it develops a problem and has many plastic engine parts that go wrong, and it has no DIPSTICK for you to check the Oil.

63k for a BIG HORN YIKES! I have a 2023 Ram Rebel E Torque 3.92 axle ratio, that stickered for 69.9k that I had built from Factory in 2022 like the very end of it. It has a lot more features then both these trucks.....to pay 63k for a BIG HORN is outrageous! Just to think not that long ago they stickered for a lot less.....just holy smokes!

I like those new headlights, but the old tail lights and lack of wheel flares looks better to me. I'm going to drive my 2016 big horn until the wheels come off because I don't want a turbo engine. Repairs are going to be much higher on the hurricane and that's coming straight from a dealership service guy.

Ok..Lets see about Performance Program on the Hurricane and then see what the capability will be..Definately turn off A button for Start/ Stop feature..Dont compare this to 5.0 or Ecoboost V6 Ford trucks..Ecoboost V6 weak for full size trucks.$$$ without warranty..5.0 better choice..Just for comparison..

Interesting. So the net answer is exactly whether this is a good thing or not remains to be seen. Personally, I prefer a non-turbo engine for easier maintenance and repairs.

Fit and finish, ride quality, and longevity are #1 with Ram. Ram will continue to dominate the job sites. These new Mopars will continue to make the haters cry. Rams are kept twice as long as fords for a reason. Just wait till you see the price of the RHO. Ram is always at a whole other level. Haters keep crying, and we'll keep the job sites working.

The outside looks better on the 5th gen but the led lights are a big plus. Really wish the new bighorn got the silver/metal look gear shift. Hate the ram lettering instead of the symbol though. And the the wheels on the new one are way better

Hemi All The Way, I have 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 With 5.7l Hemi and I love it Has Hooker Exhaust And Man That Thing Has The Best Rumbling Growl Ive Ever Heard, I love it

Hemi is the way to go have 2024 glad got it before they came out with the v6 don’t think the 6 will stay together as long only time will tell

No way I'm giving up my v8 for a turbo 6 I think Dodge just screwed themselves

How does the new hurricane achieve start stop? Two batteries? Where are they? How does the new drive mode software work? What does it do to the truck?

As a Mopar owner, Stellantis has definitely made a huge mistake by ending the Hemi engine option. I own 4 vehicles with Hemi's and that is the number 1 reason for buying them. Now that they have cancelled the Hemi, I will never buy another Stellantis product. No one is going to pull up next to you and ask, Does that thing have a Hurricane in it?

Love my gen 5 and was anti the i6 but after talking to my ram mechanic, he traded his v8 in on a new one and loves it. He said waaay easier to work on, i6 has been around a while, loves the performance, and they're reliable. Idk....im driving mine until it blows up, then I'll either drop a i6 in or trx my limited, guess ill cross that road when i get there.

I think the best course of action is to buy another brand to be honest. I'm going to swap over to Ford.

The new hurricane doesn’t have any oil dipstick

How long will the turbo 6 last compared to the V8. My guess half as long as the v8 and twice the cost

Ben,when you get a look at a Laramie…see if they actually got rid of the headlight accent strips on top and bottom of the headlights.

Damn at first with the symbol I thought it was ram vs syclone! I should have paid attention to the title.

Long term and twin-turbo are mutually exclusive.
