The mistake by Ram truck with the use of turbos is no exhaust brake period don't tell me you can't design the piston rings to handle the higher pressures involved with this. Also that will in turn reduce fuel dilution from bypassing the rings on direct injection engine.

Comparing a 3.21 Hemi with a 3.92 Hurricane is not a valid test in my opinion.

@DonutGuy-2000 Ай бұрын

Needs to be a 3.92 Hemi in the comparison. Brake applications would have been less, most likely more power uphill, less full throttle and lower oil temp.

@M113H Ай бұрын

Plus, they're testing them at high elevation, which further benefits the forced-induction (turbocharged) Hurricane. Not a fair comparison!

@JohnDiMartino Ай бұрын

Hey Mr Truck, you repeatedly say a 3.92 is going to hurt fuel economy on the Ike towing,it does not! Stop misleading people,it may hurt it slightly on flat ground empty at highway speeds,that’s about it. It’s just going to be a gear higher than a 3.21 truck on the pull,it’ll roll out easier, driveline life will be longer especially when loaded since the lower gearing puts less stress on the transmission ,tcase and u joints getting going. . These trucks are bricks they aren’t going to get good fuel mileage above 60 mph irregardless of the gearing,due to aerodynamic drag,. ,so you should get the pulling gears if your going to be doing towing and off roading.

North American problems will show up. I like the current Tundra a lot! Would likely buy a Double Cab, SR5 TRD Off-road. I’m gonna wait another year though.

Pretty much like the old air rides, when one component fails you might as well replace it all-compressor, shocks, lines, etc or you'll just be constantly breaking it down to work on it. The real pain is charging the system and getting the fill procedure to complete. Rub your tummy, at your head, hold your mouth right, curse out all the engineers, and then cry a little. Give me springs any day and I'll modify the rear suspension to for the job it's got to do.

So umm, if that 5.7 Hemi truck really has the 3.21 rear differential then you guys overloaded the truck… The 3.21 ratio crew cab 4x4 trucks have a GCWR of 13,900 pounds. You showed that truck had a payload of 1588 meaning it weighs 5512 empty. (gvwr is 7100 then subtract payload for curb weight) plus the trailer at 8800 is already over without adding the two of you in the truck… you guys were probably close to if not over 14,500 pounds gcwr. It obviously did the test okay but I’m bummed to see you guys missed this important fact. You guys made a video about how the J2807 standards are set so it feels wrong and a little unsafe to me that you guys are exceeding it here. Especially if you’re trying to compare it to something else.

They did it because it's cheaper. The engine is a 6 cylinder version of the 2.0L I4 but buffed up a bit. Both are built on the same assembly line in Mexico, and besides the cheap labor I6s will always be cheaper to make since it's only one bank of cylinders. The Hemi wasn't compliant with emissions for cars and the 1500 anymore, but since Stellantis wanted a cheap way out they made this instead of upgrading the Hemi or turning the Pentastar into a V8. They could have upgraded the 5.7 and gave it 4Xe for the 1500 (the TRX/RHO would actually work well for a 1500HD type application with the 6.4) and still gave these other options, but it's Stellantis... what else would expect from them.

It's never fair comparing turbocharged to naturally aspirated vehicles on The Ike. The NA engines are down 30% from sea-level power, and the turbo engines are still close to sea-level power. I like turbocharging and inline 6's, but did Chrysler have to make it so small in displacement? (Yes, to meet the CAFE targets.) Long-term durability I think will not be as good as the 5.7 Hemi. The engine has to work twice as hard all the time to move the truck the same way that the Hemi did. A 4.0L turbo Hemi inline-6 would have been a cool engine for the application. Chrysler could still have marketed the Hemi name and had a downsized engine for better fuel economy that would not have been as heavily stressed as a 3.0L engine. The V8 got 20% better fuel economy on the uphill than the turbo 6. I guess those old-tech pushrod engines aren't so bad after all.

I just bought a 2025 Ram 1500 with the Hurricane Big Horn. 3:92 gears. Traded my 2021 Big Horn 1500 with the 5.7 Hemi. 3:21 gears. Although the Hurricane is impressive for what it is, I miss my Hemi and regret trading it. From my experience with it the past 3 weeks the fuel mileage is about the same. Feel like the eco boost guys are winking at me now that I have a similar engine like they do.

@Jay-me7gw Ай бұрын

Give the truck some time to break in. I would say it was almost 5000 miles before my 2014 Ecoboost fully loosened up. I did a cross country trip with 1200 miles on the odo and got 13 mpg but once I was 5000+ miles it rarely got below 16.

Yeah. They seem to be doing that lately. I have a 2.0L turbo Jeep Wrangler and it’s the same way. It’s for MPGs. It will cycle between the low and then high, like 40-50psi, at times. When you’re on the highway using cruise control, you can see the MPG decrease when the oil pressure changes.

@johnschmalbach8243 Ай бұрын

@@JogBird apples and oranges. You really can't compare a Cybertruck to a gasoline Half ton. Yep the Cybertruck has more payload but the 1/2 tons can be spec'd to have more towing. The Cybertruck is a very different beast because of the lack of a transmission etc. A Ram 1500 is a Ram 1500 frame, transmission, axles etc. Then you add different stuff on, skid plates, air shocks and compressors etc. the GVWR goes up, the payload drops. Like my Ranger. I got the Sport, and not FX4, because I have no interest in off-road. I wanted to tow a travel trailer and not have the wayward handling of the FX4 suspension. Not getting the FX4 gave me almost 1600 lbs of payload (1561) and not the 1400ish of an FX4.

In their discussion of air bags, they talked about over the road trucks have air bags and air seats, etc. My next door neighbor is an over the road trucker and his previous truck had an air leak he could never find. When he parked the truck over the weekend, it would sit down on the stops and he would have to wait a few minutes while it got enough pressure to raise the truck up to it's normal position. He did not have any issues on the road with the engine running, just when he parked it when at home.

lol Love how he announces the time, and then shows the camera the timer and it is still running. But admittedly, that was only the on-ramp merge for each truck. He did stop the stopwatch at the top of the grade both times. Maybe he thinks the timer has to keep going on the on-ramp merge, to time the entire run all the way to the top without interruption.

For whom willing to buy/prefer the V8 Hemi: Hemi have a big camshaft lubrification design flawn (I know by experience 😢). So, around 200k kilometers Hemi tick start to occurr with fuel consumption raising year by year, until premature engine failure (usually around 200k km, due to camshaft/lifter excess wear)

The air suspension I agree should be in every truck. I have it on my ‘22 limited but I live in the coldest spot in Montana and this winter the suspension froze up and I couldn’t drive the truck for a day or two. Shouldn’t be a problem for most people but something to think about for those who live in the north.

What’s the gear ratio on the Hemi, 3.21 or 3.92? Same question for the inline 6. Plus the tire size difference between the two. Would rather see two completely similar trucks for the comparison. Also you borrowed the Hemi truck. Was it filled with 87 octane and not the recommended 89 octane. This will also change the results a good amount.

I can tell you now that 4 seconds was more due to the rear end ratio. The 3.92 gears are going to do a lot better than the 3.20-3.50. The power level is pretty much the same. 20 hp power or so.
