I’ve been looking at new trucks lately. I’m not even giving Ram a chance. It’ll most likely be a Ford with a 5.0. I would love an F150 Lariat with a 7.3l V8!
@@bmasontv The one TFL ran had a 392 rear end in it. If you were in one of the cheaper trucks without a towing package it wouldn't have that gear ratio, but would get better MPG because of the lower RPM at highway speeds.
I'll be bringing mine to the drag strip recently. This is a ripper when launching properly. sport mode-brake it to about 3k RPM to spool up the turbos, release the brake and smash the throttle. you'll see!!
I should put a little context to this. This is my 3rd ram and was very apprehensive of buying(leasing) this new one without a Hemi. When I first got it, I was disappointed in the performance and wondered where the power talked about was. This was designed for being a fuel economy beast, so it's set up that way with daily driving. Once I learned how to launch this beast it became the most fun truck I have ever driven. It absolutely rips when you know how to get it to the power band quick.
I have also wondered why there is no owner content out on the new Ram 1500 Hurricane 6. Lots of review content but it seem like no one is buying the new Ram with the Hurricane 6. If people are buying them they are keeping pretty quite about it!
Scuttlebuttton says Dodge, Jeep, and Ram will be broken off to separate owners, but that's just buzz at this point. Maybe this will bring back the Hemi, who knows. Hard to consider any 6 Cylinder a Hot Rod IMO, even though there are fast V6s out there.
I also saw American trucks ram, RU-vid channel did one of their shorts videos with a DT 5.7 ram and a standard output hurricane ram back to back Dyno video. Hemi put down 326 HP and 338TQ, the hurricane put down 373 HP and 422TQ!
Hey Professor B! I did just see that Motortrend did their first test of a standard output Laramie crew cab 4x4. Curb weight was a little over 5600, they did not list the gearing but it ran a 5 sec flat 0 to 60 and a 13.7 at 98.3 mph! I was waiting for a reputable source like them or car and driver to get performance numbers.
@@dangovern1163 that is an unreal zero to 60 but it looks like it is hitting a hard speed limiter through the quarter mile. I would be interested to see what the 8th mile ET and mile per hour were. That 5 Second flat 0 to 60 is absolutely nowhere near where the truck that I drove ran. It's also not walking in lockstep with the other video that I saw from the guy that put the truck on a dragon, but I believe he's at altitude and I can also promise you that truck was on 87 octane, so his result I would probably not count as valid, because it went 0 to 60 in the 7 second range. If however that truck is capable of that level of performance when running the right gasoline, that is a very impressive result especially if it's hitting a speed limiter up top
Dodge/Stellantis there New TT Hurricane 6CYI engines are still having major problems blowing up !! From Fail Headgaskets, Camshafts, Oil pump failure and the crankshaft Snapping in half !! Which is not good at all !! 😤😤🤬🤬🤦♂️🤦♂️👎👎👎
The Fast Lane Truck has a video where the 420 hp 180 inline 6 did 0 to 60 in 5.7 seconds. Just because there are no videos don't mean the truck is weak. I think you were just mad because it don't sound like a v8. You can't drive a truck with 468 lbs-ft and it feel slow. My 2016 F150 2.7 has 375 lbs-ft torque and soft is not a word I would use.
@@blackericdenice um, you've clearly not seen any of my other content on this engine have you? Lol. I drove one of these hurricane 6 trucks, I draggy tested that truck, and it was slow. Check out some of my other content and come back and let's chat about that
@@blackericdenice didn't do a video for the draggy test, only draggy data was collected. 0 to 60 and 6.33 seconds which although not embarrassingly slow is significantly slower than the tfl test. But significantly quicker than other tests that I've seen with that truck. I have been a huge proponent of that engine going back quite a ways, plenty of content on my channel to pick from, just pick any one of the videos with the hurricane 6 as the thumbnail. I've also defended it heavily on my live show. As a matter of fact I will be discussing it tonight. But I have to ask, why the comment about it not sounding like a V8? Are there really people out there that have that complaint?
@@blackericdenice as a kid one of my neighbors had one, used to love when he would take me for a ride in that thing. From my youth, the most iconic performance cars all had 6 cylinder turbocharged engines. The supra, the stealth, the cyclone, the typhoon, the Grand National. Then enter the 4 cylinder turbo charged offerings, the eagle talon the conquest, the srt-4. The list can go on and on...
The obvious answer is because they are overpriced. Stellantis is selling all CDJR vehicles 30% above inflation with a total of 50%. No one is buying these vehicles right now. There are a few truck review channels, but not creating content in the performance related content. There is currently over 25k 23-24' year model ones and 25k 25' year models with over 400 days of supply.
