Then there is a hitch below the bumper that allows you to tow a trailer, thus more size and weight. 6.5' beds have been standard for pretty much forever. Long beds are also offered for people with other needs

Aka Tahoe-with fixed camper shell

Its a “the hood is only useful for checking fluids and not working on anything design” ala work van-which is what it looks like with the back roof lopped off

Ferrari said that too...

Yep, its literally the same as the CD player in my ‘13 Ram that is in the big compartment under the center console lid. Just mounted on the dash now

Pop tops were only on the 74-80 models. The 1st gen ones where all seats but the driver’s were optional

On the 4th gens the R/Ts are two seater reg cabs with the center console. Not sure if the DT will be the same

Its a carryover from the current player that is mounted vertically so its there to tell you that the label goes towards the driver’s side and not the passenger’s side

I’m thinking it will be used to boost low end torque that NA engines lack compared to their turbocharged competitors, but without the turbos. It will be interesting to see how its applied.

Dodge hasn’t had a bad truck transmission in 2 decades. Actually the REs weren’t bad either if you read the manual and used the right fluid and didn’t tow in overdrive like it said to. They’re really just a 727 with an OD in the tailshaft.

Definitely the best one. Funny how as CDs become less and less common, Ram moved the CD player back to the dash from under the console lid or bench seat like it was on the 4th gens

Hopefully the aftermarket will fix that, the way it offered non-crosshair grilles for the gen 1-4 Rams. I agree its not outdated, its a characteristic that has been changed with each generation

There is no vehicle as useful as a do-all vehicle as a pickup truck. Your comments about trucks, the people who own them, and those who make them imply that you have owned neither a truck nor an FCA vehicle.

In my experience the Hemi does better than its EPA rating while the EB does worse than its rating.

A side by side controlled comparison in a real world environment would indicate otherwise and demonstrate the EPA test’s lack of validity.

Have you driven both? Do you know someone who has? I have done it myself and know several others who have done the same. When the test is invalid then “anecdote” (i.e. actual experience) can give a better indication of actual performance.

The tests do not reflect real world driving conditions. I will agree that the TT6s do better in the EPA tests, but in the real world they do not

Ok, so like I said it is just coming out. I know people who drive similar commutes, and I know people who have owned both; I know from my own experience that Hemis can get over 23.
Its pretty simple, if you want to ride the horses you have to feed them:

You’re comparing the 1987-93 I-6 to the 1981-84 Windsor to get those numbers. If you actually compare the same model years, the Windsor 302 made 185 HP and 270 lb-ft from 87-93 compared to 145/265 for the inline. Comparing 85-86 model years the Windsor made 185/270 vs 120/223 for the I-6.

Not sure why you’re laughing, sixes lack it in the low end compared to 8s, and especially 10s
