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.

[@ericbaxter4195]

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. 😉

[@seanbutler2291]

It's kind of a waste of time trying to explain this concept to people such as yourself. Some of us want vehicles that are reliable and that just work. I would dare to say most of the population are like that. You obviously have a little bit of fuck around money which means you can afford the cost of repairs. Lets not sit there and act like your BMW is anything relating to reliable, you know it's not I know it's not let's just not do this bullshit where you pretend. Pickup trucks need to be reliable. Turbos are the antithesis to that. You can easily make a hemi 100% more powerful than what it is in stock form. Pickups are tools. They may have become luxury monstrosities. But at their heart they are tools. And I just need my tool to work.

[@johnnicpon5783]

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.

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

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.

[@seanbutler2291]

It hasn't even been out for a year and he says it's reliable...... How the fuck would he know. The problem is people like you think reliable is getting to 100,000 MI. Where I come from if it can't do two or three hundre plus thousand miles it's a fucking turd.

[@seanbutler2291]

Also how would he know if it's easier to work on unless it's already having fucking problems that is not a good sign.

[@seanbutler2291]

Pretty much everything about your comment does not put me at ease it actually makes me hate that engine even more. Like red flag red flag red flag red flag

[@reignfire85]

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).

[@PKDesigns2011]

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

[@1gr8oil]

@piotrk1047.......The base 3.0 HURRICANE does NOT require 91 OCTANE fuel, only the HO SST 3.0

[@mikelreyna878]

I ordered a 24 bighorn with the hemi, 3:92 rear end, off road package, towing package, and level B equipment (big screen & alpine system). The hemi without the 3:92 axle ratio just isn't the move. Looking to upgrade intake, exhaust (borla atack) and Diablo pcm. I would not trade my truck for that new bighorn. However, I am peanut butter and Jelly it comes with the elusive fender flares 😔

[@mikelreyna878]

She's at 20k miles and has just been a dream. I also want to replace the front bumper. I don't like how low the front end is. And will level it. 🇺🇸

[@waynepady2462]

i will stay with my 2022 5.7. for me its great fuel milage is pretty good depend how you drive it

[@docshiffer]

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.

[@rebeccarobinson7024]

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

[@Wes.berryman313]

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

[@BloodAlwaysFindsItsLevel]

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.

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.

[@leedanielson7452]

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

[@ksorsomeplace]

How can it be any better at emissions? It's not CO2 according to the sticker. What emissions specifically are being reduced?

[@tonybernheim8365]

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..

[@bajaboy27]

It accelerates better empty, what about under load? Or while towing? As it is it's already bad on fuel economy. And whats the price? $50k+ At that price I would much rather get a tradesman diesel 3500 which would get me a much better fuel economy.

[@donblaschko9022]

Is it a good farm truck

[@Gumby905]

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

[@raulgodines367]

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

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?

Why did ram blank out the top left and right screen on the new ram?

[@TheTyson35]

Dope comparison 👍🏾👍🏾

[@Bob_Weir617]

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 $?

[@LocoF111]

Same reason they dont call the tundra a T150

[@440-6Pack]

But did both the Hemi and Hurricane trucks have the same axle ratio??

[@gladegoodrich2297]

The Hemi was great but love my new 25 Hurricane. Time to move on from the past.😊

[@speedicusmaximus]

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 !

[@BenHardyCars]

More reviews coming

[@nordlandak6853]

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?

[@seanbutler2291]

What does any of that matter you delete that shit, none of that is good for the engine I don't care what engine it is that start stop crap is guaranteed to wear out your engine faster

[@nordlandak6853]

@@seanbutler2291 it matters where they put that second battery. In the gladiator it’s difficult to get to and fails within a few years. Vehicle won’t run without it.

[@lonewanderer3603]

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.

[@MultiSmurf67]

nothing works like a NA V8-it makes power like nothing else. that is why they are still around after 80 years

Better or not no dipstick I am not buying. Engineers need to stop taking the basic options from us to maintain the engine. If you have a major problem you would have to drain the oil to see if there is gas or coolant in the oil.

[@thezone3946]

i like the old styling better, the powerplant...well we all know the first year of any new model is not a great idea. most of the time when hunting for a used car we avoid the 1st model year. Turbos are cool, but the maintanance and longevity are not the same as a simple pushrod v8 , i would skip the hybred system ones tho.
