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]

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]

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

[@JohnDiMartino]

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.

[@jacobforeman9916]

I'm betting that's what the manufacturer gave them. Can't have the old v8 beating the new turbo 6.

Living in the past. Businesses change all the time. Toyota definitely dropped the ball with the 3.4. They say it’s fixed, but time will tell. I believe they likely have, but it’s an all North American truck. In the past the previous Tundra had the highest North American content of all the full size trucks. 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. They had huge catastrophic failures and I’m often very far from help in my adventures. I don’t want a breakdown out there.

[@225savage0]

The 09 is the best year ram ever had. It has the 5 speed. Not the 6 that have problems. In 09 it was posted everywhere how ram had the best suspension also. They still use this same suspension today. Ford still uses leaf springs in the back. If I wanted a heavy duty truck I would have bought a Cummins. I went with a smooth ride instead.

[@Eugen-E]

@@LeadStarDude And how does that final drive affect the oil temp ?!

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.

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.

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.

Great testing, thank you! In your opinion what can be done to the 5.7 to assist with cooling? Oversize radiator? Engine oil cooler? We have a 2015 sport 4x quad cab with 3.92 rear 8spd and plan to do more RV towing. Looking to get ahead of a catastrophic event or buy a 6.4...

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]

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.

I have a 2021 Ram 1500 Warlock with the 5.7 and have temperature issues when towing a 6500lb trailer on hills with ambient temps over 85 degrees. The oil temp raises to 275+ then the coolant temp rises as well. I have had to slow way down or stop in order to control the temps. This prompted me to install an aftermarket oil cooler and a remote oil filter that helped a lot.

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.

In response to myself. I wonder what the payload of one is, without the adjustable rear air suspension. That has to add a fair amount of weight, and thus detract from the payload.

[@JogBird]

@@johnschmalbach8243 the cybertruck has air suspension and has 2500 lb payload.. it might just be market segmentation.. they want you to buy an even more expensive truck to get the higher payload

[@johnschmalbach8243]

@@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.

[@richardgreen1383]

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.

@@TheUnorthodoxx Well, they do announce a time at the top of the hill (target is 8:00 minutes) so there would either need to be two stopwatches going or the onramp stopwatch would need to be stopped, shown to the camera and then restarted for the long climb, meaning that a few seconds wouldn't be recorded.

[@greggc8088]

Those nitrogen filled suspensions are a pain in the ice and expensive to repair and they do not last forever. 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.
