2025 RAM 3.0L I6 Hurricane VS RAM 5.7L V8 HEMI MPG And Performance Test! Is The New Engine Better?

[@KubanKevin]

There’s been plenty of innovation to N/A engines. The problem here isn’t the manufacturers. It’s the EPA. a smaller turbo charged engine consuming the same or slightly better MPG is going to score better on the emissions tests. This is why ESS is a thing even on Ferrari now.

[@C-M-E]

Nailed it right there. Most vehicles with former low stress V8s will outlast turbo V6s by a wide margin, and the fuel economy is rated right at that same V8 for normal driving or even worse when pulling cargo/towing. The emissions are what are driving cylinder reduction in engine options. Manufacturers were buying carbon credits prior to adopting turbocharged engines, but that's going away too.

[@karlschauff7989]

@@C-M-E That all depends on how the engine is built. A turbo gas engine built with nodular iron cylinder liners, forged pistons, forged rods, forged crankshaft, beefy crank bearings and bearing caps... that engine can easily match the longevity of an engine like the 5.7 Hemi.

The 5.7 Hemi could have continued on but they really blew it when they decided to kick the can down the road and not modernize the 5.7 Hemi for the 2019 model year. They could have easily updated it with direct injection, a little more compression, and a revised cam to improve emissions and fuel efficiency. Look at GM, they're still making pushrod 16 valve V8's and announced that they are developing the next gen V8 for their trucks. I don't see why FCA/Stellantis couldn't have done the same.

It's an "older tech" turbo making only 100HP/L from a less sophisticated turbo and fuel system (port injected), but it's an absolute pleasure to drive. Near turbine smooth, power all over the RPM range, no vibration or noise. I would be the type who would probably prefer the inline 6, especially living at 7400ft elevation.

What exactly is it you think they could do to both improve efficiency and increase power in a NA engine design? Turbocharging is the natural evolution of innovation in modern engine design. Yes it adds another level of complexity but that is the price you pay. Time will tell if the reliability is on par with the HEMI. Wheel-spin on the HEMI due to no turbo lag. No oil starvation on deactivated cylinders, why would you think that deactivation of the cylinder would cause oil starvation on the cylinder walls? Fuel consumption will be pretty similar, they have got the HEMI so well tuned that it really does pretty good. My Limited averages about 20MPG in mixed driving.

Gearing is very important I'd like to see the engines compared with equal gear ratios. That 0 to60 would be very close . My brother and I both have F350s with 7.3 engines.

My brother's truck does get better mpgs though not as much as you would think, though he does have a heavy foot perhaps why.

[@robsolf]

The difference is from power delivering much earlier in the curve with the turbo system, where the V8 has to get to 4800 RPM before it finds its power band. Back in the old days of extreme turbo lag, NA V8's had the advantage. But much like auto vs. stick, the advantage has completely flipped over the past 10 years. Little to no lag means power is pretty linear from 2000 RPM on up on a turbocharged engine.

thanx for th comparison I have an old 2003 ram with 4.7 still running and a 21 challenger with 392 there is no replacement for v8 sound and feel funny thing the 392 gets better mileage than the 4.7 unless I'm gettin on it which is most of the time 😂 i will soon purchase another ram was wondering about the inline 6 and feul mileage if it's compatible will go with another v8 probably my last truck I keep things for along time and I'm pushing 60 I'll leave the ev for the youngsters

[@gladegoodrich2297]

I have owned a half dozen Hemis. My new 25 Hurricane SST will blow the doors off them. I honestly don't miss the V/8 noise.😊

[@rustypipes12]

My 2008 TRX 4 5.7 HEMI is still running strong. Not great fuel economy but I tow and haul a lot. I also paid $28k for it new. I'll drive it till the wheels fall off!

[@asbrandonsconcerned]

We'll see if the hurricane holds up in the long run. We've already seen fords ecoboosts, that aren't even making that much boost, dropping turbos and burning oil before 100k miles. The hemi will go 200k if it's taken care of properly and not idled to death.

[@cliffweinan3907]

Engine design ideas behind V8 MDS and I6 turbo are similar: change volumetric efficiency by driver and load demand. Most MDS systems have had valve train reliability issues, often so bad that drivers wanted their MDS systems to be hack delected. RAM now trying something different, hopefully to stay away from expensive poor valve train reliability.

[@barktwid7057]

I love my Hemi, but as a Heavy-Duty Mechanic that has worked on big diesels for 25 years, I'm not scared, at all, of an inline 6.

[@boomattack02]

All that time and wasted energy to be slightly faster and barely more fuel efficient than the NA V8 originally designed over 2 decades ago….. marvelous work there Stellantis 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@rkc8216]

My 2022 Ram 1500 with 5.7 etorgue, 3.92 rear is getting 20+ mpg locally driving. I disable the ESS and overide the MDS system. So all of the cylinders are always engaged.

[@1gr8oil]

@rkc8216......I have a 2020 RAM REBEL with 5.7 etorque and 3.92 gears, and I have never seen more than 17 MPG on the freeways. Just driving around, I get about 14 MPG! How do you disable the MDS system? Thanks in advance.

[@jdp3867]

You got a good one. I never break 20mpg on my 3.21 gears.

[@kevinvoyer5053]

IF I were to buy a new Ram 1500? Especially 4x4, i would go with a Hemi, with the automatic and 3:55 gears. In any of the trim levels. I’m interested in the times, I’ve never driven a late Ram, but have driven a Colorado Crew Cab 4x4, V6 now for a few years. With the timing equipment hooked up I was able to get a 0-60 time of 6.6, with 1/8 mile in 8.2@97 mph. seconds! The only other truck I’ve ran with timing equipment was a sweet 1996 Chevy C1500 short bed reg cab, with 5.7 Vortec 5 speed with 3:42 gears and G80 auto lock. That got me a decent 0-60 of 6.2, 1/8 mile at 7.9@99mph. The biggest difference between these two was efficiency, the late model Colorado get 17-25 mpg, while the V8 C1500 Silverado only got 14-20.

[@GortOnEarth]

If I wanted "quiet and smooth" I would buy a Lexus. Nice review if I was buying a truck and not intending to do truck things like pulling a boat or travel trailer, either way I wouldn't purchase either need a bigger truck to pull a 5th wheel so I'll just keep my 3 year old F250 a while longer.

[@SliderFury1]

Exactly. All these big power numbers are meaningless when a nicely equipped Bighorn barely hits mid-size truck payload numbers, and fully loaded top trims have less than my Volkswagen 🤣

[@kirkmiller9871]

When are the 2025 3500rams coming out with the new transmission?

[@lorentenold5372]

But how will it perform towing or with a heavy load in the bed? Can it work? Cause you don't buy a truck to just drive it around or you'd buy a car.

[@TheSchmed]

No plan for that motor in the Wrangler ?

[@ohioguy4326]

I just got a 2025, I had two hemi's prior and while I do miss the sound the Hurricane is a nice change. I will say The stop start does not activate hardly at all on the hurricane.

[@blackericdenice]

I wonder why they didn't make a 3 liter v8 twin turbo. It would sound just like the 5.7 v8 but burn less fuel @ light throttle.

[@2024hekyeah]

No it won't.lol smaller displacement will sound like a Ferrari and it will cost like 200,000 for a damn truck. Would you buy that? I know I won't

[@blackericdenice]

@@2024hekyeah How old are you? A cross plane 3.0 twin turbo v8 sound just like a cross plane 6.0 n/a v8. I guess you have never heard a Triumph TR8 run before. How is adding 2 cylinders going to kick the price up $110,000?

What i find interesting is the oil pressure being in the mid 40's on the 5.7 compared mid to high 20's when cruising on the inline 6.

[@mypronouniswtf5559]

@goated313 My Hemi's were always 30 the lowest and that was with 185,000 miles...Hot weather in traffic 30 was the lowest I noticed,usually 33 when hot.

[@2024hekyeah]

I love the hemi though. I got a 1500 with 3.92 rear. I just fill her with 89 all the time and drive her hard, let the oil splash everywhere all the time and I don't have a single tick. She runs so clean and even does the farts in between shifts, sounds awesome!

[@leedanielson7452]

You do an awesome job on these reviews!!! Thanks!👍👏🏻😊

[@roycrosier5325]

I would be happy with the Chrysler slant 6, maybe a bit more CID than 225, but no boosting. I have no need for speed and love the sound, reliability and economy of the old slant 6. You didn't mention if this new 225 inline is slanted or not.

[@bennettkremer7837]

How was that filmed. Very cool. Can't find same type of rig seen in viduo. Or what type of camera not seen. Thanks for any help.

[@tanside979]

look at the shadow on the hood.

[@FrenicX]

I noticed the Hemi has the E-Torque option, it doesn't add much but I wouldn't be surprised if it contributed to the wheel spin. Wonder how much better it would have been in the 0-60 with a grippier tire.

[@allanburt5059]

Where is the dip stick to check the oil on the I6 ?

[@kainhall]

Just a sensor that tells you when to add oil . 90% of drivers don't open their hood these days

[@Nick-nm8om]

What about if they put a turbo in 5.7 hemi ? The reason why I like N/A V8 is for the longevity, reliability. Compare the 2 engines when they've did the same type of work and over 150,000 miles.

[@Whenindoubtthottleout]

I’m happy with 5.7 2019

Bro please get your hands on 1500 with the GT package. I’d like to hear the difference between the 2024 hemi with GT package vs the 2025 inline 6 with GT package

[@2023DodgeRam]

I got my 2023 ram Laramie with 18 miles on it. I have 3300 now, halfway through 2024. Love the truck! Love the sound when I start it up, the drive, the inside is good quality 👌 unfortunately it’s looking like it will be my last Ram. I want the v8, seems like Dodge is stepping away from v8s

[@RandyTawney]

Y was the oil pressure so low ?

[@SoonerMikeD]

3:21 rear end killing that Hemi’s 0-60

[@JB_WhoWork]

Based off some of my previous runs, the 3.92 actually may hurt it with the extra gears… hopefully my buddy Matthew Anderson will explain this 👀

[@JT-ko3rv]

​​@@JB_WhoWork no chance I've owned and driven both plenty I can't stand the 3.21 gears but it's all I could find when I was used truck shopping. It was impossible to find the right truck with 3.92s. Ironically I bought the best used truck I could find because there was no chance of ever getting a 5th gen regular cab short box with a good engine lol. The 3.21 works at 80mph on flat ground 7th gear with 3.21 is almost the same as 8th with 3.92.

[@SoonerMikeD]

@@JB_WhoWorkthat’s interesting for sure. Especially just going to 60mph. Must just be a “seat of the pants” feeling with the 3:92 then if that’s all true.

[@matthewanderson9912]

@@JT-ko3rvit’s very possible. I’d have to look up the gear ratios of the transmission and then figure out the tire height but if the 3.21 say hits 60 mph in 2nd gear and the 3.92 has to shift to 3rd then I would have little doubt the 3.21 would be quicker to 60 mph. If they both hit 60 mph in the same gear then sure, the 3.92 is probably quicker.

[@vee950]

For that hemi I and how big and heavy the truck is 4:10s would be better just my opinion

[@killerb5726]

I would wait a few years to see reliability of any of these engines. Let them go thru a few updates and you’ll have something good. Also, wish they would get these to run on regular gas. My Titan recommends premium but runs perfectly fine on regular. I had an 06 hemi that I had to put 89 octane in or it would knock and ping.

[@johnnicpon5783]

Nice comparison vid. Have to wonder about the durability over the long term between the V8 and the turbo straight 6. Especially if you use the truck as a truck and not just a pavement princess. I like to keep my vehicles a good 10 years and at least 150k millage. I had a turbo 4 back in the 80's (Merkur Xr4ti, look that one up). Always had to change the oil religiously every 3k with special turbo oil. Had worry about the system coking up. Glad that they are keeping the 6.4 Hemi BGE V8 in the HD's, for now. But it is frustrating that they no longer let you get the gas engine in the higher trim levels or MegaCab. Makes NO sense!

[@cliffweinan3907]

OEM engine has recently been all about emissions and reliablity during Fed mandated emission warranty.

[@JohnSmith-ot9sc]

29psi of oil pressure? While driving?

[@comicracc1518]

The problem is you dont normally have a truck to use as a smooth drive. We use trucks for hauling, camping amd driving in woods. How does it do when towing? In the heat or the cold? My Turbo V6 ford Expedition sucked pulling a trailer. My V8 Ram 1500 does great

I've got a 21 RAM Rebel with the 5.7 eTorque and my salesman has been discussing the upcoming RHO, feels odd to be coming off a V8 to a I6 with 540 HP but I guess the Hurricane HO variant still gets the job done.

[@2ndgendreamin779]

Excellent video. Considering trading my 3.5 Ecoboost F-150 for a eTorgue Hemi Ram 1500, and I found this video informative. Only question now is do I wait for the Hurricane equipped 1500s?
