An inline 6 is so vibration free when you first drive them it feels like they aren’t running. They make peak torque from 1400rpm straight to redline and the depth of your wallet is the only limiting factor in power potential. They just make power everywhere, down low, midrange, up top, if you’re in the right gear you hit the gas and go!

That way you can have some fun and mod your car instead of putting all your money into a payment. And don’t think those B58’s aren’t going to have leaky gaskets and problems when they’re hitting 120,000 miles, easy to talk about reliability with 40,000 miles and two years of warranty left.

Going to walnut blast it next year, do the oil filter housing gaskets and a valve cover and gasket at the same time preventatively maybe $1000 for all that and the year after that I’m going to do a turbo upgrade and while I’m down there I’m going to do the oil pan gasket.

I'm going to pull the trigger on a new truck here in the next two weeks. I have HATED the Hemi in the Dakota / Durango / Ram / RAM lineups for 20+ years now. I would NEVER have bought a RAM with the Hemi engine. I'm so glad they finally released the Hurricane. There is nothing else out there like it. I was about to trap myself into a Ford EcoBoost but they are riddled with problems. I think I'm going to buy the RAM; and they are currently $14k less (Big Horn Level 2) than the F150 (XLT 303A). Great video. I love this powertrain so far.

My problem with the hurricane is that the tuning market will rule it out. If I want to build a straight 6 and boost it. I can boost a gm 4200. For cheap, and build huge power with just an ls derived head. The problem is, we can build better sixes that are proven in the field and on the track, for a fraction of the cost. I just don't see this motor being worth it to real motorheads.

Preach brother! The majority of the truck market customers have been struck on V8s and believe this new hurricane isn’t as good. But coming from being interested in tuning and having some background and knowledge with BMW tuning and their engine platforms potential. This engine in an American truck has me very excited to see the power potential with mods and tuning. This engine has the same specs and technology that the bmw engines have that are easily capable and reliable handling big power at higher rpm. I would love to be a part of creating a big single turbo kit for these, especially for the new RHO truck owners where they can most likely make enough power in mods to beat the predecessor 6.2TRX. Then make people realize these engines aren’t a joke. Also in hp numbers, we’ve always wanted to see a 6.4 in a 1500 Ram. The HO Hurricane power number wise is like putting a 6.4 in a 1500. And it’s about time.

[@haydenpayne179]

This is the same situation with the ford 3.5 ecoboost years ago. Everything on paper was better than the v8, but it sounded terrible and wasn’t reliable, so nobody cared for it. However I6 sounds better than a v6, we’ll have to see on reliability. I do remember driving a Taurus sho once with with the 3.5 ecoboost and it was a lot of fun; I always thought it would he cool to put it in a mustang, so I am excited to see the hurricane in the charger/challenger. Btw I drove a wagoneer with the I6 and it does have kick ass performance.

Talking about electrical issues with the new hurricane engines, some concerns about the engine not having an oil dipstick, and then also as you mentioned the issues of a first year engine. It is enough to raise an eyebrow but I always like to wait to see what quirks are worked out and if any potential issues are worked out before giving my complete thoughts.

I guess we'll have to see it installed in a performance car, see how it performs and holds up, and let time speak for it's reputation.

I have always looked at motors like springs. You can make any spring almost act like another when you twist it a bit tighter. And it probably will work for a while. But almost without fail, that spring WILL SNAP. When it does, and in this case a motor, when it does, what else will it take with it? I would rather have just a regular EFI over twin turbo's because when they fail, and they will, how much will it cost to replace. They run harder, work harder, etc, putting more wear and tear on the tuner engine in your truck. I'll take a less wound up V8 that I can work on. Lower RPM's, less wear and tear, especially in high temp regions.

Yeah but BMW is junk so there is that.

​@susanestes418 is this the same bmw that use to make 1500hp out of a 1.5 liter turbo 4 for f1 in the early 80s, is this the same bmw that made the engine for the first 240mph super car in the early 90s, has dodge ever done that😂

Racer X friend keep up the great work 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😃😃💪💪👍👍👍

[@speedfiend925]

Hi Racer X, I can definitely agree that the Hurricane has some nice punch and if memory serves me there are two available in the Wagoneer and I drove the base one via a rental and it had punch. However, I am hearing RAMs with that engine are having all sorts of reliability issues so this is why I would have considerable reservations owning one.

[@carboydorifutoparty3976]

Well. I'll say what I've have heard as of late being a major issue. So basically, there's a thermostat issue that is causing engines to overheat/blow because a cheap plastic piece within the thermostat snaps and sits in place preventing the engine from cooling down. This is happening at very low mileage (5-20k mile)wagoneers with hurricane regardless of the variant in the car. It's getting fixed and dealers are addressing the issue,so I'd wait for them to recall them first or wait another year before buying them(tho other issues seem to be electrical with the wagoneer that may pass over to the new 1500s).

[@terrylbateman4030]

Well my friend I'm disappointed in what the people who have done to Dodge Challanger an Chargers and with the hemi

[@GeneralEOD]

I hope the next owner of Dodge has the same interest and desire as that of v8 Hemi enthusiasts of today and yesterday.

[@ramcharger1978]

Does this hurricane have an oil dipstick???

[@zilksmooth]

Hello no

[@-donkey_696_]

Big problems there

[@Livefreewhileucan]

Was towing for years with a silverado 5.3. I love V8’s . But I recently got the 3.5TT ford, wowsa all I can say. I could tow my truck and trailer and it would feel the same as the 5.3 towing just the trailer. Do not under estimate the twin turbo 6 bangers. And there are plenty with high mileage, they are proven. My sons 2012 first gen has 265k and running like a champ

I hate hurricane engines hemis are more better

Based on?...

[@michaelramsey3986]

The more cylinders the sweeter the sound, my S.R.T.10 dodge truck is music, but the best engine sounds I've heard was the v-12 jaguar I tested in 1975.

[@JeepCherokeeful]

V12’s are awesome!

[@ISLAMICSTORIES13]

i dont like v10s and I5s. too high pitched IMO. inline 6 and v8 and v12 are great. BMW S54 in the E46 M3 , and the lamborghini murciealgo v12 is probably my all time favorites.

The wagoneer has been out 2 model years, and they are still having major electrical issues
