Seriously, that's your representation of how 1500's are used? Lots of trees down here after the tuesday 70-80mph straight line winds, the dump/tree clippings drop off station was full of 1/2 and 3/4 tons loaded with broken trees

That's a 50ft lb tq deficit down low in the 5.0, you don't think that's significant? The 5.0 doesn't catch up till 3000 rpm, most truck that tow or are loaded down, since that's what many keep bringing up, need as much to as possible off idle and before 2500 rpm. Theres some that have posted...

Based on the number of empty ot lightly loaded 1500s I pass on the road, I'd say you're incorrect about that. Now, of the owners that heavily load their trucks, you may be correct but the vast majority of 1500s aren't heavily loaded. I had a 20' tree get blown in the storms Tuesday morning. I...

The question is did you?

See above, actual owner here reporting better than HEMI mpgs with an SO

I bet it drives better in the higher elevations too. I like the HEMI but it needed a major mid range torque boost and I bet your hurricane delivers exactly that

Snowflake lol.. you're the one whining and throwing a tantrum over the I6 while simultaneously removing all doubt about automotive knowledge 😄

He can compare because he previously had a hemi truck. His comparison would be the ultimate comarison due to the fact that some variables can be excluded. Same driver Same driving style Excat same route Multile years prior expirence with hemi powered truck over the same route Same or very...

Hmm good information from an actual owner and real use. Thanks

Not only that, their other problem is their main selling cars are all v8s. Their low emissions vehicles don't sell, The new hornet is an example of that. Ford sells a lot of cars other than their V8 mustangs and V8 trucks, they can afford emissions wise to keep the v8s while Dodge simply cannot...

Clueless

That's open for debate and time will surely tell but the simple fact is that the hemi is indeed gone. This is typical of dodge throughout their existence, never changing or continuing to innovate. Look how long the LA engines hung around. GM has developed the LS and now moved to the LT line in...

And still posting screaming at the sky, damn you hurricane, damn you to hell!!!

And the screaming at the hurricane in the sky continues... Posts 3 more times since deciding to stay away

Fuel economy isn't the same thing as miles per gallon. An engine making more power with the same fuel consumption of a lower power engine is more fuel efficient, ergo, economy. Notice that I specifically did not say MPG. Another swing and a miss. As for staying away from this thread, you...

Exactly, it simply performs better and makes more power with the same fuel consumption

Which is all anyone has said. I've not seen anyone say the mpg was better

Aren't most here with a rebel getting 15mpg or less?

No, no one expects that and you stated your opinion. Here's where it turns; you continue to spend time in a thread about people wanting to buy the new truck/engine trying to tell them why the new engine is already a failure while spouting BS that exposes your clear lack of understanding on how...

No. One is factory stock, the other aftermarket modified with no warranty
