Instead, buy one 3 or 4 model years old (often coming back from a lease) for around 50% of the sticker then which may be 60% or more of a discount to the MSRP for the current model year.

I have never had issues getting good fuel economy out of turbo-charged engines. We have a 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe with 2.0L turbo that consistently gets 27 to 29 mpg hwy on the gas engine alone. Though a strong head wind does affect it more than other vehicles I've owned. I think mostly due to aerodynamics and weight of the vehicle with the hybrid batteries. However, with the hybrid drivetrain doing mostly in town driving, we have driven over 800 miles on a tank of gas in it. Most of the turbo-charged vehicles I have owned were/are all Mopars. My 86 Daytona Turbo Z consistently gets 24 mpg in town with a 3 spd automatic even when driving it pretty hard laying into that boost. And they have all been very reliable vehicles.

I have the trailer backup steering on my 2022 Ram 1500 and I use it with my toy hauler camper every time I take a trip. Is it necessary? No. Is it super nice to have? Sure is.

thx for the vid. great review. truck looks neat ... be honest this is in HD price territory so for me it just make more sense to get one of those at these price points ...

I built the machines, which assembly the Head Sub Assembly. I think Stellantis were putting the best components and process to the heads, they even use Plasma Spray. Engine is being Built in Saltillo North, right of the same spot that the HEMI line is located. The process started on 2021, so it has been long time we finally see the product out there. I guess it was a lot of validation on many different parts of the engine. It should be a great engine.

The small block v8 requires more fuel to maintain idle than the small displacement turbo engines. So it makes sense the smaller displacement engine is better at “downhill mpg”. When the small turbo displacement gets put under load “uphill”it acts more like a big block in power and consumption. NA small block with cylinder deactivation tried to due this but GM DFM/AFM failures and “Hemi tick” warranty repairs has scared OEMs away from messing with cylinder deactivation. Market wants MPG and power in new trucks.

I hope the hurricane works out. Straight sixes are great. Hope it becomes as iconic as the 4.0 inline 6.

They really do make a difference in stop and go and steady driving. With the 5.7 Hemi, the mileage has been pretty consistent and it doesn’t downshift/shift gears as often under load.

I am 100% for having an oil level sensor on any combustion engine. However did they really save much by omitting the dipstick? Make the dipstick optional I would pay an extra $50 for a redundant way to ensure my oil level is not low. The dipstick does not have any downsides and in reality it probably costs the manufacturer a few cents to add. Time will tell if the SST is going to be reliable. I suspect that after the first few years they will work out the bugs and it will be a fine powerplant. I still love my 22 Limited with the HEMI and this does not tempt me to trade it in.

Ram has really raised their game in the last decade. I hope this engine doesn't fall on it's face like most of their others. This could be a great time for Ram with Toyota falling on their face with the Tundra (and soon Tacoma). If Ford wasn't having some QC issues, THEY would be in first place but they slipped a little so Ram ... time to step up. Too bad Ram is clueless with their stupid high prices.

It has only been six months but so far I am impressed with the Hurricane TY Inline 6……..Power is there and very minimal turbo lag. Even cruising in mid 70’s the ride is solid, smooth and minimal road NVH. I still say that the inline engine and “centerline” thrust helps in cutting down vibration and noise. Granted mine is a Grand Wagoneer but definitely a decent engine. The lack of dipstick is definitely a “Zonk” In my opinion but a learning curve that eventually owners will adapt to. I was skeptical about the power running boards but again, I am getting Used to being spoiled. I have my HEMI fix with my Charger Daytona!! I feel safe and comfortable AA d as long as your eyes stay about 3-5 minutes ahead of the vehicle and traffic, you should be fine. My remarks are about the Hurricane engine and JGW, but same engine and is planned to be the next “Global Platform ICE with a simple addition of the two extra cylinders and the second Tirbo. One other drawback besides the no oil dipstick is the Direct Injection engine…..sorry fight all you want , but it’s the way of the future for ICE e gone to be the future as long as we fight to keep the option. 50-60-75K+ mileage engine could be a good investment in SeaFoam but until then should be turn and burn!

Depends what you mean on good or bad? A new turbo will get better only in certain driving situations.

The mpg calculation in these trucks is averaging recent instantaneous as far as I can tell. For instance using the trip meter in my 2022 between 400mi fill ups, the truck calculated 28.7mpg, old school gallons and miles driven, I calculated 25.7 - wildly different. If you want to know what your truck is really doing, calculate it yourself.

I just bought a used 22 f150, & don’t know how it was treated before I got it. Oil level has been ok, but I’m still checking it. My company truck is an f350 with the powerstroke diesel, i think it might be gaining oil, so I have some concerns about fuel dilution. I’ve seen more than enough modern vehicles with oil consumption issues leading to very costly repairs. I have no interest in joining them.

Man that Lone Star sticker alone must be worth 10 grand more, and everybody gets 20+ MPG on all of them trucks, the 5.3, 5.6, 5.7 6.2, 6.4, 6.5, 6.6 6.7 all of them 3/4 and 1 Tons Yeah Right call it what it is B.S. 425 H.P @ 15000 RPM if it don't Blow. No oil stick whoa the Bun Boys won't like that Lol

All those small displacement turbo engines, when you find it fast and get bad fuel economy, you are running it pretty hard and I don’t think they will last, but if you are sensible and get decent fuel economy, I think you will extend the life of that engine. The problem is when the second owner our third get one they really don’t know how it was really driven? So could be great or a lemon 😂

Always appreciate the content - more and more I feel conflicted about the new truck and suv reviews. I can only imagine what it is like for you and other reviewers who are trying to bridge the gap between genuine excitement around some features, while having to contend with pricing that is absent of reality along with questionable quality and a real absence of overall value. I suppose if you're the guy or gal sitting on $70K trying to figure out what to do with it and you love technology for the sake of it.. this is a great time to buy a new truck.

$67K for a bighorn is robbery

Just bought a GMC AT4 with the Mini diesel. So far great truck. Looked at ford but decided on the 3.0 diesel. Out of the big 3 doge is my last choice

Surprised to hear you refer to the onboard computer for fuel economy, they are notoriously inaccurate. My 2017 Ram & 2023 F150 are typically off by at least 2mpg. $67K should be a Laramie trim.

@@RAM-KINGOFTRUCKS That’s why I drive a 21 TRD PRO TUNDRA instead of stellantis trash. My truck can feasibly make it to a million miles with the original engine and tranny unlike the dodge junk. Yours also might make it to a million miles with about 10 engines and trannies if it doesn’t rust to pieces first. The iforce 5.7 is the best gas engine ever produced. That’s a fact. The dodge stellantis ram Daimler whatever junk you call it is total trash

Not having the dip stick isn't a big deal . l find myself not checking my oil anyways with the dip stick so maybe having the convenience of checking the onboard will be better for me

Glad it has analog gages,I would take that dumb step off the back , wish they would get rid of the dial shifter and go to center console shifter.

I'm glad I bought a 2019 for what I thought was a high price then. I wouldn't pay that money now,especially without the V8. No way.

You should really fill up and divide the number of actual miles per gallons to get true number. I find that on my 18 3500 the true number is always worse than what the computer shows.

Nice cheap seats for 80 grand wow I’ll keep my TRX monster

This Big horn/Lone star seems to be a dead ended rabbit hole in the RAM model line up.. I think the fresh model is the RAM REV for this class. RAM should make up its deficit in sales with the REV line up. The smart money will pass on the Big Horn all together and make the jump into the REV line up. Pricing will be the key on RAM wins or loses with the REV line.

I’m a big fan of the straight 6 cylinder engines. I had plenty of ford f150s and broncos and jeeps but this straight 6 cylinder has been proven not reliable early on. It will take a while to get them to be reliable.
