...I am one who was upgrading to a 2500 and traded in a 2013 1500 Silverado for a 6.4 RAM, and one of the major reasons was the fact that GM is still using the 6.0. I just think GM is being left behind in that market.
Now, I may be a rare case, but only offering the 6.0 did cost GM a sale in my case. I would have stuck with Chevy if they offered the 6.2 in a 2500.
You know, once upon a time, the horse and buggy had a "proven track record" and still sold "well enough to be a competitive product."
Businesses have to continue to innovate or they get left behind and eventually die off. With a company as big as GM, it won't happen tomorrow, but they aren't immune. You would think they would have learned something about the importance of innovation from Toyota and Honda in the 80's and 90's.
So what specifically in the 6.4 made you want that engine? What are the results of that?
I get 18 mpg in my Express, was getting 17 in my HD with the 6.0. It has the power where I need it. The ability to run in V4 mode might be my only wish. I know that my 1500 spends lots of time there.
