Pokey. Not for me.
"Output is 240 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque. That latter figure is 20 lb-ft more than the 5.7-liter Hemi gasoline V8 -- and in a pickup truck, it's the torque that gets the work done."
Apparently not. Boo.
" Ram estimates a 0-60 time of nine seconds for the diesel, versus 7.5 for the 3.6-liter gas V6 "
But the 270 ft/lb 3.6 does it in 7.5? torque shmorque
Horsepower is horsepower.
