Hemi 6.4 Ram vs Ford 6.2 (gas)
Before I do comparisons on these two engines, has anyone already done research on this... feedback would be great and perhaps save some extra time. Thanks for the input!
Forum Discussion
Some of these discussions seem to center on the initial cost of the diesel truck as the main factor in the selection. I recently purchased a 2011 Ram 2500 SLT like new for $31,500 (37,000 mi.) It is head and shoulders above our old 2002 2nd.generation CTD (comfort and power mainly).
We just returned from a 240 mile drive and I hand calculated my towing mileage at 14.3 mpg with our 2012 Cougar 276 (8500 lb loaded) on I10 and I75 here in Florida. Also, I purchased a premium 5 year/ 100,000 mile extended warranty for $2081 that is through our credit union (zero deductable) for ease of mind.
I plan on using the truck for mainly hauling, with the 4 cyl Pontiac G6 for groceries etc. Once again, at time of trade or sale, (a LONG ways off), I'm sure the Cummins will once again pay for itself. I'll take the Cummins any day thank you very much.
I know this is off the OP thread, but as others have mentioned each platforms merits, I just wanted to add my $.02.
