Horsepower is horsepower?
If that theory is true (in real circumstances), then a 385hp 6.7L Cummins diesel shouldn't spank a 381hp Toyota Tundra when both are tested 0-60 towing a 5740# boat. But it did. Must be the adva...

The Dodge website show $7795 + $500 + taxes + interest for the auto trans.That's pretty close to what I said. Factor in the cost of a 2500 vs 1500 and it's actually well north of $10K.
Huh??? Autotrans?? 1500 vs 2500?? Taxes & Interest?? What are you talking about? A 3/4 ton truck costs $30K more than a compact car too. So does it actually cost $30K extra to own that Cummins? If you're going to compare to a 1500, there is a mark-up for the Hemi that is standard on a 2500. I stated what I paid, not sticker price.
EDIT. I priced out a 2500 with all the options that I wanted. I then asked the salesman what a Cummins would cost me. He came back with a figure of $6K. I said to write up the deal. When he did, the $2K additional Cummins rebate came up. This was in late 2012.
