One year update on my 6.4L Hemi

BTW what is the horse power rating on that one?

I tow with one of those Fords with as few less ponies under the hood.

I also switched from diesel to gas and will never look back. Happier than a pig in slop here. :C

X2....I have always waited, not buying a first year model/engine. I am glad the 6.4 has turned out to be another good one!! The 5.7 Hemi is great, and it seems the 6.4 is similar, with improvements!:)

Great report guys. Another thumbs up for the current gassers being built.

Just a quick note to add a voice to the chorus.

I've got fewer miles so far, but I've been absolutely satisfied with my 6.4L 2500. It tows like a champ, just almost effortless, even on the hills. Not that my trailer is a challenge for it, to be fair. As a daily driver, it's been great. Better gas mileage than the half ton it replaced, towing or alone. And it rides well enough that my wife doesn't complain. THAT was a surprise.

It hasn't been back to the dealer for anything yet. Although I do have an outstanding recall for something in the gauge cluster. Haven't scheduled that yet. But no problems at all. Just an oil change so far. Tire rotation next time.

I'd buy the same truck all over again, if I needed one. It doesn't hurt that my Ram dealer is awesome, where the local Ford and Chevy dealers would charge me for blinker fluid and muffler bearings if they could get away with it. "Market adjustment" and "Advertising adjustment" markup, my a**.

Hope to have this truck for many, many years. And the first year is a good start towards it.

I was just thinking of the same thing as I'm about a month longer in to mine. I'm at about 21K and have no regrets. It's funny, towing I notice much less of a difference than as a daily driver. My towing experience with the 6.4 is nearly identical to the Duramax I came out of. As a daily driver the 6.4 is definitely a step slower than the Duramax (yes, it was completely stock). That diesel had just crazy "secondary" power. Meaning, it could accelerate off the line okay but when you really laid into it, could just flat out haul. The Hemi has power but just not as much. It's okay.... it's about time I grow up and stop racing everyone from stop lights :)

Overall, the Hemi is a great truck and I'm super happy with my purchase.
