Pentastar v6 Turbo is coming
Pentastar to get turbos and Direct Injection Interesting to say the least...Sounds like Ram may soon have not only a fuel efficient diesel in their line up but also a Turbocharged Pentastar... will...

Agree that it would be a "game changer" if they could get 33mpg in a SUV or RAM. But that 33 mpg was in a Chrsler 300.
Basically, I think they're doing what Ford is doing: replace their v8s with turbo v6s. So Ford is really the "game changer" here.
Seems like it could be mostly achievable for Chrysler to pull this off IF they work to put the 1500 on a diet. That still leaves for coefficient of drag to contend with when compared to a sedan.
But, see the trend forming? ;)
Smaller displacement with boost and reducing weight. Ford had the right idea but didn't fully refine it yet. We all know that really takes time but again, credit to Chrysler for being forward thinking too and not being arrogant because someone else already made moves in that direction.
Best wishes that this becomes a success story.
