Very simple explanation as Ram uses a very different method of determining both HP and Torque and you should know this Mr. employee of FCA. That is why GM vehicles always have beaten both FCA and Ford vehicles with having lower HP and Torque advertised ratings and the head to head tests reveal how true this is as some manufacturer's use their ratings numbers just for feel good advertising.
Exactly the opposite - look at Pickuptruck.com's dyno run, the 6.4 Hemi absolutely smokes the 6.0 GM:

GM: 276 hp, 311 lb-ft
RAM: 340 hp, 372 lb-ft
Your statement was somewhat true, back when Chrysler had horrible transmissions, like the 545RFE, or the 42LE in my old Intrepid. But modern 6.4 Hemi with 8 spd ZFs or manuals are dyno monsters.
You'll find most 6.4 Challengers putting down the same numbers as my LS7 Vette, even though mine was rated 20hp higher from factory.
