Rams new 6.4 HEMI
Anyone own a HD Ram truck with the new 6.4 Hemi? Looking for some real world experience with the new Hemi. Can't seem to find one on dealer lots. Thanks

\"If there was one on-road aspect all judges could easily agree on, it was the underwhelming power from the 6.4L Hemi. With a rating of 410hp and 429 lb-ft of torque, we all felt like there should have been a better power-on-tap feel. Instead, the truck constantly downshifted to provide extra gearing to compensate for the power that just wasn’t there. An eight-speed transmission might be a good answer to the underwhelming power problem, or you could always opt for the torque-rich Cummins diesel option if your funds allow.\" :(
