What really bugs me is the small percentage who get the entry level 3.7. The base Ford 3.7, Ram 3.6, and the new GM 4.3 V6's are far superior and much more powerful than base V6's from 5 years ago. For most people in my neighborhood and workplace who use half ton pickups for hauling kids around, these 300 horsepower base V6 engines would be great (except they sound terrible compared to the V8's).
I think one of the major barriers to many people opting for the base V6 engines is that they were only offered in base model trucks, and the vast majority of people want the higher trim levels.
Ram has changed that though as you can now get the base V6 in an otherwise fully loaded 1500 series truck.
RAM WILL OFFER PENTASTAR V6 IN TOP TRIM LEVELS
