Ram Power Wagon MPG (6.4 Hemi and 8 speed)
TFL just ran a test. 70 mph in a Tradesman Power Wagon. They got 16.5 mpg hwy. The mpg display and the hand calculated figured agreed too BTW. VIDEO
They got an 8.1 sec 0-60 at a mile above sea level too with the 8 speed. The 2017 Power Wagon was 9.7 sec 0-60. That should make a 2500 without the power wagon pkg in the 7 second range 0-60.
I had people tell me I was full of it when I said my 6.4L Hemi could get 19 mpg hwy. My 2500 6.4L Hemi had highway tread tires and was not lifted like the PW is, and I was running 100 Km/h (62 mph) which is the speed limit here vs the 70 mph they ram their test at.
Can't wait to see what they come out with next in the HD gas engine area. Rumor mill says they have a 7.0L V8 in testing (which just happens to equal 426 cu in). I think they took the 5.7L Hemi away as an option in the 2500/3500 trucks because the 6.4L will be the base engine and the 7.0L Hemi will be the upgrade option.
