Ram truck 426 hemi
Has anyone heard if they'll offer a 426 Hemi and a 3/4 and 1 ton truck? With Ford and GM coming out with a large gas motor haven't heard anything about FCA.

Ram 6.4 puts out upward of 500hp stock in some other applications so it seems there is some room to tweak the 6.4 before they roll out an entirely new engine. This seems more a case of Ford and Chevy/GMC catching up with Ram rather than the other way around. By far the biggest limiting factor to the 6.4 Hemi in the HD trucks is the horrendous tranny they paired with it (gear spacing, not reliability.... for once with Dodge/Ram). 2019 Rams are rolling out with a new 8spd tranny that should be a HUGE improvement.
:h Ford and GM are trying to catch up? You cannot compare a hot tune in a car to what a truck engine is capable. Not to mention the fact of the horsepower GM is putting out in their 6.2's in the cars or Fords coyote variants.
Catch up? Lol.
Have you driven a new GM 6.0 pickup? Pretty anemic by 2019 standards. 6.2 Ford will out pull it and now that Dodge finally pulled out of last place by dumping the schitty 6 speed trans, it will blow the doors off a 6.0 as well.
You missed where they were comparing hp from the SRT cars not trucks. That is the point I was making. All of the big 3 have much higher hp numbers in their cars.
That is like saying the hemi in a top fuel dragster is making 10k HP so there is a lot of room for gains in the current 6.4 trucks.
