Old thread being renewed I guess. I'll put a plug in for the Pentastar, I have 22486 kms since buying new in April. Great gas milage but again, if you put your foot into it for long periods it will suck gas. If you're not towing anymore than 7000 lbs the v6 will work just fine. The Hemi stock has 90 more BHP then the v6 and a lot more torque, that comes at a cost in fuel consumption. The technology gone into the combo of Pentastar and 8 spd tranny is truly amazing. Like others have said before in this thread, this v6 equals or betters the power of older v8's. Ok it don't sound or put you back in your seat like a Hemi, but while travelling with a buddy that has the Hemi I passed gas stations he had to pull into. Bigger is not always better, lol
