Yes, exactly, thank you
I'll try to retract my statement abit regarding the " gutless ", i used the term a bit loosely. It's a powerful motor, but Dodge did a bad thing by putting a less powerful motor in the 2500 than they did in the 1500. The power should be on par, the 6.4, in order to work on paper needs to be between 450HP, and 465HP, with close to 480ft-lb, why they chose to go this route is beyond me.
Of course, that's only because we CAN compare it to the 5.7, so they kind of shot themselves i the foot. This is why I'm always at a loss as to why so many people chose the 6.4, YES, it's a hemi, yes it's awesome, but based off the number we have to go by..
for daily driving, its just not decent (imo) , I say this because I was dead set , like that's what I was getting , had me cash ready and everything. The turbo lag killed it for me, its just not what I expected. Maybe the same will happen to you
You'd be surprised. I went to a dealer to specifically purchase a speced out Cummins , I drove it and hated it
, the 6.4 CAN tow just about anything, it's that chasis that makes that possible, not the engine. POWER for pulling requires .. well.. power, the power the 6.4 puts out, versus the power puts out makes the 5.7 1500 a better choice for loads under 10k# , of course people are entitled to opinions regarding what FEELS better. I merely pointed out that people saying they can FEEL more power in the 6.4 would be mistaken, as it has LESS power. This wasn't a debate over hauling anything, the HD is an HD for a reason, I'm on board with that. I did however point out ( with facts ), that the 6.4 gas motor in the 2500 is underpowered, and, it is. That's because we have to , thats what the initial discussion was regarding. Why dodge chose to do this, I don't know, but the facts are facts, regardless of how you want to phrase is.. This was a huge problem we had with the election, people don't always LIKE facts, but facts don't discriminate. Facts show what I said, my opinion says the 5.7 1500 is better for hauling loads under 10k#, due to the MORE power it puts out.
