Mines definitely no racer but I never feel like I'm lacking power. That's why I prefer diesel power, it has the grunt. I average at minimum 26 mpg on a tank with plenty of stop and go, but normally 27 or better. I've seen 30+ on many long highway trips. In 14 months I've put 53k flawless...
...and crappy exhaust manifolds, and the chatty spark plug job. That being said, I drove an 09 and it was flawless for 60k for me and then my brother in law just traded it in at 160l and it was still going strong.
Who cares? I've owned both, drive a 14 Ram 1500 eco diesel right now and it's the best truck I've ever owned. The eco boost makes nice power but they're a joke as far as mileage.
I had a 13 for 10 months and put 26k miles on it. I'd say hand calculated you can expect an average of 22-24 mpg if you drive at least 50% highway. The power was sufficient, and it didn't have any issues. Good combo. My ecodiesel gets about 27 average with the same mix but cost a lot more...
The pentastar packs a big punch for its displacement, and with the transmission it shines. As far as not liking the 8 speed compared to the 6 speed I don't agree with previous posters. I think they're awesome, they shift smoothly, get you better mpg's and keep you in the power better. I drove...
The tundra was the most recalled 1/2 ton on the road for awhile. Look into the air pump problems. The name Toyota doesn't necessarily means its anymore reliable.
Just test drive them both and make your decision. There's arguments on both ends, and each have valid points. The 6.4 is fun to drive, while diesels are nicer to drive in my opinion. You just need try them and decide for yourself.
Never liked the G8's. I did however like the last model Grand Prix gxp's. My mother owned one for 3 years and I drove it probably a half dozen times. torque steer was a ***** but they were ckmfortable and a sharp looking car. I'd still buy one as my work car to keep the miles off my...
I agree, you get more miles between oil changes on a diesel. You're changing yours really early unless you're working it all day. Plus anyone who says that the 6.4 hemi will get comparable mileage to a CTD is full of it. Towing or empty the diesel will get better economy. I happen to think...
I towed a ford ranger on a trailer with the one I had. I worked a little bit on hills but it was more than capable of the job. They drink when they're towing heavy tough.
I love my ecodiesel, and it'll trump the hemi for fuel economy but you're not going to get much luxury with the ecodiesel in your budget. you might be able to find a tradesman regular cab for that. You're going to have to go hemi or pentastar, and you're still not going to get a decked out...
