Ram is pretty far in the rear view of Ford + Chevy/GMC for the 2017 model year. At 385 the HP is 50+ behind. For most buyers torque is 100+ behind. I know with an Aisin you can get 900 lb/ft but let's face it, the majority of buyers are 2500 or 3500 non-Aisin folks.
If I were buying a truck to only haul major weight the Ram still looks great. But, the reality is most buyers use their trucks for towing AND daily driving. That 385HP rating is a HUGE negative compared to the offerings of the competition. 2 years and 8 months ago when I bought my truck the ho-hum performance of the Cummins as a daily driver made me opt for the 6.4 Hemi. I'm certainly not going to take a Cummins now with the new numbers of Ford/Chevy.
So, when is Ram going to answer? I suppose we have to wait for the 2018 model year? I really don't want to leave Ram. If for no other reason, I like you guys here on the forum
Come on Ram..... give me something!!
