Hey everyone.
New to the forum and had a few questions from existing ram owners. I currently have a wrecked 2007 Toyota Tundra. Insurance is totaling it out and I need another truck.
I've done some research on here and online. I'm looking for a 05 or 06 1500 4x4. After looking online I'm torn. The current truck is an automatic. The two things I'm looking at is the 5.7 hemi has 345 horse but only comes in automatic. The 4.7 is 235 horse but 6 speed manual. I kind of want a manual but don't really want to sacrifice that much power. Is the gas mileage a really big difference between the two? If the 4.7 has a lot of power and lower gas mileage that might sway me. If the gas mileage is close to the same, 15 or so, then why lose that much power just for an automatic?
Just curious what the existing owners of the trucks think? I'm also not above doing some mods to beef up the 4.7 manual if it would make a difference and be worth it.
