First year not good, it's going to need allot of growing pains for this all new engine to prove itself!!!, I would keep what I got for now, you got one of the last true Hemi's.Hurricane good..
Unless you don't like your '22 or are really excited for the face lift Ram 1500, I think you're better off keeping what you have for now. Arguments about whether or not the Hurricane is a proven engine aside, there is no escaping the fact that 2025 is the first model year of a minor redesign. History shows that most problems show up in that first year, and slowly get worked out in subsequent model years.The 25's are hitting the ground and the hurricane engine is standard, the hemi is out it looks like.
Haha...says you.Hurricane good..
There’s nothing new on the 2025 Ram that hasn’t already been in play since the 2021 jeep grand Cherokee L, since it’s using all that same tech now.Arguments about whether or not the Hurricane is a proven engine aside, there is no escaping the fact that 2025 is the first model year of a minor redesign.

But, are people using the Jeep for a hot rod/daily driver, or working it and putting it through a heavy work load day? Cruisin' and workin' are two differant things.There’s nothing new on the 2025 Ram that hasn’t already been in play since the 2021 jeep grand Cherokee L, since it’s using all that same tech now.
Digital cluster since 2023, new exterior mirrors since 2023 HD Ram, etc.
I quoted mikeru where he was putting the hurricane engine arguments aside, and speaking strictly to the other first model year redesign problems. None of which is actually new to stellantis vehicles, just new to the ram.But, are people using the Jeep for a hot rod/daily driver, or working it and putting it through a heavy work load day?

The 03 hemi is a diff animal than the 09+, they raised the cams location to the crank and thus we have all these lifter issues, then add the manifold leaks/broken manifold bolts. Stellantis did nothing to cure the lifter issues and for the manifolds (reportedly lifter redesign in 2017/2018) all they did in 19 was add steel reinforcements to the outside of the manifolds which do nothing (now I hear the manifolds crack instead of a bolt breaking). My wifes 23 wagoneer has the 5.7 etorque and has had zero engine issues thus far but we have had the air suspension throw a fit.If I remember correctly, Dodge put HEMI engines in trucks around 2003, and the worst years for the HEMI trucks were around 2011 or 2012. Many people believe the best years for the HEMI trucks were 2017 to the present. I didn't have any problems with the HEMI in my 2021 Dodge Sport, and I have not had any problems with the HEMI in my 2023 Dodge Rebel. (I wish I could say I have not had any problems with the Uconnect.) If it took about 14 years to perfect the HEMI engine, it seems unrealistic to believe that the Hurricane engine is not going to have a few serious problems for at least a few years. I plan to keep my HEMI truck for at least a few years before I decide if putting a Hurricane engine in a full-size truck is a good or bad idea.
