    THE DEMON IS BACK! Meet The 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170

    I foresee many v6 cars running rear flares only... Sweet car. 1FAST29 was apparently a nod to the 29th state (Iowa - producer of the most ethanol) per TFL video with tim.

    Jeep® Adds Hurricane Twin-Turbo Power To Its Base Model Wagoneer

    Its not far off as it is or may already be better than timberline. Series II Off Road won four wheeler of the year over the Tahoe Z71 and Sequoia TRD Pro.

    Hurricane for RAM and GC

    For the reasons explained in my initial post #40. None of us can be sure of the the payback ? now that it was never done. I'll maintain it could/should have been added with very minimal additional costs back in 2019, and as hurricane is not coming now for a few more years to ram, should have...

    The Dodge Challenger Model That Dodge Should Have Built

    YES. Too bad. My nephew has a charger pursuit 5.7 AWD he is enjoying as a high school vehicle. really a shame that was never paired with the 8speed

    Hurricane for RAM and GC

    yes, but there is no reason they shouldn't have both as optional. the 6.4 should have been added either in 2019 with the start of the 5th gen or in 22ish. Especially if the I6 hurricane is still years away from ram (2024?)

    Hurricane for RAM and GC

    Mine is in the shop now for 150k maintenance, which is late spark plugs (1st time being changed) and to resolve a leaking water pump gasket/seal. I have considered more mods but can quite justify the expense. The durango and ram hemis will be in my garage as well for the foreseeable future.

    Hurricane for RAM and GC

    I'm starting to get the feeling Ram has a hand or 2 tied behind its back. The decision to drop low profit vehicles (which were also the some of the most efficient) hamstringing the corporates fuel economy averages therefore not allowing for 6.4 optional on 1500 (I have to think that's what was...

    Dodge Offers Second Clue to Ultimate Performance Vehicle in “Density Matters”

    Yeah he was thinking additional weight / gallon x size of the tank gets you near 8ish per your .44 more/gallon number. I was thinking along the lines of boost. Assuming smaller leprechaun on the left is a standard hellcat or redeye, it is realistic that the e85 or pulley changes / 3.0...

    Dodge Offers Second Clue to Ultimate Performance Vehicle in “Density Matters”

    Per guy on youtube, ethanol weighs more than regular gas so maybe something to do with that

    New All-Electric 2025 Ram 1500 REV Will Have Onboard Generator Power

    I'm still greatly disappointed that there are not physical buttons for heated steering wheel and heated/ventilated seats on the current 12" and this new setup. Will help though that we can likely program or locate them at the bottom of the screen. The lower row of this current image is largely...

    Ram Gives Us Our First Look & The Official Name For Its All-New BEV Pickup

    Passenger screen coming to ram - excellent. To me, its got what i'd think a new BOF durango front/chin would look like. I get a touch of wagoneer profile to the upper grill/front hood area as well. Makes sense if they are building these beside each other at warren or SHAP.

    How Good Of Fuel Economy Does The New 2023 Dodge Hornet GT Get?

    What else is better 3row at its price point? We agree its a value vehicle, so expect value build quality with a plus of excellent pentastar reliability, i'd expect. Curious what quality issues and costs you had though? Come to think of it, it was a cherokee i had as a rental and wasn't...

    How Good Of Fuel Economy Does The New 2023 Dodge Hornet GT Get?

    Sure the journey wasn't great from profitability standpoint. It was great for entry level 3rd row option for value buyers. I will likely pick up a used one for a runabout / kids first vehicle purchase unless they choose to buy their own vehicle of choice. A lot to like about a AWD optional small...

    New Turbocharged 2023 Jeep® Compass Gains MPG Across The Board!

    My guess, ratings are on regular 87 or calibrated for improved efficiency instead of peak. I'd rather loose the 80 hp and gain real world economy. Plus peak torque is there at like 1750 or something. Its not underpowered.

    Dodge Gives Us A Teaser Of Its Future Electrified Charger Daytona Lineup

    Also, it seems like the "concept" reveal dates of the charger and REV may have been delayed due to waiting for certain patents to be granted, not necessarily product development delays. That leads to the concept and production debut dates being closer and closer to each other. if that is also...
