They don't need to use a different engine as this one even when it came first came out Cummins said it was more than able to push out 475HP and 1600ft-lb. No what Ram really needs to do is update the chassis and cab to the 5th gen or at this point skip it all together and go 6th gen.

So I don't understand something here, are all the Ram trucks getting this transmission? because if that's the case are they doing away with the H.O Cummins?

This is to little to late. Ram is running the oldest chassis, cab, engines and transmissions on the market for HD trucks so as someone who have a lot of friends that actually use these kinds of trucks for towing many of which USED to buy Ram trucks but won't touch them because of how old and...

first let me say I am not a fan of EVs however i will not deny that they are faster, produce more power and have less parts to fix or replace. what really bothers me is being forced to like/buy one. Next time will tell but I for one am impressed with the hurricane I6, now lets see if it being an...

Actually Yes I was talking about the 68RFE as it is the reason the cummins is detuned in the 2500 and 3500. the only way to get the HO is with the Aisin and yes it also has some funny shifts in it but that transmission seem to be able to take it as I have yet to see a truck for sale with a bad...

No I hate unions because it makes people think they are entitled to (most of the time) more than they are worth and that is a simple fact. I don't have to "boot lick to get what I am earning and at any time I choose I could find a higher paying job but I am happy since all my bills are taken...

Lol, you my friend have no idea then how many of us are living on under $18 an hour. This is why I hate all unions they make $25-$30 an hour get amazing benefits (compared to what most of us get) plus profit sharing and yet all they do is complain lol. If I can rent an apartment, buy food (and...

Good, since it feels like Ram is and has been left out to dry (i.e the 2500. 3500 still on the old DS platform and falling way behind the competition) since Koval was running things. Even the 1500 is just now going to get an update while all the others are already on the second one.

https://moparinsiders.com/stellantis-fca-us-set-to-release-onslaught-of-evs-starting-this-year/ So regarding this news if the time line is that close why haven't we seen testers out yet? I know they can hide for now in older models but at some point soon they have to get the actual new ones on...

Wow, still no comments here (that's concerning even to me). I see Chevy and GMC have already updated the twins so where in the world is Ram as all they did was new mirrors and digital clusoter? When do we finally get a new chassis, better transmission, and a FULL bench seat in the back with a...

Wow, Now I am kind of disappointed again as it looks like 15% of the concept made it to the real truck...... I was hoping for at least 50-60%.

I talked to two of my friends that just bought a new f-250 and the other a f-350 and they both used to be ram owners and when I asked why the one with the f-250 said that the new gas and 10 speed is what made him switch along with the fact Ram is still using the old 2009 chassis and the back...

Hey cygnus, I thought that as well however if you look and the post in the ram section it has the full 1 hour video where they drive and show the real truck just FYI. One thing I don't get from reading about how cars/trucks are made is if this is to debut next year doesn't the design already...

ah Thank you. I couldn't find this anywhere. the video of the live "reveal" that all sites linked to were the 4 minute nothing show and the comments from people (my self included) was "is this a joke"? This is the video everyone should have linked too.

So was a computer generated video the "reveal"? No real truck to watch it drive a little and see in person? Very disappointing after all the hype as you can show anything on a computer vs in real life.
