Pick WinterDeere's next truck

[RayIN]

I have a 24' RAM 2500 w/ the Cummins. So far I really like the truck. I was a Ford guy but kept having issues with them. Tried Chevy for a brief time and then decided to look at RAM. As soon as I test drove it, I knew I was I buying it. Are they without issues? No, but I think it's the better choice out there right now.

Interesting. But only 660 lb-ft of torque max - a far cry from the latest Cummins diesel @ over 1000 lb-ft of torque. And I'm wondering at what rpm that engine makes that 660 lb-ft of torque? All the article says is that "rated" speed is 3200 rpm. One of the things I love about my Cummins diesel is max torque is about 1600 rpm. The truck rarely gets to 2000 rpm.

I might suggest having the underside treated with Woolwax, fluid film, even used oil to give whatever you buy a fighting chance.

Just an FYI, a guy at work had his GMC sprayed with Woolwax, and when he went to put airbags on it, everywhere he wiped off the Woolwax it took the paint right off, right down to the bare metal. User beware!

Be a while before I look at that engine. Being new, I'll give it several years to see how it does and if it sticks.

660 ftlbs would put it FAR ahead of the other gassers and 3200 rpm is really low for a gas motor to make max torque. It's going to be a heck of an engine.
Probably way better fuel economy since it's a six

Preliminary suggests over 550 lb. ft at 1200 RPM for the 87 octane gas engine.
None seem to make under 500lb at 1000 RPM.

Freaking Impressive for an 87 octane gas engine. That one line is showing about 430lb. ft. @ 600 RPM!

Want to pull a heavy trailer from a dead stop up a hill? Compare the way it would feel doing the same job with a 6.2 Ford gas engine.
