I was looking on youtube today, and seen this came up, its from 2010. And for all who always argue with me on how the hemi has no power and how the ford 6.2 is so much better. This video shows that the hemi is better loaded/ and unloaded.
And for the ones who will argue still, on how its not 2013, be glad it isn't, the dodge would beat it even worse with there new six speed that wasn't offered in 2010, I don't want to start arguments, just wanna show you guys that the hemi is a good pulling motor for a gas.
Ford/Chevy/dodge video
 
I can't recall a post where you ever bad-mouthed a Dodge. If Dodge did have any short-comings, would you report it to us?
 
The Dodge has good power, but typical Chrysler, they build a short-stroke motor and rev it high to get the power, rather than making a ton of torque down low and getting it at a sane RPM.
 
2 people argued with you. You don't want to start arguments, but you come on here telling everybody that a 5.7 with destroy a 6.0 and 6.2L. The 6.0 doesn't surprise me, it's a 11 year old engine when that video was made, and was never really improved on that much since it's debut in '99. The 6.2 and 5.7 would be pretty close, it could go back and forth between the two.

Let it go. Nobody really cares. Most on here can't be convinced to buy a Dodge unless it has a Cummins. I prefer Chevy, I'd consider a Ford, but I would NEVER look at a Dodge gas or automatic truck. I was never too impressed with them before FIAT bought them. Now with FIAT owning them, it's a fact that the truck will be lacking in the quality department. I'll sacrafice a few minutes of my life in a slower truck so I don't have to spend a few hours in a shop. Ford and Chevy 3/4 and 1-ton trucks have a proven track record. Dodge doesn't.
 
Yup, I have an O4 with the 5.7 Hemi run through a 5 sp manual and 4.11 rear end. I have pulled trailers thousands of miles between 2500 and 3000 rpm. It falls on it's face below 2500. My old 99 Ford Super Duty with the 5.4 Triton was no power horse but it was a lot more TRUCK.
 
In the whole realm of life, does it really matter? The only machine I feel justified bragging about is one I actually designed and built with my own hands. Why should I brag up something I merely wrote a check for and took delivery of? Jim
 
I think its funny how everyone criticizes fiat, they own case and new holland along with iveco, and there all great products. And they used to own part of allis chalmers, and used to make a few tractors for Oliver/MM back in the 70s. I hope when you go to buy a new tractor you buy a John Deere.
 
No I have nothing against them, the only thing I dislike is how they made the new charger and dart, I think they could of done better. As for the challenger I think they did grade A work. And I love there trucks, especially the hemis, I like the cummins to.
 
Around here the police are using a lot of Dodge Chargers and I think the cars look cool (other than what they're made into). We got a 2010 Avenger and since then see a ton of them.
 
And you were the one saying that the 6.2 is a bigger motor, it would walk around the hemi. The video thought the 6.2 would win to, but it said it got beat continuously. And this will be the only year there even gonna be comparable. Make way for the 392 6.4 hemi in the rams next year. 475hp 525ft.lb of torque.

Your also the one that was bragging about that ecoboost. The ecoboost won't beat it, as you can see, it was within 1.7 seconds on the fastest diesel, and within .7 on the ford, and actually beat the cummins with 10,000 pounds behind it.

And as I said, I don't want to start arguments with you, just wanted to show you the video I found, of you find a 2011 or newer truck comparison video, please share I'd be glad to watch it.
 
Same around here, impalas and chargers for cop cars, all the ones around here are v6 though, seems like I haven't seen a single cop driving a v8. I do agree they look ok, it's just the fact there making a charger 4 door. I really like the challenger, wanna buy one someday
 
People criticize fiat because their cars have a bad reputation. Think Tn/T4000 series. I know that you'll talk them up till you die, but they really don't have a very good reputation. The early TN's weren't too bad, but they started to get into everything being electric, and it really went down hill. The TL/5000 series is a bit the same way, but with overall better build quality. The TS-A/T6000 have their problems too. T-7000 can also have problems.
About Allis. I don't really mind Allis, but Allis made some pretty stupid mistakes. If their Ag division was any indication, they deserved to go bankrupt. They didn't build a competitive product until the 8000 series. They should have had a fully syncronized transmission starting with the D-series, but didn't get anything until the 8000 series. Their engines left alot to be disired even including the 8000 series. The 301 was gutless in anything over 90hp and the 426 coudn't take the power they tried to get out of it. Then there's the cab. Point being, what Allis has done is no indication of what was was a good idea. One of their many mistakes, in my opinion, was getting involved with FIAT. If I was to buy a new tractor, it would have to be an AGCO. By far the best tractor on the market today. Has nothing to do with FIAT. I truly do not trust CNH, starting before I was aware FIAT owned them. #1-They have very questionable reliability/QC. #2-parts prices are unbelievable. John Deere is consistently expensive. AGCO is consistently reasonable with the odd expensive part. Kubota is either CHEAP or up there with CNH.
 
I'm not even going to watch your video. I prefer my own personal experience.

Our company truck where I work is a 2012 Ram 2500 with a 5.7, and my personal pickup is a 2011 GMC 3500HD with a 6.0L. The Ram has all kinds of power, but you have stick your foot a long ways in it to find it. My GM has a lot more torque on the low end of the tach. Now some of that might be gears, I have 4:10s and I don't know what the Ram has. I also seem to be getting better fuel mileage with my GM (and that shocks me, my GM is a longbox crew with the heavy GVW package). I'm not going to ridicule you for liking Dodges and Rams, but personally I prefer my GM products. They've done me good over the years.

Oh, and the Ford F250 I had earlier this year; it died. I'm still bitter about it, but that's a whole 'nother story.
 
I will agree the Chevy will get good mileage, I get about 13
being hard on it and between 15-17 depending if its hilly or flat
babying it. And it has 4:56 gears which if you go much over 65
it doesn't get good mileage then. What mileage you get with
your Chevy?
 
I like that everyone thinks ther junk, and judges them, but for that same reason, you can't really judge them if you've never had one. If they were junk they wouldn't still be making them.
 
Agco? They don't even make a agco tractor anymore. It's a challenger, fendt or Massey ferguson. And pretty soon the will drop them all but the Massey and I can't wait. Would love to buy a new massey 4wd or track tractor.
 
Who said I'd never owned one? And like most everyone else I paid for a transmission for the pleasure.
 
Looks like you wanna argue, making comments that have nothing to do with the post. But I'm just gonna let posts like yours go. They are not benefiting anyone.

I'm getting around 17-18 mpg running empty 65-70 mph. Some hills. I'm not sure about with the trailer on, I haven't done a long enough trip to run the numbers yet. I was in shock after running the numbers on the first tank, my 07 F250 5.4L would only get me about 14-15 being really nice on the go pedal.
 
Yeah, we have had fords and Chevys, can't stand the ford, but
will deal with a Chevy, the Chevy has good mileage, but I wish
they had the power like the dodge. And I'm also just a dodge
guy so that's part of the reason I like them so much.
 
That's your own fault, that new six speed is pretty much bullet proof, the old five speeds are known for it espicially in a cummins. Can't be any worse than a powerjoke, try a 6.0 or 6.4 if you wanna talk about problems, I hear the 6.7s have problems to.
 
By AGCO I mean AGCO and all of it's companies. AGCO is still the name of the parent company, they just don't make any tractors that are branded as an AGCO. The Fendt name isn't about to be dropped. They always have been and always will be at the forefront of technology. I simply mean that between the Sisu engine, massey transmission, extremely quiet cabs, etc. etc., they are the best tractor out there today.
 
Lol best tractor is a John Deere, case ih and new holland those are the top three.I'm a huge agco fan but I will say there not the best. Look at there resale for number one. I would love a new massey. And for that challenger name, it will be dropped in about 5-10 years and gleaner and fendt will follow. I've talked to people that work there. They are trying to get it narrowed to just one brand, and that one brand will be Massey Ferguson.
