Why Purchase a RAM 1500?
The RAM trucks have been a reliable truck for years, put under many tests amongst its competitors, and this powerful truck has been the constant winner. Aside from the RAM 1500’s towing capacity, these trucks have been enhanced with a high-quality engine, the new Hurricane engine.
The new 3.0L Hurricane engine in the Ram 1500 has some advantages over the 5.7L Hemi, but it might not be definitively “better” for everyone.
Here’s a breakdown:
- Hurricane Advantages: More Power: Both Hurricane variants offer more horsepower and torque than the Hemi (standard Hurricane: 420 hp vs 395 hp, High-Output Hurricane: 540 hp). This translates to better acceleration.
- Potentially Better Fuel Economy: While official figures aren’t out yet for the Hurricane, it’s designed for efficiency and could see an improvement over the Hemi, especially on the highway.
- Lower Emissions: The Hurricane is a more modern engine and is expected to have lower emissions than the Hemi.
- Hemi Advantages: Proven Track Record: The Hemi has been around for a long time and is known for its reliability and durability. The Hurricane is a new engine, so there’s less long-term data available.
- Towing Capacity (for Standard Hurricane): The standard Hurricane offers a slightly lower towing capacity (11,570 lbs) compared to the Hemi (12,750 lbs). The High-Output Hurricane might have a higher towing capacity, but details are not yet confirmed.
- Payload Capacity: The Hemi might have a higher payload capacity (depending on configuration) than the standard Hurricane.
- Lower Fuel Cost: The Hemi runs on regular gas, while the High-Output Hurricane likely requires premium gas, which can be more expensive.
- Classic Hemi Sound: Some people prefer the powerful V8 sound of the Hemi.
Choosing Between Them: If you prioritize power, efficiency, and potentially lower emissions, the Hurricane is a good choice.
