Nice! Yep, I think I like the RAM best for exterior and interior.


As for those griping about about new NA V6. I think its a great option. Look at the good reviews the RAM V6 is getting thanks in part to its 8 speed transmission. Its obvious it is not meant to compete with the ecoboost. It is the economy version with some decent power, while the 5.3 is supposed to compete powerwise with ecoboost...AND economy wise I'm thinking.

You know this 4.3 is going to have more HP and TQ than the Pentastar V6 that RAM is using...very curious to see what kind of transmission they pair it with though.

I had a very nice looking shortbed, regular cab 07 Ram with the 4.7 V8. It only made 240HP and 300 TQ or something close to that. This new V6 will probably make as much torque, and will definitely make more HP.
