You should try a Cummins. They do quite well for a straight Six, I think. Even the detuned version in my cab and chassis does okay. But then, I have yet to exceed 39,000 lbs. total weight.

Then there's something wrong. I'd try new pads after cleaning off the rotors really well. By the way, how much do you want for that $12K trailer of yours?

They should be good. Maybe not bedded in correctly? Either way, they're significantly larger than on a 1500.

Oh, they will, once it's gone through the very unrealistic J2807 test. For whatever reason, that test concentrates largely on acceleration and being able to go fast up hills. I much prefer being able to stop quickly, and have enough braking power to be able to go down hills safely. To me, a...

To me, the engine output is low on the list for a tow vehicle. They could put a Hellephant in a 1500, and it's still only a 1500.

Okay, so they still offer the better looking and (slightly) less complicated and tech laden version...is that wrong?

They are things I'd pay not to have. Heck, I was willing to pay the same for a Base Durango as for the Plus I'm getting, but apparently the order couldn't be changed. So now I'm getting all sorts of fancy unwanted tech, and get to pay some $6K extra.

I can't even imagine the development costs for an inline V6. Would the crankshaft make a 180 and then go back to the other three cylinders?

How would you say that the two compare, good, bad and indifferent?

But running on alligator meat instead of spinach?

Agree. The Cummins in my 3500 doesn't sound bad, and the Cat in the Pete sounded really good.

Was that in Australia, or why did it lift the right side?

Even though a prototype has supposedly been spotted with the 6? Not yet verified, but it may be soon. Of course, they could sell both versions. One for people who just can't stand the power, exhaust sound, and blower whine.

With the 6-banger, making 35 hp more than the regular Hurricane?

Umm, if you ever looked at the size of the bits under an SXT (compared to a 'Cat), you wouldn't want to open the valve on that bottle.

That's okay. Two of them are good looking females, and two are friends. I can live with that...especially here in the alligator free zone where they don't need to waste time on large reptiles, but can concentrate on catching tourists driving badly.

You guys are making me miss my SXT. If going slowly, might as well get good gas mileage.

You should also ask yourself "Why did I order this car?" It's on the build sheet I just got, so the answer should arrive in a month or two.

We have a few black and completely stealth Ram pickups here, plus regular black and white ones. Also stealth SUVs, and the regular ones usually have winches. No cars around here.

Okay, was just able to pull up the build sheet on my order. One thing that caught my eye on the lengthy list is a " 'why buy' label". Quite appropriate for this particular purchase.
