Test Drove New V8 today! finally got one in...and lets just say its a bad *** truck!!!!!!!! off the line its ok about the same as ours....but once it hits about 3 thousand RPMS that truck is gone! I mean talk about throwing some 260 pound guy back in the seat!

 

How's the suspension? Still drive like a waterbed or did they button it down with some good shocks and stiffer springs?

 

You will not see a 4.7 for a short time. The new 4.7 was locking up!

 

Locking UP? What is meant by locking up? Seizing or something?

 

I'm going to have to take a test drive in one here real soon. Thanks for the update.

How'd you like the interior?

 

The 4.7 V8 wont be out for awhile they are having all kinds of problems with the heads. Any dodge, chrysler or jeep that uses the new 4.7 will not have it for sometime. That leaves there the 3.7 or the 5.7

 

If they are having problems like this why wouldn't they have continued to produce the current 4.7 and release the new one when it's ready for production. Doesn't make any sense, if it is true Chrysler needs to get their act together, they can't afford mistakes like that.

 

I guess they arent that smart to do so, its going to really hurt sales on the dakota, commander, durango and pretty much anything that has the 4.7.

 

I saw the new ones yesterday at a Dodge lot. I'm not impressed with it. It's a little too retro for me. Maybe it was the color.

 

When I went to buy my Charger Last night they had a black v8 08. It had a R/T sticker on it/decal on the bed of the truck like some folks have done and I commented, I didn't know you guys made new R/T on the kota's. He responded that it was just a package that included decals and different interior pipes and maybe suspension? It had the V8 badge on the back. I do agree they changed them up though, When i was trading in my 05 I commented how they changed the design so quick.
