The v6 ram regular cab or a new challenger r/t with the 5.7? I own a v6 ram and it sucks gas, i wanna guess 15mog city? and its been said the charger 5.7 gets 17 city. What do you think would use less under the right driving conditions? Thanks

the challenger isnt currently available with the 5.7 hemi yet, just the big un. and the new challengers are going for about $10,000 to $15,000 over sticker, so unless you wanna spend $50,000 or more on a car, stick with the truck

Ha Ha Ha Ha sound like most of us Purchased the 3.7 thinking it would get good MPG Ha HA The sad thing about it the 4.7 and the Hemi are reporting of getting 20's up on the HWY yea burns me up knowing this I like a lot of other 3.7 ownners I should of gotten the V-8.

I will trade my in about 1 to 1.5 years from now go back to a V-8 thats gets the same or better MPG as the 3.7 gets.

And for the brand we will see who having the best deals when I get ready to trade it in.


As for getting new challenger r/t they are not cheep you could get a new truck with a V-8 for cheeper than the challenger thats get better MPG and now adays they are dealing on there V-8 trucks.
