Bit of a longer one! Appreciate everyone taking the time to watch. I really like driving the 5.7L Hemi - it might be old but it still puts a smile on your face when you give her some fuel!!

My 2014 Ram 2500 with 5.7 is still humming along at 220K miles. Not one single problem. Been hauling construction equipment and logs for the entire time. They will have to pry my cold dead hands off the steering wheel.

I love how Ram is balancing practicality and “cool stuff” in their trucks. I love the eTorque going away, and the upgraded exhaust. I’m a practical guy, but I do love it when my 3-year old son in the backseat says, “Can you do a truck roar?” (i.e., floor it)

When I merge on to the expressway, I floor it just to hear hear that awesome sound. I probably waste a lot of gas, but it’s so worth it. 💨💨💨

So nice to hear a truck that does not sound like a shop vac

As someone who loves tech, I don't love tech in my vehicles. Give me simplicity and reliability. Good move, RAM.

Have been running 5W30 Pennzoil Ultra Platinum in my 2022 no e-torque RAM 1500 Hemi for over 4 years, no issues, quieter, specially on start up and better protection

Toyota needs to follow suit with the Tundra.

Have a 2015 300S with the HEMI. When they announced they were getting rid of the HEMI I bought a Ram 1500 Classic warlock with the V8 as well. Love this engine.

I’ve owned 4 of these 5.7 Hemi Rams since 2012. Never had 1 single issue. They are such great running engines and a blast to drive!!!
