    SEC Filing Reveals Pentastar V6 & Eight-Speed For 2013 Ram

    Ram has some big changes in store for the 2013 Ram 1500 in April, but a new SEC filing reveals some of the juicy details.

    The Ram will be getting Chrysler's 3.6L Pentastar V6 producing 280 HP. This will replace the current 3.7L V6 producing 210 HP. Also, the Ram will get a new eight-speed transmission.

    The new eight-speed transmission "reduces fuel consumption by up to 12 percent over our current five-speed transmissions" such as the one in the current Ram, the filing says.

    The filing also reveals the eight-speed transmission will make its way to the Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee in the 2013 model year.

    Nice to see they are doing it for the Durango next year. My daughter while looking to replace her durango will not be ready till next summer or fall to do this, so she should be able to get one with the 8 speed tranny.

    SWEETNESS :P

    • Nothing like open carry to make tourists from other places feel safe in the USA
    • I love Richard Wolf, he gets it right on the US decline.    I trust the BBC, not any American sources. This will get ugly. Not buying flight tickets any time soon.    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx27z97ryr0o   From the article... US air travelers are experiencing a second day of flight delays and cancellations, as the government shutdown causes a worsening shortage of air traffic controllers. On Tuesday evening, the flight delays hit even more airports, with the cities of Nashville, Dallas, Chicago and Newark especially affected. On Monday, air traffic control at the Hollywood Burbank Airport in California was unmanned for nearly six hours and remotely managed due to staffing shortages. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said some air traffic controllers are calling in sick as the shutdown, now in its seventh day, adds stress on workers. He estimated that staffing has at times dropped to 50% in some areas.
    • The wheels are going to come off of our society, this time for good.    We have reached a uniqee state of stupidity as a country. Kimmel gets it right.   
    • I have lots of rural liberal woodworking friends, they have guns because police are 20 minutes away and they will be dead if they call and wait for help.  A blast in the air from a shot gun has put more than one wanna be out of a friends driveway.   
    • I think some of it is that but also the more rural, the more likely they are to be into hunting itself. Those people also tend to be way more protective of their property.
