I just logged on the net and saw a "news" article from MSN Auto about the top ten autos from Detroit. In it they picked the Dodge Ram over the F-150 because it has a 5.7 Liter Hemi that as they claim out muscles anything in the half-ton class. BULL CRAP!!! They are either paid by Dodge to say that or are complete idiots who don't know how to research an article properly. Yeah the 5.7 Hemi may have 390 Hp and 407 lbft of torque but Ford's 6.2L is rated at 411 Hp and 434 torque. Even Chevy's 6.2L out does the Dodge with 403 Hp and 417 torque. I guess their articles are for morons who also think everything on the evening news is unbiased fact.

 

Amen! But consider the source...MSN?????....They pretty much suck at everything so no suprise that they screwed this up to.

 

Were they talking about the new engines or maybe still not about the new ones since they arent standard quite yet.

 

hose thngs are rigged anyhow, the automakers will slide these people some cash to say that theirs is better than so and so's. no integrity amongst the media outlets now days

 

if you 'compare', they also list the new 5.0 as a 4.9. And while the old 302 really was a 4.9 (4.949 to be exact), I distinctly remember reading that Ford engineers were tasked with making the new one a 302 but above 4.95 liters so that it could accurately be called a 5.0 (and they did at 4.952 liters, 302.18 c.i.).

but really, you should be asking yourself when the last time that msn anything cared about facts was...
