I like the fanboi comment....nothing to refute said claim except i am a fanboi...nice.
I actually like the new rams and have been a fan of the their line of hemi engines...if it wasnt for chrysler bringing out that hemi..how many lame duck base model engines would truck makers pass onto their fabboi's.....

The Ram has had a SOLID transmission for years now. the 545RFE trans has proven itself as being very tough. The 8 speed is unproven, but I should have said best spec transmission.
There's a lot to be said for having the most horsepower, and being tied with the ecoboost for mileage rating. I am no luddite, but I'll take the sweet sounding, proven Hemi, with far less to go wrong (IMO), than the twin turbo 3.5. The real letdown is the rest of the truck, the Ram has proven itself to be the worst quality truck.

The quality part of the ram come in when you go to higher models. My dads Lone Star is built pretty well. I have noticed a few things wrong with it but there is virtually nothing wrong with my grandad's. He has an 09 Laramie.

It's just too bad there is so many fanboys on this site, that one cannot rationally discuss the facts when comparing the Hemi to the EB.
