    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

    • What do you know about Wikipedia? Toward the end of each year, they put up a banner ad asking for $2.75 - ~ a cup of coffee - to support their efforts. Are they a nonprofit?  Do they have positive cash flow to easily remain afloat?  Any insight into their operations? Either way, I send them about 4 "cups of coffee" each December because I use the site extensively.
    • You're a talented craftsman. - - - - - I know only one person who went to University of Dayton.  I don't think she had any issues with it, except that it was a continuation of Catholic high school and was displeased with that aspect.  I can relate, as my undergrad was the same way, and this was at a more liberal Catholic college in a big city.   Public schools were like an oxygen mask to me.  Too much education in a religious setting can sometimes backfire and cause burnout. - - - - - I would have never thought I'd say this, but I, too, would like to revisit Arkansas.  There is so much understated beauty.
    • I would only buy a Kia/Hyundai EV, not an ICE.  Honda taking on Nissan or Mitsubishi will be a death pill for the company.  Interesting video.  Happier times.   
    • Toyota is living off their past manual everything autos that gave them the reliability marketing message. The recalls and behind tech advances makes one have to think twice about any Japanese auto right now. Nissan/Honda/Mitsubishi are in talks to merge and that is going to be very interesting. I honestly do not think it will make much of a difference as Japan is behind in tech in many ways. Here's what a blockbuster Nissan-Honda merger could mean for the auto industry Sony TV's once the best out there now use LG and Samsung Screens. Big tech advances I had posted here a decade ago from battery to motor tech the Japanese let fall behind and the Chinese pirated some of it to get ahead. I honestly think the quality of Auto's has flipped to Korea surpassing Japan especially in EVs. UPDATE: From Japan, seems these auto companies realize time is limited for life outside of Japan. https://english.kyodonews.net/news/2024/12/a03e03dbba61-update1-japan-automakers-honda-nissan-arranging-merger-talks-source.html
    • Not a Bronco sport but a Bronco, yes.  I hate to admit it here, but I am thinking Toyota might make my next car.  I think the writing is on the wall for Nissan, Infinity, a lot of Stelantis, a really jaguar. The fat lady is warming up backstage for Lincoln. Ford will never sell regular passenger cars in the US ever again.  More than Bronco reliability, I think Ford's bland and uninviting (at lest to me) SUV lineup will hurt them.  I see them eventually becoming a truck only company. Maybe 8-10 years.  Bronco Sport also uses a 3 cylinder for many of its models, would definitely NOT want that.
