HEMI® Power To Keep Going In Ram Heavy Duty Trucks

[ANGLICO]

Not at all…. The Hemi is an excellent engine if you need more you need a diesel.

There is another aspect to this. Some consumers (commercial or private) are also concerned about the War on Diesel, such as in states like CA.

If you are buying a truck that you want to get 10 years out of..... putting your faith in the CA Legislatures and the "Climate Change" mantra if iffy at best.

They might not outlaw diesel, but they have already shown, over the last 20 years, that they will dramatically change the rules on diesel.

Safer to go with the Hemi.

Definitely an aspect for commercial buyers, especially ones with non-pickup beds. You should see the insanity in CA- mostly it’s not laws passed but administrative codes produced by the AQMD. They operate under the clean air act and make their own rules. Consumers can get around things but businesses even can’t run off road concrete pumps or skid steers unless tier 4 compliant or face tickets- all those have to be registered with CARB. Small contractors can get around things but it’s frankly BS.

A lot of commercial and gov fleets are moving to gasoline trucks for cost and maintenance savings the last few years as well. Gasoline engines are much more tolerant of idling than diesels are as well (though the Hemis are known to have some Ricki no issues with excessive idling).
