Note the "Regular" and "Premium" fuel designations for the standard Hurricane and the HO version. The old 3.6 Pentasutar is here for comparison.

It says Hybrid. Could that be the Ramcharger? It's strange to give MPG estimates instead of range on battery, etc.

The numbers that they pushed out are terrible for 2025.

My 2000 Dodge Dakota 4.7l V8 will get a hand calculated 22-24 mpg with that big hunkin' V8 if I keep my right foot on egg shells.

Better yet, my 2007 V6 4.2l F150 can get 22-24 mpg if I do the same.

My 2020 EcoD is currently getting 27-28 mpg on winter blend diesel. From spring to fall I was getting 30-33 mpg.

Looking forward to this summer as prices of diesel is getting into mid-grade territory in my neck of the woods.

Just looking at the information again and it seems that the Pentastar is ONLY available in a hybrid. That is for 2025. Also may be that I only looked for 4 x 4.

I think the regular Hurricane is showing good fuel mileage. I normally drive "light footed" and can do at the top of what the EPA rates and sometimes more. I have no plans to look into this until maybe September.

I compared a '23 3.6l V6 and it's the same as the '25--a "mild hybrid" eTorque. That's how they list the choice under options for the '23 but not the '25. My earlier guess that they meant Ramcharger was wrong.

Who drives a full size pickup 55% of their miles in the city? I bet most of us put more like 10% of our truck miles on in city traffic. Those that drive most of their miles in the city have a vehicle for that.
