All you guys do is talk about engines and power. Nobody seems to have noticed the most significant thing of all in the new design ....the adoption of the extreme " cab-forward " design that Chrysler adopted 15 years ago with the first L-H models.

Just a little freshening up on the front end and the rear end...no new alloys and the new H.P. is to increase by 45 to 270h.p and 251 lb.ft torque. Std equipment is now 6 disc. NO new colors.

Hope this helps you guys..

The horsepower numbers meang absolutely nothing unless the weight stays constant. Too many times to count, somebody shows up a the track with an SUV...claims they have horsepower...and they get toasted. Then they start to complain and when I mention it weighs more, they come to realize what I have been saying all along...for the most part SUV's engine hp is tied to its weight.
