Back in November, during Chrysler’s seemingly endless business plan presentation<\/a>, Ram trucks chief Fred Diaz told the captive media audience that the new 6.4-liter Hemi<\/a> gasoline V8 would likely appear in Ram’s heavy duty trucks. Fast forward to today, however, and it would appear that the big Hemi is now off the table. PickupTrucks.com reports<\/a> that the 6.4 Hemi will instead be exclusive to Chrysler’s potent SRT<\/a> vehicles. Chrysler VP of product development, Joe Veltri, says that the 6.4 is designed for performance, not the grunt work truck buyers demand of their vehicles.<\/p>\n

PickupTrucks.com notes also that Veltri sees a need for Ram<\/a> to get gas engine that delivers more power and torque than the currently-available 5.7-liter Hemi, but that the likely course of action will involve building off that <\/em>engine, rather than looking to adapt the SRT<\/a> lump for truck duty. Why the drive to add more gas offerings in the diesel-dominated heavy-duty truck category? Emissions regulations, natch. Increasingly strict rules mean that diesels are becoming commensurately more costly to produce and sell, and Chrysler<\/a> sees the ratio of diesel to gas engines offered becoming much closer in future years than it is today. Head over to PickupTrucks.com<\/a> for the full skinny. <\/p>\n
