Engine you have?
I dont want to turn this into a "mine is better than yours" pissing contest. I am just wondering what the spread of the land is.

5.7 here. Dealer tried to talk us into the 3.5l, but i wasn't having it. I bought a v6 with my first truck and always regreted not getting the V8. Not this time.

Well I already have a V-8 Caddy. So I didn't see a need for another gas guzzler right now. I love my 3.5!

I had to go with the 5.7. My dealer also tried to talk me out of it because the "hemi" can be a bit of a handfull in the snow (I live in colorado) but I haven't had a problem yet.

5.7L HEMI, it wasn't an option for me. When I saw the comcept in HOT ROD a few years ago, I told myself "if they make it, I'm gettin one". So on premier night at my local dealer, i got one. This car has been a blast so far.

5.7 for sure.....mileage (on the sticker) was nearly the same as the 3.5, and the 6.1 is a guzzler. Practical performance is what I told the wife...same thing I said when I got the Borla exhaust and K&N Typhoon. They are for "Gas Mileage"! ;-)

I tested the SRT8 and really liked it, but wanted the AWD more, so ended up with 5.7Hemi. Very happy now with it.
