Truck/SUV of the Month Open Judging!

Heeeemiiiiiiiiii Roolz!

why?

[Swampy]

why?

Cause ford can't build a gas engine to save themselves (there diesils are made by International.)
and Chevy's can't get out of their own way.

oh, I see you don't like fords or chevy. But that still doesn't help me understand why the hemi is all that? It's got a little more HP for a push rod engine but if you wanted a street vehicle a DOHC would be better or did I miss something?

Btw I'm not brand loyal. I've owned a ford, a jeep and a chevy.

C'mon people, let's keep this civil. No one's opinions are going to change, so I don't want to see any flaming.

The Hemi is great because it has hemispherical heads. Also, the design of the block is far superior than other attempts. Do some reading before posting questions that are solely design to start a flame fest bornl33t. Don't play innocent either. You know what you do, and you've done it to me before.

I gotta admit, I voted for Billybob's. Much as I like Mango's truck, I think Billybob's is more in line with what I consider to be a real truck. It's made even better by the functional touches like the lower body rhino-lining. That's a truck I wouldn't mind dragging through anything out there. With Mango's, I'd be deathly afraid of scratching it.

I can't wait until my Titan is paid off, and I can start doing crap to it like he did to his Ford.

WHY the hell are people so obsessed with this "truck" nonsense? Does the thread title not state "truck/SUV..."

Friggen AO, I swear.....

maybe people arent into the stock SUV as their are into the custom trucks and jeeps, who knows.

BTW a lot of engines have hemispherical heads, mopar just patented the name hemi. Its a decent engine but its not that amazing. Ive driven countless new hemi trucks and would personally never put a hemi into an actual truck, cummins is so much better. But as for a SUV the hemi is probably pretty decent.

Well, you posted your little "Oh, I see" post right when I did mine, and before that, from my perspective, it looked like an all out engine flame war was about to ensue...
