Ram 1500 Sport Hemi vs Range Rover L322 TDV8
Discussion
Ah, fk it.
There's now a very nice 06/07 Laramie on ebay for a much lower price, again with prins lpg and still "only" 80k miles (so nothing for a yank truck). Compared with the hassle of finding, importing and converting my own 09+ truck, maybe I could live with the tacky plastic for a year or two whilst waiting for another uk based new shape truck to come up.
Anyone know if the difference of 350/400bhp pre/post facelift is a simple remap, or it is an engine hardware update? I gather they both have the cylinder deactivation tech as standard.

Thanks for the help everyone.
I ended up having a quite large argument with the parents who told me I was being utterly stupid wanting something that long and tall (the bit about it being 2" wider than an RR seemingly not registering with them), and that I could find somewhere else to park it if I went and got one.
Sadly (he says, in a relative fashion), I have instead pulled the trigger tonight on a very nice 4.4 V8 L322 after noticing they were half the price year for year of a TDV8 and cost less per mile to run on gas....

What was it like interns of size? Did it look or feel much/any larger than a modern Chelsea tank?
Much bigger than a RR!I had the pleasure of car sitting a colleagues 2006 5.7hemi for 10 months while he was stateside - RR Sport owner myself and regular FFRR user at work.
The Ram is huge, bloody good fun to drive though.
Parking is a bind, the smaller older multistory car parks can be a no go area, I got the Ram into the Multistory at Gatwick - getting it back out without scraping it was a challenge and parking at the Supermarket was interesting - it didn't fit between the white lines and was longer than a standard space.

I had a 4.0 Cherokee when I was a 22yr old.
Which is interesting and different from the norm.Good to see a young un wanting something different to a corsa or punto
