Don't know as I'm not into this type of vehicle.
Although new diesel vehicles are bog down with all the crap these days, I still don't know whether I would want a petrol 4X4 if I lived in the outback.
Something about electronics, spark plugs, dust, vibrations and river crossings that do not fill me with confidences.
Diesel were always the best for towing given their torque and ability to hold consistent coolant temps climbing mountain passes but I guess times change and so do the buying public.
The Hemi V8 has always been an iconic engine too which helps sell the RAM petrol.
