You're a Goof with absolutely ZERO mechanical knowledge. Sit down.
Any idea if this thing will last longer than 30,000 miles in a tow/haul application?

Straight 6 is much better then v6. If done right should be very reliable Like the GM 4.2 liter inline 6 that was in the Trailblazer? At the time I was working for a company that made the leak test equipment for the lost-foam casting blocks for those. Once they 'gross' leaked (porosity in the foam casting) they sent them into a secondary process to seal the pores. They were allowed to fail three times (being re-cycled thru the sealing process) before they were scrapped. Oil was leaking out of the sides of the engines....
Never, ever argue with an IDIOT. They will drag you to their level and then beat you with their years of experience

Any idea if this thing will last longer than 30,000 miles in a tow/haul application? What makes you think Chrysler can't build a head gasket, rings, pistons, rods, and a crankshaft that won't? When's the last time you saw a Slant 6 that died? Chrysler doesn't SCRAP their entire V8 lineup and replace it with this engine platform because it's a Turd, use Your head, Man. Try to imagine you control the Company, beating the Competition is your only goal, and the whole World is watching. Forced induction, small displacement, power and mileage is what sells. Blame Ford: they started it, Dodge is finishing it. Take a bow, Ford, you deserve it and Dodge is stepping up to the plate.

OJ, please do not compare a Blunder Motors product to anything outside of an African Garden Tractor. Normally I say "Kia", but quality has really gone down hill at B.M. so have to be more creative and go to Third World countries. Thank-you.

My guess is that if you drill down to the detailed emission numbers the Hurricanes come out better than the Hemis.
That is really what drives most all drive train decisions in my opinion. Money drives the decisions. One cylinder head and related parts. Simple inline block. One catalytic converter. Money says use inline engine.

Let's say slant 6- 258 4.0 6 -292 gm 6 -300 ford 6- Cummins six all very sturdy and yes take a look at boosted info on any of them with basically stock parts This new I-6 is only 182 CI. Per the article it copied a few design ideas from the 4.0 Jeep motor. Nice to know the block is closed deck. I would love to see a dyno sheet specifically for the torque curve.
