Ram with V6. Reviews?

Why I don't frequent new car lots....
I've got a 12 reg cab longbed with a supposed 300 HP 10:1 4.7. the most claimed HP of any vehicle I've ever owned. I avoided a 4.7 as long as I could, now we have 2 of them. The 08+ version with the 16 spark plugs is supposed to be superior to the 07-earlier. Supposedly the valve drop issues etc are no more. I haven't had that happen yet. The 4.7 in my 03 Durango (same gearing, heavier by virtue of the extra hardware 4wd has, the 12 pickup is 2wd) seems like a lot bigger engine, definitely glass more balls than the 12.
Another difference is the 03 is still throttle cable drive, the 12 is drive by wire. That may account for some of the difference.
The 4.7 in the truck leaves me wanting a 318 powered truck. And I haven't mentioned a v6 in this post yet. Gas mileage is about the same as any 318 truck I've had and the 318s have all seemed more powerful even 2 bbl carb'd ones I've had.
I've never had a hemi anything but if I can't find some "old man's special, been garage/ barn kept for 25+ years" with a 318/360 in it the next time I need a truck I will have to hold out and try a hemi. One thing that limits my choices is that I do not like 4 door anything. Reg cab long beds are tough to get with any engine.
But if we get the newer camper my wife wants us to get i will be moving back to a 3/4 ton anyway.
