Realibility wise: Pentastar or Hemi?
I am in the market to buy a new Overland. Obviously it’s not cheap therefore I want to make sure that I buy an Overland with the right engine under the hood (V6 vs. V8). I am not concerned about the gas consumption.
So reliability wise which engine is better – Pentastar or Hemi? V8 obviously consumes more gas (2-3 liters more / 100 KM). But in the long run which engine is better? |

I have ordered a Laredo with the V6, but #1 I am cheap, and #2 I am alone in the vehicle 90% of the time. The Overland is 200 pounds heavier, and with a few extra people and cargo, I would go with the V8. Most reviews call the V6 'adequate' which means 'gutless' IMO.
