Buying a 2014 Summit Today
Hello. I’m a new member that’s been lurking this site for a while now. I’m going to purchase a 2014 Cashmere Pearl Summit in a few hours. Since my brother works for Chrysler, I’m getting the EP price which is a pretty good deal without the hassle of haggling.
I thought I’d get the Hemi until I test drove the V6 yesterday back to back with the V8. I was impressed enough with the V6 to sway me in that direction.
I’m not sure I like the 2014 Summit wheels as much as I did the 2013 Summit polished 20” 5 spokes. Would the 2013 wheels fit the 2014?
Thanks,
<O</O

Agreed. To answer your question, the 2013 wheels will swap right in with no problem. :thumbsup:Go for the V8

Thanks for the replies. Just got her home. I'm overwhelmed by the tech! Pulled it into the garage for the first time crawling along while my wife made sure I wasn’t going to hit anything. Warning tones where going off every once in a while but it fits fine.
I “settled” for the V6 and as long as I don’t drive one with a V8 I’m going to be fine. I was very surprised at how spirited this heavy vehicle felt with this engine and tranny combo. I tested a 2012 last year with the V6 and I know I wouldn’t have been as happy with it.
Picked up the Lifetime warranty for an extra $2K and peace of mind considering all the bells and whistles this thing has. I’ve never purchased an extended warranty before but this just seemed to make too much sense considering I keep my vehicles forever. <O

Don't get me wrong, I definitely felt the difference......but only when I really accelerated very aggressively like flooring the accelerator. There is no doubt I'd prefer the hemi when passing on a two lane road.
The thing that really surprised me about this new V6/8 speed tranny combo was that (to me) it felt every bit as lively as the hemi in normal driving. It never felt like it was struggling. I do tend to drive faster than the average bear but I'm not a really aggressive driver like a few people I know. That being the case, I just felt that the V6 provided adequate (not exhilarating) passing acceleration and the rest of the time I don't think I'll notice the difference, except at the gas pump.
The only time it might bug me that I didn't get the V8 is when you guys with one remind me I didn't.
