So you are saying people want more performance and other amenities over better fuel economy like I have been saying why people go for other engines?
No. My point was about value, and the Ram 1500 Ecodiesel is more truck for the money than the Colorado diesel. More capability, virtually same mpg, virtually same price. That's it.
The Colorado diesel isn't "virtually the same price". The Colorado diesel is about $8,000-$9,000 cheaper for a trim level with simalar content. Capability doesn't matter since we are talking about people that don't tow. The Colorado 4x4 also gets 2 mpg more that the 4x4 Ecodiesel. Again, I was talking about those who are more concerned about fuel economy that anything else. If you care more about performance, than that omits you from opining.

20 city / 29 highway and my 1500 Laramie 4X4 with 3.92 was making 29 highway before the tune and 23 combined so not sure how 20/29 beats it. As for price I haven't checked them and will have to take your word on that.
Diesels generally get higher fuel mileage than the EPA numbers. You got higher than the EPA 27 mpg at 29 mpg and their in not doubt that the Colorado would get better than its EPA 29 mph. In fact, most reviewers are getting low 30s on the highway in the Colorado. So it beats the Ecodiesel in fuel mileage from what I have seen. Are you seriously trying to say a larger heavier truck with a larger diesel engine gets better fuel economy than a smaller lighter truck with a slightly small diesel?
