Forum Discussion
I just read a review of the 2014 RAM EcoDiesel on FoxNews.
They quoted these specs:
** 3.0-liter turbocharged V6--240 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque.
** 8-speed automatic is standard
** $2,850 step-up cost from the Hemi engine
** 9,200-pound tow rating
** Ram promises it’ll be “at least” 27 mpg
** ... the cheapest Ram 1500 diesel ringing up at just under $30,000
Here's the reporters MPG synopsis:
"I consistently got 28 mpg on the interstates in my 4x4 Crew Cab, and that’s at 65+ mph, not clogging up the right lane at the double-nickel. Overall, I saw a 23 mpg average in the few hundred miles that I covered, with plenty of stop-and-go, city-slicker-style driving in the mix."
This Fuel Efficiency PLUS towing capacity race is turning out to be a good thing for truck buyers.
