Hello Ram 1500 Diesel!
Have been driving/testing these for a while now, but couldn't say anything, until today! And yes it'll have plenty of towing capacity... Chrysler wrote: Ram to Build Industry's Only Light-duty...

The mpg ratings for a diesel 2.8 L Cummins powered Nissan Titan are 26 mpg combined city/highway, which imply 30 mpg highway, using the same transmission as the Ram 1500.
So, real world numbers. Granted, it's a research test mule. But Chrysler has to already know those numbers, as I'm sure Cummins has made them aware of them, since they have a longstanding contract with them.
See Here.
That's a Cummins 4 banger and not a VM Motori V6. I'd point you to the Diesel V6 Sprinters, which got worse fuel economy than the I5 Diesel they replaced.
It will be interesting to see the final #'s. My guess is Chrysler was not happy with them and are tweaking things and that's why they have not released them. They said Late 2013 or 2014 for availability so they have time.
Already available in Grand Cherokee.
