I am looking for a much bigger truck than the Ram 1500. But in defense of the Eco Diesel I will say that I like the range per tank much more than FE itself.
I don't need to stop every 200 miles. I have driven 1300 miles with only one stop for lunch and one for dinner. That in a Kia Spectra. You can't do that if you are making stops every 200 to 300 miles for fuel.
The eco diesel has about a 750 mile range. This allows you to eat at places other than fuel stops. It means you can shop for cheaper fuel. It means you could travel non stop from Denver to LA.
I have no idea what the range of an ED is, but if 750 miles is accurate, you're a bit over 250 miles away from being able to travel nonstop from Denver to LA.
