Even more mpg out of the EcoDiesel with the "HFE" or High Fuel Efficiency model. VIDEO
Forum Discussion
I went "window shopping" for a Ram for my use... I Don't tow heavy anymore and in the foreseeable future my towing needs will not exceed 4500 ish lbs.
I went and test drove an EcoDiesel 2wd and a Pentastsar V6 4x4 back to back. Both in the club cab (small back doors)The Pentastar had more power throughout the RPM Range and simply felt faster.
The Lie-o-meter on both trucks was reset by me at the beginning of each test drive...drove each trucks at the same speed over the same route and the MPG at the end of the test drive was about 19 mpg for both trucks.
If I was buying that day I would have taken the pentastar home.
More power, similar fuel economy, nearly 7,000 lb tow rating and that one had about 1600 lbs of payload.
Pretty sure my next half ton truck will be a 3.55 geared Pentastar Ram.
Thanks!
