Interesting results... still don't know if it is something that interests me or not. The mileage is certainly great and the initial upcharge of only $1700 isn't terrible.
I would have really liked to see this truck offered as a HD half ton with closer to 2000 lbs of real world, useable payload. I think there is a market for this truck, but I don't see it meeting my future needs.
Good for Ram though, I think its innovative and I hope that it creates competition. The F150 with Ecoboost still has an advantage from my perspective right now, and that's because of superior payload ratings. Ram gets better mileage, but I NEED the payload and only WANT the mileage.
