Ram 1500 First Long Trip
we're about a 1/4 the way into our annual 7000km maritime Canada trip, the first with the 2017 ram 1500 hemi 8 speed.
towing 5500 lb tt.
fuel economy at 105-110 kph is right around 22-24 l per 100km, we're impressed
did get into one situation worth mentioning, stuck doing 45 kph behind old grandpa in a ford edge at the bottom of a long 12% grade, floored the gas pedal!! buried the fuel consumption guage at 99l/100km. tach reading up to 5000, speed up to almost 90 and still accelerating awesome power!!
good thing it wasn't a diesel, grandpa would still be cleaning his windshield
handling is great, you know its there, but nothing else
