Ram 1500 Hemi or Ecodiesel?
We’re in the market for a Ram 1500. A friend owns a Hemi and loves it. He recommends against the diesel, citing lots of problems, lack of towing capacity and poor fuel mileage. I’ve read about so...

No issues with my Ecodiesel and as far as fuel economy my Eco makes 30 MPG all day at 65 mph the best my brother can make in his Hemi is 22 at 55 mph! Mine is a 2015 with 3.92 gears and his is a 2016 with 3.55 gears. I tow a 6800# boat at 70 mph without any issues whatsoever.
BTW pay no attention to the blue troll, the so called scandal affected 2014 to 2016 Ecodiesels not the 2017 and 2018 trucks. I like mine so much I might get a 2021 best in class towing, torque and fuel mileage for the 2020 Ecodiesel coming out in the fourth quarter of this year.

OP,
Just to provide full disclosure Capt Don has a aftermarket GDE tune. That in itself says something.

The Ecodiesel scandal affected 2014-2016 Ram EcoDiesels, but production didn't resume until some time MY2017.
As I specifically said I didn't know exactly what MY trucks were sitting on lots and couldn't be sold due to the scandal so the OP should consider this.
