Ram 1500 with 3.0 diesel
Continuing my research for a possible new(er) TV. Anyone own/towing with the Ram 1500 with the 3.0 diesel? Might be to small for my towing needs, but something to think about. Thanks,

Someone is seriously drunk if they think a 240 HP truck will beat a 365 HP truck towing up a hill. :R
The EcoBoost is not necessarily a high rpm race motor and actually has diesel like low rpm torque.
