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,

I never thought it pulled fuel at 60 mph in the early part of the test. Several times later on the hill you see the temp gauge off to the right of center and the truck slowed this is when I think it pulled fuel to keep temps in line this is also when it got below 55 mph for a bit which you feel is unacceptable with this load and what I was referring to.
The outside temps do make a difference but at WOT dragging a load up a grade it does not take long to put a load on the cooling system. All I am saying is with the better grills one that isn't basically solid with small holes in it that it would have stayed at 60 plus longer. Also if it had the 31.6 tall tires instead of the 33s. So it wasn't an optimal combination as they stated. You like the faster speed of the EB thats fair. I like the fact that it used a lot less fuel.
Last I am not going to call you names or silly for not being able to follow the logical reply to your point instead of somehow thinking I meant at a minute thirty into the tow. I can respect another opinion.
