Ram 1500 with 3.0 diesel

Does anyone know the payload on the ED in a quad cab configuration ??

Sorry, I'm in the wrong topic. LOL

Love my 3d. 8 speed zf and air suspension has no towing competition. Relaxed smooth quiet. I'll never go gasser again. Add up fuel savings over 150 k miles and steep discounts ram offers and it's financial no brainier. Only problem I have is my wife wants it all the time.

When that 240 hp comes in at 2500 rpm and there's also 800 lb-ft of torque coming in at 1500 rpm, versus the 365 hp coming in at 4500 rpm and half as much torque as the lower hp motor, coming in at over 3000 rpm, I'll take the lower rpm hp and low rpm high torque any day for towing up a mountain, versus a high rpm race motor stuck into a pickup.

The EcoBoost is not necessarily a high rpm race motor and actually has diesel like low rpm torque.

My DT466E makes only 250 hp, but it reaches that hp at about 2000 rpm and reaches it's 800+ lb-ft torque output at 1400 rpm and maintains that torque flat up to redline. My truck runs 42" tires with 5.38 gears.

I'll be happy to load my truck/trailer to 30,000 lbs combined weight and put it up against a 6.2 gas F350 with over 100 hp more than my motor puts out (and about half the torque), loaded to the same 30,000 combined weight, on the same grade, starting from a stop at the bottom of the hill...

Here's the analysis of the 2.7 EB vs the 3.0 ED and it doesn't even have 365 HP.

Can anyone share a picture of the door sticker for their Ram ED? Interesting idea, but as I'm overloaded on my Hemi 1500, I think I'd be way over on an ED.

For months, diesel was cheaper than regular gas here in west Mich, now since July 4, diesel is priced back up with premium gas :(

You do NOT want to see it. Tell you now, my Jeep Liberty Diesel had slightly more payload on the sticker. I will get my rig weighed soon, and expect to be a little over payload, just as I was with the Liberty.

The EcoD is about 200 lbs heavier than an equivalent Hemi. That's all you really need to know... Except that Ram is very conservative with their GVWR. When searching for my new 1500, I noticed that crew cabs, which are about 200 lbs heavier than quad cabs, magically have a 200lb higher GVWR, despite identical components.

I'll post mine up after work I can't find the ones I had posted right after i got the truck.
