I'm a bit of a numbers guy. Ram has sorta lost their way IMO. Low payload and the ED which to me, is too compromised. I have nothing against the ram, and it's hard to argue against the performance / value equation of the pentastar/9speed combo. But when some here are pretending the Ram ED is somehow ideal as a tow rig (especially when exceeding ratings on a half ton is easy to do) I have an issue with that, especially when other brands lead in those areas, for cheaper.

For a somewhat pokey truck,(well the pokiest on the market anyhow) that gets great mileage, it's a home run. I am not up for pretending it's going to be great at towing the house on wheels that most of us use. If I recall correctly, it requires around 110-120hp to tow an average rv at 65-70 mph, plan accordingly.

What you've been preaching for the last few months is finally beginning to sink in. I now understand that the ecodiesel will never amount to a pimple on an ecoboost's a$$. It's probably the most incapable vehicle any manufacturer has had the audacity to place on four wheels; totally unworthy of the nomenclature of "truck". Anyone remotely considering purchasing one must surely be mentally deficient. Thanx for showing me the error of my ways. I'm putting my ed up for sale & searching for a more capable tow vehicle. (Anyone got a lead on a well used yugo?)

Now that your message has been delivered & thoroughly understood, go away, PLEASE!!!
