RAM EcoDiesel a Flop for Towing
Here's the lowdown. Bruce

So, for the record, the speed limit on that stretch of road is 60 MPH, not 65.
I often see members who routinely claim that they won't go above 55 MPH on the interstate - where they are 20 MPH under the posted speed limit. They are almost universally supported on their ability to drive that speed, mile after mile. Here, the truck that can maintain the posted maximum allowed speed with it's rated capacity virtually every where else is vilified because it is 10 MPH under the speed limit (maximum allowed legal speed) on a short, extreme tretch of road.
Personally, I would rather be able to tow faster over the passes, but there is always a trade off - namely MPG. The EcoDiesel is clearly marketed for those that think MPG is more important than MPH.
