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

I think it did as well as can be expected for 240hp. To put that into some perspective, my 2014 Jeep Cherokee has 271hp, and a 4500# tow rating max.
Ram realizes what most here fail to. People who need a vehicle for frequent or heavy towing in extreme conditions should buy a 2500 or 3500.
People who want a comfortable fuel efficient family hauler that can also do some light towing should shop for a half ton EcoDiesel. Many people complain when car and driver or comsumer reports give a truck negative comments when they say its step in heighg is too high or it rides rough. They respond with "you dummies, its a truck". Many here are doing the same. You have a truck designed and built for comfort and fuel economy then put it in about the most extreme towing test you can in the U.S. the bash it when it drops 5 or 10 mph.
That's kind of like saying a pair of pliers are judged poorly when used to pound in nails.
