Watch the video closely and look at the temp gauge of the Ram. Notice it's getting up there and this is a cold day. Wonder what it would be like doing the test in the summer?
It's really not surprising - the Ecodiesel was not built to tow. Low HP and low payload does make a great TV. It was built more as a marketing stunt than anything else. "Look we have a 28 MPG pickup". Ignore the fact that Diesel costs more than gas, oil changes run $100, it costs more than the competition and you will never make your $$ back. Oh, and ignore the sub 1,000b payload too.
