As noted in my Signature, I have a Ram 1500 EcoDiesel. And, from the others, you want either 4X4 or you will need a driveshaft disconnect installed. Also, not sure what you're looking for, but the EcoD is available in Std Cab 8' bed, Quad Cab (extended) 6.4' bed, and Crew Cab 5.5' and 6.4' bed. Unfortunately, it is not available in Std Cab 6.4' bed.

You will probably be disconnecting the driveshaft on the truck every time you tow it, unless you can get a transfer case that locks into neutral, which means 4x4 rather than RWD.


X2 It MUST be a 4X4 to flat tow it!
