Hello Ram 1500 Diesel!
Have been driving/testing these for a while now, but couldn't say anything, until today! And yes it'll have plenty of towing capacity... Chrysler wrote: Ram to Build Industry's Only Light-duty...

I think the Diesel will flop in the Ram. Why? Cost!! You have less power than the Ecoboost or Hemi. You have higher fuel costs and higher maintenance and/or repair costs. Just makes no sense when, say the Ecoboost has the flat torque of a Diesel, OK fuel economy, lower maintenance costs, and uses cheaper gas.
You may be right... but if this engine can get 30mpg highway, 24 combined and 15 towing an RV, it blows the Ecoboost out of the water. 10% higher cost but 30 to 40% better fuel economy... that is a game changer.
