I had my truck in for warranty work this week and was given a 2018 1500/V6 as a loaner.
For some reason, it stayed in eco mode no matter what I did? Manuel gears or not? It was a crew cab sport I think. No frills like my tradesman but a nice truck.
Overall I felt it was a good truck. Decent power for a v6, fuel mileage was very good, up over 18 city. I did miss my 2500 though and having the 1500 for a day confirmed my choice in going to the 2500 was a good one for me.
But again, it was a nice truck and the v6 didn't feel strained or underpowered at all with the 8 speed. That dial shifter is goofy though. I don't care for that at all. The ride was very good, didn't feel the harsh roads much at all. Similar ride to the Silverado 1500 I traded on my ram.
Just figured I'd share.
