EcoD vs Hemi 5.7 vs V6

[Arth]

Add me to the Ecodiesel list. I've owned many 4th Gen Hemi's and the power is great but with my work driving jumping to a 80 mile commute I needed to get better MPG's on the highway. I bought a 2019 Hemi with the E-Torque and it worked great no issues. The 16 MPG average was a tough pill to swallow.

Switched to a 2021 Ecodiesel and the 27-28 mpg average on the same loop has me sold. I miss the power of the Hemi but can't argue with nearly 900 miles of range out of this thing.

Did you consider a Prius?

The answer is still NO, he doesn't want to buy yours

Nope. Unless something changed about a Prius being a Ram 1500 and having the towing capacity I need. Maybe I missed that part.

Or maybe it was the part where I don't need two vehicles. Huh.

Well, I don't care about gas/fuel mileage.

If a Hemi 5.7 got 5 mpg and an Eco-Diesel got 50 mpg I'd still have a Hemi.

I did "drive" (if that's what you call it) a Prius. Once. It was the loaner from the Ford/Toyota dealer when my wife's Explorer was in on a warranty issue. I'd mostly prefer to ride my bike.

Yes I have. I'm on the fence with it as trucks with it have 0 resaleability. And mainly only come in a tradesman. Im wanting a bighorn/lonestar

Definitely false. The 3.6l is actually heard to find used here in Canada atleast. Definitely has to do with our outrageous has prices.
When I was first looking for a Ram, I would find a Pentastar or 2 on a dealer site used, call them or die up for a test drive.. Gone, sold. Can't keep them in the lot. High demand. I ended up buying new, a 2019 classic. Bought at Canada's highest volume selling ram dealer. That being said, sales manager there said that the Hemi was just barely outselling the 3.6 when I asked if they were selling many of the V6 trucks.

Folks down here in Texas and other Southern states I guess just don't want them. But, like you said they're hard to find. The dealership that I bought my 20 new body from has 5 stores and not a V6 on any of them. Then again this was in June
