Ecodiesel

Thinking about buying a ram 1500 crew cab 4x4 with ecodiesel. Need pros and cons. Will be daily driver. Drive 60 miles round trip to work all interstate.

 

Pro: you will save a consierable amount of money using the EcoDiesel, powerful engine
Con: louder than a hemi but probably quieter than a cummins

Looking to buy ecodiesel need help with pros and cons of the truck. Will engine and tranny last.

 

Do you plan on doing a lot of long driving? I was talking to a friend whom works at a dealership and (please correct me if I’m wrong) if you don’t drive them for long enough time frames you get a message on the screen saying you need to go for a 30-60 min drive

awesome fuel mileage the trans is as good as in the hemi but you have to drive a fair distance when you drive it as it has to regen, either than that you will love it.

 

You might want to check the EcoDiesel forum. There are LOTS of engine failures. I had a 2016. Loved the truck, but got rid of it because of all the reports of engine trouble. Seems you either get a good one which lasts for 100's of thousands of miles, or it will blow up and any given time??? Doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason. It is a known problem. Hope this helps...

 

Plan on being a daily drive takes me 30-40 min to get to work all interstate

 

ecodiesel has pretty good fuel economy with the driving you are doing it will pay for itself pretty quick you will enjoy it very much.

 

^^ should be ok -
Since it doesn’t sound like ur hauling, a gas motor may be a better choice for you. But hey, what ever floats ur boat. I would drive a hemi with a 8 speed and an eco so u can have a good understanding of the two trucks and how they perform and make a decision that best suits ur needs.

 

I have a 2015 crew cab hemi. Really like the fuel mileage of the eco diesel
