I have 543 miles on so far and getting combo driving mpg at 18.6 so far. At a good guess 40 % Town and 60% open hiway with Hiway speed usually 60 to 65 mph. I had a 2014 Ram Laramie with exact same features except three items the 14 had that is not on the 19 a drop in K&N air filter ,no E-Torque. I averaged with 14 same combo driving each time 19 MPG sometimes on most Hiway trips 60 to 65 MPH 21 Mpg.
This 19 is doing 18.5 with less than 600 miles on it almost what the 14 did with 55000 Miles. The 19 is by far different in many ways than the 14 was. Its projected (Based off last truck break in to get about 22 to 23 mpg by the time break in is done and the added options on the 19 that 14 had. Both Trucks are Crew Cabs with 5.8 Beds with 392 Rear gears. Here is a recap that may be easier to compare for all in my case fpr the MPG.
2014 Had Drop in K&N Air Filter - 19 Not in place yet
2014 Had Retrax Lexam toneau Cover - 19 not on yet (On Order)
2014 Had no E-Torque- 19 has E-Torque
Comparing non MPG features from 14 to 19 I have found a total different Ride than before Much smoother ride.Noise level in the truck is by far reduced in the 19. Air suspension is way faster than the 14 in raising and lowering the Truck with a much faster Exit entry lowering.Have not Nailed it from take off....But I can tell so far I have more low end grunt from take off over the 14. The seats in the 19 are far more Comfortable than the 14 seems like it has much better comfort. Lowering the tail gate is powered not on the 14. Wife could not lift tail gate on 14 she can do one handed on the 19. Can drop tail gate with key fob having hands full. LED head lights are much brighter on 19 than the projectors was on the 14. I saved the best for last,the power Steps are by far better to use getting in and out the truck on the 19 vs 14. The Sound System Harmon -Kardon over the Alpine is by far better sound. It may be just me but the 19 sits higher in all modes. It was noticed with nothing said by two other family members who have driven the new 19.
Cabin space in the 19 is great with the back floor being flat no hump! The storage under back seat is larger with no sub woofer under the seat taking up the space.The floor storage bins are larger and have hooks at the top for strapping rear cargo the 14 did not have.
The cabin inside with the Sliding console is fantastic and has cubbies every where. This truck is totally different than 14 with all of its updates. Not saying the 14 is a not a great truck either. The 14 Ram was a very fine truck with no issues for over 4 years I had it.
***** Have not tried out the E-locker. Will need towing in loose gravel or dirt with a good load to pull or driving in heavy snow to find out later.*****
