Yeah I'm going to say there must be something wrong with your truck or you don't have clue when the truck is actually doing a regen. Most of the regens take 8-12 miles depending on if your cruise on the freeway or in traffic. I've seen mine complete a regen in 20°F weather with the truck started cold in less than 22 miles.The the emissions filter reaches 80% quite fast if you just run around town & to clean it out, it takes about 40 miles for the evic to read 20% if you are driving at 70 mph in 8th gear
if you run in 7th gear at 70 mph, it clears in 25 to 30 miles
Very well said. If I ccould buy a v6 limited, i would. I will drive the Big Horn all over Texas and will let you know how it does. So far, everything is comparable about mileage and performance to my Grand Cherokee.My feelings on the trade offs between the three engines in the 2021 new body Ram are below. Given the slight cost difference, and increased performance, I would not consider either of the gas engines without Etorque.
o V6 Pentastar Etorque = Best of 3 for short trips, low speed stop & go traffic, low cost maintenance, payload (weight), reliability. 2nd best MPGs. 3rd best towing.
o EcoDiesel = Best of 3 for long trips, high speed low traffic, towing, torque, MPG, longest range, quietest under load. 2nd best for reliability (tied with 5.7 hemi).
o 5.7 Etorque: 2nd best for short trips, cargo (weight), maintenance cost, reliability, towing. 3rd for MPGs. 2nd best for reliability (tied with ED).
If looking at Ram Classic, there are the 2 gas engines, no Etorque. The V6 will give you better reliability and more cargo weight capacity at the cost of power and tow capacity. i'd get the Classic with the V6 if I needed the cheapest possible choice for urban grocery hauling.
