I test drove a grand Cherokee with the Eco diesel and I wasn't blown away by it. The peak torque is in the low rpm range, so it comes and goes quickly.
Ultimately, the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel won out over all of its competitors. Those competitors were the Ford F-150 with 2.7L EcoBoost engine, the Chevrolet Silverado High Country with 5.3L V6 with 8 speed automatic transmission, and the Ford F-150 with 3.5L EcoBoost engine.The premise is simple. Trucks have to work in the real world, and so they have to work here. The judges drive all of the trucks back-to-back three times along a 17-kilometre loop: once when they’re empty, when they’re pulling trailers, and then with loads in the beds. The full-size trucks pulled 2,721 kilograms, while the mid-size trucks towed 1,814 kilograms, and all carried payloads of 454 kilograms. Once they shed their burdens, they also went through a challenging off-road course.
THEY CANNOT!What is GVWR?
I just think that if people are interested in both, they shouldn't have to choose.
Ultimately, do you think that Ram would, or at least consider, offering the EcoDiesel as well for the Rebel?
I'm just curious.
