Anybody drove a 2020 model Ram 4x4 with the 3rd gen EcoDiesel engine? If you don't mind let's save the Ford/Chev/Dodge BS that usually ensues, as I've owned them all, but am curious about this specific truck and engine. Thanks.
........................If ya go Ram, then get either the 6 cyl or the 5.7 Hemi.... Imo, stay away from the diesel.
Why, specifcally?
..................Down the road repair costs for one thing. And. Diesels are more money going in on a new purchase like several thousand dollars. On an average Ram 1500 where say someone might tow around 10,000 lbs or less, then a diesel imo is not a good choice....However when ya get up to towing 15-20-30,000 lbs or more, then a large amount of torque like 800 + ft lbs from a big diesel is certainly justified.
And besides. NO diesel engine sounds as good as my 5.7 Hemi Ram with two 18" magnaflow straight thru mufflers. I am very biased towards not only a V8 but also the way it sounds.
