Just got the build sheet from Chrysler this week, just found this in my file with my truck records, no clue I even had it.

Wonder who they bribed at the EPA for the 17 highway...

The build sheet gives you a little more info than the window sticker, but I have to agree about the MPG, it's just too funny. Maybe going down hill in neutral, LOL. Actually I should have said maybe going down hill with the engine off,

IIRC, EPA mileage estimates were average for all engines in a model class. That means that 12-17mpg was an average for ALL RAM pickups regardless of engine size. While the diesels would have raised the average, V10s like mine probably brought it right back down.

Didn't realize that about the ratings, but that makes sense. Think that would be a bit clearer on the window sticker.

And zman, you're right, more info on the build sheet, but really only requested it for the axle ratios because I was too lazy to jack it up and count rotations..lol

I'd have to say that's because the EPA does not exist in Canada.
