Thumbs up 2014 Ram Eco-diesel 1500 V6

Well, I had an invitation this morning to my local Dodge dealer (small group of 8), and they are going to find and bring in a 2014 Eco-diesel V6 for me to test drive. I'm studying up on them and look forward to a test drive. I have requested a Dark blue extended cab Ram 1500 Eco-diesel 4x4 and believe it to be an 8 spd automatic (upper 20's on interstate mileage and around 9k towing).

This should be fun, I'm looking forward to it. K.

Edit, one could bet on the jeep if the truck does good..............

Edit 2.1: Although I have yet to drive one, the reviews on the main thread are a must to follow. My interest is peaked for the test drive and trade.

Make sure to report back! I am interested as to how this whole eco diesel feels compared to the cummins we are used to.

Will do dj. I intend to put it through the paces including tow feature, OD and acceleration through the gears and 4wd Lo/Hi. K.

Edit 1: Shortly after posting this thread Dunn Chrysler in KY sold their dealership over to Franklin Chrysler KY. My name remains in the hat to test drive this vehicle subject to it's availability in our area. The closest available Eco 1500 Diesel is in Knoxville, TN. When it arrives at our local dealership, I'll give her a spin.

My budy got one 2 weeks ago, and he loves it. I've jumped in, and gone to the river with him, and it's smooth. You can't even feel the gears shift, and he gets 30 or over on the highway and it's got power. I swear the thing is quieter than a gas engine. You will love the damn thing man. Lucky bastard lol.
