The 2020 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel Beats Them All

The Ram 1500 already stands out from competitors in its class for its combination of capability, comfort, and technology, but now you can add even more accolades to the list with the addition of the 3.0-liter EcoDiesel engine to the lineup. Ram trucks are known for their reliability, power, durability, and overall build quality, as well as the smoothest and most advanced suspension of any full-size truck. So, adding the best diesel option to the list might be just enough to catapult the 2020 Ram 1500 to the top of any list.

One Great Award Winning Truck

When you think Ram trucks, you think about Ram’s emphasis on luxury and technology, with the power and reliability you can count on, and now you can add in great towing capacity and outstanding torque for a half-ton diesel engine. Really, what else could you ask for? The 2020 Ram 1500 was voted Luxury Vehicle of The Year by Cars.com—the first truck to receive such an honor. So you know you have many luxury amenities to choose from—and many standard luxury amenities you would not expect from a truck, or any vehicle, according to Cars.com. And now you have the luxury of dropping a diesel engine in your half-ton Ram luxury truck. That’s a lethal combination for truck owners—in terms of what truck owners want out of a truck these days, it just doesn’t get any better.

With this engine in a Ram 1500, you’ll be able to take your whole family off-roading in style. The drive to the lake might be the highlight of your weekend. And when you consider the impressive fuel efficiency of this diesel engine, there are even more possibilities. You will be able to use your 2020 Ram 1500 for carpool duty, as a daily driver, or commuter, and it will definitely be the first choice for a family road trip. So let’s take a look at what makes this engine such an impressive addition to the Ram 1500 lineup, and see if it makes sense for you and your family’s lifestyle.

The Ram 1500’s EcoDiesel Engine

This powerful and fuel-efficient engine is a 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6. You can expect 260 hp and 480 lb-ft of torque. The torque, as we mentioned earlier, is the best in its class. So you will not find a better diesel option in the segment to take off-road and for towing your boat to the lake. The extra torque will help you navigate the toughest of trails, giving you the low-end control that inspires confidence off the pavement. If you’re looking for an off-road trim to pair with a diesel engine, Ram is your only choice. Ford and Chevy do not offer a diesel engine with their off-road trims. So Ram’s Rebel trim is a great option if you are looking for a serious off-roader.

This is physics-defying off-road capability. With this kind of torque, and with the available hill-hold feature, you can stop your Ram 1500 Rebel on a hill beyond the angle of repose and let off the brake, and it will most likely not move an inch. It’s safe to say you will be amazed at what this truck can do, and how much fun you can have with it. This is a truck that excels in even the toughest conditions.

Incredible Towing Power

Another benefit of this engine is the impressive towing capacity. Towing and off-roading usually go hand-in-hand, and this is certainly the case with the Ram 1500’s 3.0-liter EcoDiesel engine. The towing capacity for this engine is 12,560 pounds. This kind of towing capability gives you a lot of flexibility when you are looking for a boat or travel trailer—or any kind of trailer, for that matter—a horse trailer, or dump trailer, even. You will be able to get the bigger boat or travel trailer without having to worry about safety, or if your truck might wear down over time from the weight. With Ram’s EcoDiesel engine, you will have the confidence to take the boat out every weekend, as well as to take your RV over the mountain passes you wouldn’t attempt with most other half-ton trucks.

The Ram 1500 Gets You Places

Think about how impressive this statement is: the 2020 Ram 1500 can tow over 6 tons and return up to 32 MPG. That’s a statement not many people would believe not too long ago. But Ram trucks keep redefining the segment, and this is just another example of Ram’s ingenuity and refined engineering. With the Ram 1500’s EcoDiesel engine, you can expect to return 22/32 MPG. And there’s also the option for increased fuel capacity—a 33-gallon fuel tank that will let you travel over 1,000 miles (or close to it). Just think of how long you could go without filling up at the gas station, even if you are commuting to work every day. That’s two weeks—assuming you commute 50 miles each way to and from work—before you need to take a pit stop. Or, if you happen to take your Ram 1500 on a road trip, you should know you can drive from New York City to Des Moines, Iowa, without having to fill up. However, keep in mind that road conditions, how much you have loaded into your truck, and what you are towing could impact how far you can actually go.

Equally impressive is the Ram 1500’s auto-leveling air suspension, which lowers itself at higher speeds for improved highway fuel economy. But Ram did not stop there when considering its carbon footprint. The EcoDiesel engine also boasts reduced CO2 emissions, so you won’t have to feel guilty for buying a truck with so much power. The Ram 1500 has redefined what it means to be tough.

Affordable Price Tag

Another thing that makes the Ram 1500 stand out from its competitors is maybe the most important of them all: the price. The 2020 Ram 1500 starts at $32,145. And it’s not even close. With the comfort, tech, and fuel efficiency truck buyers have come to expect from Ram trucks, along with best-in-class torque and a great towing capacity, the Ram 1500 is by far at the top of its class in just about every category.
