Toying with switching my 2016 Laramie quad cab EcoDiesel for a 5th gen crew cab Hemi (no e-tq) Built to Serve.
Looks like I lose digital temp and cooled seats, pick up cabin room and a better ride.
A little nervous on fuel economy...
(Eco diesel has 135,000 km and runs nicely).

The fuel mileage will be a lot less in the Hemi. Went from a 4th Gen Hemi to the 5th Gen Hemi to a 5th Gen Ecodiesel. Personally the updates from the 4th to 5th Gen are well worth it but since I commute almost 70 miles a day I wanted the EcoDiesel for more range.

Welcome to the forum . You’ll for sure use more gas with the Hemi .

Thanks. That's where I get stuck. Not driving as much these days but for some reason money at the pump seems worse than the oil change deg premium. My 2016 averages About 11/100k in town and 9 on the hwy. Pulling into traffic with the diesel is not like the Hemi but you get used to it pretty quickly
