Hi Guys/Girls,
Been around here for a while but traded in my 2019 Hemi Limited for a 2020 Limited with the blackout appearance and EcoDiesel. Other options are 3.92, 33 gallon, sunroof, trailer brake control, tow hitch, anti spin.
I liked my 2019 but the Hemis mileage was getting annoying. I babied the hell out of it and was getting miserable mileage (worse than my previous 6.4L Jeep SRT). I also didn't like the lack of low end torque around town and going up hills. I drive about 35,000km a year and it's 95% highway.
I decided to give the EcoDiesel a try because the incentives are good right now and they offered a decent trade in for my truck. So far in the short drive to my detailer (getting fully detailed, full PPF) I can say I'm very impressed. The torque is immediately evident and it accelerates effortlessly with very little throttle input. It's incredibly smooth and quiet, so much so that when I first started it I had to double check that it was on.
At slow speeds while accelerating you get a hint of diesel clatter but it's very muted and not offensive at all. At cruise it's completely silent and just chugs along. On a short 30 mile drive to the detailer at slower speeds (60-65mph) I was getting 32mpg.
I'll post more driving impressions as time goes on and some more pictures once it's back from the detailer.
