One year with 2023 Ecodiesel

[OhioCamper52]

I now have 11.000 miles on my 2023 Ecodiesel Bighorn Crew Cab. My experience: No issues of any kind. One recall to reprogram the ABS/ESC. Actual average calculated MPG for 11,000 miles: 22 City; 32 Highway; 29.4 combined. The combined results do not include towing. When towing, I am averaging 13.3 mpg. I drive conservatively, no more than 5 mph over the speed limit and usually at the speed limit. I easily beat the EPA ratings of 21 city, 29 Highway and 24 overall. My truck has active air shutters, and a tonneau cover both of which I believe help mpg. The dash calculation does read .5 mpg higher than actual mpg on average. It ranges from 2 mpg high to .5 mpg under the calculated results.. I have a 3.92 rear axle, which helps acceleration and towing. My belief is that this makes not difference on fuel economy because the 8 speed transmission adjusts to compensate. If other drivers get worse mpg than the EPA rating, I suggest that driving habits are to blame. Higher speeds in particular drastically reduce mpg due to wind resistance. I am very happy with the performance and mpg of this vehicle. Fuel costs are not an issue. Where I live diesel costs less than midgrade, which is what was recommended for previous my Hemi Rebel.

Great to hear! I have similar mpg on my 2022 limited with the eco diesel . Another engine option that should still be available like the Hemi.

I hope they do bring it back. They finally got it right so what did they do, discontinue.

Currently sitting just above 32K on my '22 Big Horn EcoD, no issues to report either. Trucks runs beautifully, looks great, is super comfy and perfect for our needs which include towing a 20ft boat to/from the local lakes every weekend during Summer and road trips from WI to FL and back a couple times per year.
