The Numbers Are In For The 2020 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel:

Was really hoping to see the 30 mark for 4x4 even though it will all depend on driving style.

Pretty good. I figured it would be tough for them to beat the GM numbers unless they dialed back the power. I'll take the extra TQ for any day.

When I drove the EcoDiesels several weeks ago in Minnesota at the Ram media launch, I was impressed with the real world economy. I drove the exact Tradesman truck that TFLTruck claimed outrageous numbers on and with me it got about 28 mpg. Now this was a Quad Cab 4x2 model with the max towing package with 3.92 gears and mixed driving while not hypermiling it...



Also drove several of the Crew Cab 4x4s with air suspension and was getting 24 mpg with 3.92 gears and that's with idling time for pictures and video shooting... again very impressed.

Since there was an embargo on reporting actual MPG for the ecodiesel, is it possible that the vehicle wasn't calibrated to give an accurate MPG reading on these test runs? Perhaps your MPG could have been a little better than "advertised" by the readout on the truck. Although now that the EPA numbers are released, these readouts look pretty accurate.

It is kind of lame that the TLFT guys haven't updated their video with second run results yet.

All the trucks we drove were production-spec. We drove in real world conditions in Minnesota both city and highway

Thanks for the reply.

Sounds like the Tlft guys got super lucky or made an error then. Bummer, that would’ve been an amazing result even if it only occurs in perfect conditions.

Thanks! That’s pretty impressive mpg for that truck. Thanks for posting the details of the truck as well.

Off topic, but is there any clue as to when ecodiesels will arrive on dealer lots for test driving? I’m in the market for a new truck before winter sets in.

You can order a eco diesel right now . I just did yesterday . As of right now dealers can
only order sold trucks no trucks for inventory.

WTF 6MPG better for Canada ?

WTF 6MPG better for Canada ?

Our testing is bogus and the numbers are always inflated. Id believe the EPA numbers over these.

Our gallon of gas is bigger than yours

 

[HST]

Pretty much the same numbers they got over at TFL web site. US EPA use a dyno
that they calibrate for the weight of the truck . I do not know how they test in Canada .

 

[bgmshrm]

Our gallon of gas is bigger than yours

And costs more!

Imperial gallons vs U.S. gallons

Thanks for real consumption values. If any one has other values, please share with us
