What's so great about this engine? The 3.0 Eco-Diesel is a remarkable engine. It has lots of torque which provides power to tow, it provides excellent acceleration, it's fun to drive, and it gets 30% better fuel economy than a Hemi V8, with comparable performance.
Advantages:
- +6-10 MPG improvement in Ram over Hemi V8. You can drive a pickup or Jeep with fuel economy rivaling much smaller vehicles. This is based on EPA ratings and our experience.
- up to 900 Miles of Range! At 29 MPG highway (Ram 1500 rating) and with the optional 32 gallon tank, you can drive 900 highway miles with a 1 gallon reserve. That's at the EPA rating, but many people can beat that. There's even a challenge for truck owners who try to go 1000 miles on a tank! Even in other models with smaller tanks, the EcoDiesel will go much farther on a tank of fuel, so you can spend more time having fun, and less time filling up
- Significantly reduces CO2 emissions versus gas engines
- Smooth, powerful towing performance. This engine reaches its; maximum torque at only 2000 RPM's, so there's plenty of low-end power to get heavy loads moving smoothly
