buying new truck
Looking at buying a 2014 dodge ram 1500 Eco diesel. Anyone has one ? My 2003 GMC sierra 1500 is in need of a upgrade. Having trouble with pulling my offshore boat up tall bridge.

Houston seem Like the best internet quote so far 31990 for slt. Hopefully a shop in Louisiana can price match or do better.

Probably a good towing truck, but I personally won't buy anyone's first year new technology...

Ram's new EcoDiesel is shared with the Jeep Grand Cherokee and built in Italy by Fiat subsidiary VM Motori. The 3.0-liter DOHC turbodiesel V-6 produces 240 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque.

New diesel
Brother-n- law bought the new jeep with one, it has more miles back and forth to the shop than on personal use.

Because not everyone wants a 3/4 ton truck. These new 1/2 ton trucks are giant sized as it is. |

Go 5.7 gas ram way before Eco, that Eco is a turns pulling a boat like you got. The ram will out tow an Eco, and gets better mileage |

Have several friends that bought the ford Eco boost. Getting about 16 mpg.

Your friends must be logging differently. Towing ain't close to that, especially not with an Offshore boat. |

Really? Your saying that a V8 hemi will get better mileage than a V6 diesel? By the way diesel has more btu's than gas hence more power. You have a ford Eco boost right? |
