Default 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.

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.

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

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?
