2014 RAM Diesel 1500

I have owned 4 Dodge diesels, a 98, 02,05 and a 12. the 05 would make 22 mpg at 75 on the Interstate. The 12 would do a best of 16. The others were in the 18-20 range.

I traded the 12 in on 14 Hemi. You are right on the resale value of the diesel, I traded for a buck!

I wanted the new 1500 diesel, but it was not available yet when I traded. I have driven the new 1500, and was impressed! I think 24 mpg would be realistic. And probably 15 mpg towing.

It is rated torque wise the same as the Hemi. My Hemi has no problem towing my open trailer or my boat.

I drive about 40,000 a year. The plan is trade for a 1500 diesel after the 1st of year.
