2014 RAM Diesel 1500

My thought is that a small diesel is WAY overdue here. We have a rather skewed perspective. Look around the world. Small diesels are everywhere but here. As long as the powertrain proves to be reliable it should be a big winner.

I'm driving a 2014 Ram with the V6. Never thought I'd want a pickup with less than a V8 but I'm quite satisfied with it in fact power wise its more fun than any V8 I've owned including a prior hemi. This is in large part due to what the 8 spd tranny does for it. No its not a heavy hauler but I'm not needing that. I'm getting 20 mpg mixed highway/city, good enough that I sold the car I was driving. I much prefer a truck.

I did the math thinking I might wait for the ecodiesel. Its basically a wash, the way they are priced. If towing/hauling a lot the edge would go to the diesel. I opted not to take the risk of bugs with a new powertrain.
