If you’re looking for an efficient and reliably powerful truck that can handle what you and your busy life throw at it, check out the 2020 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel. Whether you’re looking for your next diesel truck, or you’re wondering if you should switch over, the Ram 1500’s diesel option deserves a look-over.
Powerful Engine
The 2020 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel’s intelligently designed engine gives you the power you need to take on your busy life. This 1500 model is equipped with the 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V-6 engine that gives you up to 260 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque to play with. One of the most interesting aspects of the EcoDiesel engine is that it’s biodiesel-compatible. You can use up to 5% biodiesel as fuel without it negatively affecting your engine. This engine is matched to an eight-speed automatic transmission that’s designed to deliver seamless shifts.
Making the switch to diesel power is a smart choice for many pickup drivers. They offer higher fuel economies than their gasoline counterparts, and their tow ratings are unparalleled. If you want a truck that can go the long haul without eating into your wallet, the EcoDiesel is an investment worth making.
Excellent Towing Capacity
This year’s EcoDiesel pickup has been given even more power to tow and haul. Since the last EcoDiesel option was offered, its tow rating has been raised by over 2,000 pounds for a total of 12,560 pounds in maximum towing capacity. That’s a best-in-class feat that’s worth writing home about.
Great Fuel Economy
As we touched on before, diesel engines give trucks a greater fuel economy than gasoline-guzzling pickups. The 2020 EcoDiesel achieves a 22 mpg rating in the city and 32 on the highway when equipped with rear-wheel drive. If you opt for a four-wheel-drive model, you’ll get up to 21 mpg in the city and 29 on the highway.
Functional Exterior Features
One of the most exciting developments in the pickup truck world was the introduction of Ram’s multifunction tailgate. Equip your EcoDiesel with the 60/40-split tailgate that swings out to allow greater access to the truck bed. These swinging doors make it much easier to load your haul into the bed, especially if you’re loading with a forklift. Throw in the RamBox, which adds a cargo space in the sidewall of your truckbed to pack everything from tools to ice for your drinks.
Driver-Assist Technologies
With all the driver-assist technologies in the EcoDiesel’s arsenal, it becomes its own co-pilot. The blind-spot monitoring system with rear cross-path detection makes changes lanes on the highway stress-free, trailer and all. Lane departure warning with assist, smart cruise control, park assist, and more — the 2020 Ram 1500 is equipped with the latest modern tech to make maneuvering through the world easier than it’s ever been.
