July Fuel Economy Yields Worst Tank Yet - 2014 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel Long-Term Road Test
With nearly 40,000 miles on the odometer, our long-term 2014 Ram 1500 hasn't had many changes in fuel economy lately. Then we decided to tow 5,000 pounds with it cross-country.

While the new EcoDiesel 1500 may not be super fast with heavy loads up a grade you're rewarded with much better fuel economy and it still has enough torque to get off the line quickly and pull at a relaxed and safe pace. It absolutely can tow and should be considered a tow rig, just if the payloads and weight you plan to pull are a match for it's capabilities. You're also rewarded with great economy when not towing. The same can't be said of the Hemi or the Ford EcoBoost. They're terrible when towing and only marginally better for daily driving type duties.
