2020 RAM 1500 ECODIESEL FIRST IMPRESSIONS

- BRYON DORR

A new 2020 RAM 1500 EcoDiesel could have already rolled past you, and you’d be hard pressed to have identified it as a diesel truck. There is little too denote that the truck has the new EcoDiesel under the hood. Besides a small EcoDiesel badge on the hood, a DEF gauge in the instrument panel and the word “Diesel” on the fuel gauge it looks the same as its petrol powered brethren. Even the exhaust looks the same.

Only these small accents and a small audible diesel tick reveal that this is the new EcoDiesel RAM, until you get behind the wheel. I did just that during the vehicle’s debut to the press, where I put in long mixed road miles, tackled some off road terrain and towed a loaded trailer.
