Ram 1500 diesel penciled looking for fall
Curiously, the best class of vehicles for diesel motors has never gotten one. Half-ton pickups are ideal, as lower fuel consumption and greater torque is type of a no-brainer for a pickup. However, the fix is in, as a Ram 1500 diesel will be introduced this fall. When have you desired details about a new or pre-owned car and turned to an internet search on financing vehicle?” Look no further, whatever you want is located at CarDealExpert.com!

Motor to get shared
There are two benefits to a diesel engine over a gasoline one. Diesel motors have better torque than fuel motors and have much better fuel mileage. That is why it is so unusual that there are no half-ton pickups with diesel motors in the States.
Torque, boys and girls, makes a difference when towing a boat or trying to dislodge a stump from the earth. More is better.
That is about to change though, according to USA Today. Ram will be releasing a Ram 1500 diesel with the same engine found in the Jeep Grand Cherokee diesel. It is a six-cylinder diesel.
Going to Italy
The Grand Cherokee diesel gets 420 food-pounds of torque as a 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V-6 with 240 horsepower, according to USA Today. The Chrysler 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 gets fewer foot-pounds of torque though it gets 120 more horsepower, but it is made in Italy.

The engine has been used since the 1990s in Chrysler diesels and is from VM Motori, which is really owned by Fiat. The Cherokee diesel is rated at 32 miles per gallon highway, according to Engine Authority, so it is expected that the Ram 15000 diesel will get around 30 miles per gallon highway. It will have an automatic transmission, which helps with good gas mileage.
In terms of trucks...that's a home run. It isn't the only Chrysler-brand automobile that might acquire its first oil-burner. According to MotorAuthority, if the Cherokee diesel is successful, sales-wise, it might lead to a diesel Wrangler.
Paying a premium
Buying the Jetta diesel costs about $2,800 than the gasoline version while that Grand Cherokee diesel costs about $4,500 more, according to Car and Driver. The Ram 1500 diesel has a ton of potential and could certainly save a ton of cash in fuel, but it will cost more. Producing a diesel vehicle utilizes more complex engineering and is more costly.
Cummins is a really well-known business that produced good engines, so it is good to get it. It also means that an $8,000 premium is anticipated on the Ram’s diesel as a premium, according to USA Today. That is a ton of cash to spend at a dealer like Miller Dodge Chrysler Jeep, but it could certainly be worth it if you save a ton of fuel.
