I really love this truck. I was an early adopter having got my EcoD off of a lot in Apr14. It was intended to be primarily a tow vehicle for a 24' enclosed trailer, 7400-7800lbs. The daily driver back then was an semi-restored 80's classic that I tried to keep out of the rain, so the tow vehicle...

My EcoD's life is probably a little more severe then usual. A lot of 10mi daily commutes and monthly tows of 7-16hrs roundtrip of a ~7500lb enclosed trailer. I sent an oil sample from my second oil change to Blackstone labs. The oil load had 10k miles on it and I wanted to know if I should...

I bought a Laramie 2WD Crew about 14 months ago. It was to be a tow vehicle for a ~7600lb enclosed trailer. It has done that job really well. Best of all, the ride, handling and noise level is vastly better then the 2000 F-250 it replaced. I took a risk buying it. I wasn't sure how well the...

I've really grown to like this truck. I've a history of lousy car decisions but maybe this one breaks the pattern. I like it so much that, unexpectedly, it's become my daily driver. Last weekend I drove the boys across the state for a soccer tournament. 6hrs, almost all freeway, pretty flat...

I've had an Ecodiesel for 5-6 months now. I'ts my first experience with a "modern" diesel engine. I've been reading about folks growing concerned about the OEM fuel filters not adequately filtering out small particulates, say 2-5micron, which then blasts the high pressure injectors. These guys...

Heading out this afternoon for a race weekend at Carolina MotorSports Park, a track near Columbia, SC. Trailer is loaded a little heavier than usual, because I'm taking the kid's kart, and a set of tires that are going to a buddy. Call it 7600lbs. Truck is a Laramie 2WD with 3.55 rear...

I'm on Fuelly. Just did 2nd fill up. 25% city driving. The freeway time was @78mph. #'s worked out to 25.0mpg. EVIC agreed precisely, which agrees with the other descriptions of EVIC being surprisingly accurate..

I've grown used to having an aux tank in my tow vehicle. Once/month I tow a 7400lb 24' enclosed trailer 7-16hrs round trip to distant events. My tow speed isn't all that fast because diesel is a big part of the race budget, but I'm always in a hurry to get to the event on Friday night, and then...

I ordered a Big Horn on 4Mar. It was built on 28Mar then went into some QA Check limbo for 31 days, where it remains to this day. My dealer apparently couldn't get any info on what was going on. As the weeks in QA Hold came and went I started thinking that I was not at all sure that I wanted a...

I ordered a Ram 1500 Ecodiesel a couple weeks ago. Truck is still in a "Production Scheduled" status. Being an American boy, the wait is hard. A lot of 1/2ton pickup owners wonder what the charm is for a truck that gets a little better mileage, but wants more expensive fuel, not to mention...
