Welcome to the Dodge Ram 1500 Diesel Forum! Please post an introduction thread.

Have had my 2017 Eco Diesel for bout a month now and love it so far I’ve just done a leveling kit and put 295/65/20 nitto grapplers on it.

Hello from South Florida. Just picked up one week ago. 29 mpg on inaugural trip 550 miles. Very smooth ride. Was so excited I forgot steps. Adding soon for my wife (and me) to get in easier. Looking forward to learning about good maintenance and modifications.

Just traded my 2019 Bighorn with the 5.7 Hemi on this 2020 Laramie Ecodiesel. Looking forward to delivery day!

New to this forum. I'm from Michigan. I got my 2020 Ram Big Horn Eco Diesel about 400 miles ago. Here she is at the plant where she was built.

I had the same model. Bought used at 25k miles. Gave it to my stepson at 179k miles

Hi! I just traded in my 2018 Chevy Colorado Z71 Duramax for a 2017 Big Horn Ecodiesel. The reason I went this route was a) I was offered more in trade for my Colorado than I paid for it over two years and 30,000 miles ago, and b) the Colorado/Duramax, while certainly capable, just seemed like it was always struggling a little to tow our 22' travel trailer.

I actually made the deal in the middle of a camping trip in another state. The Ram was equipped exactly as I wanted it, and the price was significantly lower in the Midwest than what they are going for where I live (Colorado). The Ram had fewer miles than my Colorado (35,000 vs. 37,000). I ended up paying the dealer $3,000 plus my trade in.

Towed our camper 1,000 miles back home with the Ram. The Ram is WAY more comfortable than the Colorado. It's got so much more room, and the interior is so much nicer than the Colorado. The fuel mileage was nearly identical (around 13-14 mpg driving about 70 mph on the interstate). The Colorado was a more off-roady vehicle (more narrow, shorter wheel base, beefy all-terrain tires, etc.), but I really don't do any off-roading. The closest I come is driving on rough Forest Service roads in the mountains, which the Ram should do just fine on.

So, so far, I'm extremely happy with my purchase. Hope it continues.

Hello all from MO! Recently picked up a 2022 1500 Eco Rebel Night Edition (just rolled 1k on odo) with the tow group, Rebel 12 package, Rebel lvl 2 equip group, 33 gal tank, etc. I have added the Dualliner, RetraxPro XR tonneau, AMP Research power step, full rear 5% tint, 35% tint on front sides and windshield AS1 line, Core HD cargo bar, Truxedo expedition storage unit, stone/bug deflector, window deflectors, and perhaps most importantly McGard cone bulge black lugs. (why put chrome on a night ed.???)

First pickup but have been MOPAR for a long time, 5.7 Durango then a '18 scatpack charger that got traded in for the 1500 after being rear ended. Went Eco as I do plenty of highway miles and will tow.

Looking to still add a low profile retracting bed step, Yakima Overhaul HD Racks and possibly the Tazer DT. Loved the tazer in my scat but still on the fence given fewer used features and some stories I have read with the 1500's.

Sofaking tune somewhere down the road, throttle lag is not anything near what I have read from the recall experience.

Look forward to learning from you all and helping others if I can.
