Used 2019 Ram 1500 Classic Diesel Consumer Reviews

Better gas mileage that my most 4 cylinders.

2019 Ecodiesel. Originally bought for towing, kept it for drivability and versatility. TONS of space inside and in bed of truck. Rugged/reliable 4WD system. I get 30+ mpg on cruise control at 63 mph. I miss driving sporty stick shifts, but can't part with this for the time being due to MPG and sheer versatility of having a truck with a topper. Handles mud, dirt roads, snow, and highway traveling like a champ. Superb stereo system and interior. Why 4 stars? Main complaint is just the same complaint I give to nearly all the manufacturers now: THROTTLE RESPONSE. The power is there, generated by the diesel. Well over 400 lbs of torque but the geriatric throttle programming that the manufacturers put into these cars is shameful. Same thing with our Suburban and even our Subaru Outback with the lame CVT transmission. Unleash the power! When a person hits the accelorator, that means they want to GO, not slowly get up to speed at some snail pace. I am convinced it actually makes people push harder on the gas pedal looking for more power rather which ironically just uses more gas. That's my theory. Back to the truck: Superb 4 WD system with limited slip differential. Crazy what you can get into and out of no problem, and that's before even putting it into 4WD. This particular model actually lets the driver select AWD as an option, then 4WD high, or 4WD low. Very impressive. Interior storage is copius for everything from tools to kids' sporting gear. Having a truck bed is a nice change - I normally drive wagons for the rear trunk space. But having a truck means not worrying about scratching the interior.
