2023 Eco Kendall Dodge

The 2023 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel has won the “Green Truck of the Year” award recognition from the Green Car Journal for 2022. This goes to show the impressive nature of the Ram brand’s flagship pickup that surpassed the fully-electric Rivan R1T and the Ford F-150 Lightning pickup. Ron Coan, an editor at Green Car Journal, described that the Ram 1500 persists as an absolute power in the pickup market. The stylish, cozy, and connected in a way enjoyed by those who own their Ram pickup daily for personal driving; a differing take for those drivers that use this ride for work-only. We know this Ram vehicle is quite the one to enjoy for more than just work.

With the way the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel operates, owners gain a leg up on leaving behind less of a carbon footprint. The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel has the technology that customers ask for. The lower carbon emissions come from the fuel-efficient eTorque hybrid technology with higher mpg totals. We are still amazed at the power of the brand’s ability to offer to tow and its hauling abilities that make owners proud. Not to mention, the Ram brand’s knack for winning awards in 2022.

The 2023 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel Has the Edge Over Rivals

The 2023 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel has a 3.0-Liter V6 that gives drivers 260 horsepower and 480 lb-ft of torque. The class-leading half-ton torque supplies the strength to handle towing up to 12,560 pounds. With an EPA-estimated 32 mpg on the highway with 4×2. Upgrading to 4xe decreases this figure to about 29 mpg. Both options still achieve over 1,000 miles of travel between fill-ups. This ride is the top leader in the diesel range, but we’re sad to see this option go, so customers have to choose the 2023 Ram 1500 before time runs out.

The Ford F-150 Lightning can tow up to 10,000 lbs. The standard Lightning has up to 230 miles of range. The extended-range model offers an EPA-estimated 320 miles. With the Rivian R1T, drivers gain up to 3150 miles of range on a lone charge, but the rival brands didn’t win the top spot and to make matters even better for the Ram brand, the Tesla and Mercedes EVs were ranked among the worst in the industry according to Consumer Reports annual reliability survey for 2022.
