Love it, but too bad the spacing of the rear axle is not more centered in the bed. The proportions of the crew chief was spot on!
Man I can’t wait for this to be released so I can order one. Not sure I can wait for the diesel though.
I've thought hard about it and I'm not gonna wait.
It’s gonna be really hard for me to wait. I could tow my jeep with the jeep truck (probably never would) and the diesel would be nice but not sure I can wait another year. Would you do turbo or 3.6?
Probably the 3.6L. The 2.0L is cool but it's so new. The 3.6L has been around long enough that the improvements made to it are really nice now. Coupled with the 8-speed auto, I've found it to be a great setup. Also, I have a feeling the truck will hold its value really well. IF I determine a diesel would be a lot better to have, I'd be okay with trading what I have in.
Why on Earth would you think that? That's like saying the first year of the 3.6 will be rough.I think the first year or so of the Diesel is gonna be rough..so I’m holding out until the kinks are worked out. It’s gonna be a chunk of change and I hate spending time at the dealer already. Emissions delete and chip it.

The first year ram eco was the first year for that engine in the USA so I get it for sure. But the eco has been used for 5 years now. Never hurts to wait but they change things every year. You may not no it changed but literally every year things are changing. And what makes you think with that torque it will be the same drivetrain?Primarily because first runs have lots of “oh yeah or why didn’t we think that through” etc Prime example was the 3.8 TBH lots of people were skeptical of the 3.6 because of that 3.8. Anyway that much torque mated to the current drive train alone will present some problems especially how some of the guys here wheel. Good example is the first year Ram Eco ... it ain’t all cherries. I know Fiat knows Diesel they run more Diesel in Europe than we do here, been doing it longer on more vehicles. But the added weight, our stupid emissions laws, power, torque vetch etc. If I’m wrong nothing lost but a few color options. If I’m right I save myself the headache. Love the New JL already have owned 2 but the recall list on these are growing and whoever the QA people are there need to be fired.

You won't be able to delete the emission until after the warranty is goneI think the first year or so of the Diesel is gonna be rough..so I’m holding out until the kinks are worked out. It’s gonna be a chunk of change and I hate spending time at the dealer already. Emissions delete and chip it.

The irony is, all the emissions crap is what causes problems on diesels.
