The 2020 Ram 1500 is built for construction workers, farmers, adventure-seekers, and everyone in between.

From Ram EcoDiesel MPG to towing capacity, our team at Friendly Dodge Chrysler Jeep Ram wants to make sure you’re getting the information you need to make a well-informed decision on the best motor for your specific lifestyle.
Ram EcoDiesel MPG
The biggest benefit to the Ram EcoDiesel is its fuel economy. This powerhouse is designed to delight for hundreds of additional miles thanks to its diesel capacity. Diesel fuel is denser than traditional gasoline, so it’s made to burn slower and last longer, helping you get the most out of your fuel tank.
With the 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 engine under the hood, the 2020 Ram 1500 achieves an EPA-estimated 22 city/32 highway MPG when paired with the standard 2-wheel drive. With a fuel economy of this caliber, you’ll be able to cruise around the Finger Lakes or from worksite to worksite without interruption.
A 4-wheel drive system is also available on the Ram 1500. It delivers additional stability and control to help you sail over rocks, trek through mud, or brave heavy snows. When armed with this drivetrain you’ll still be treated to an EPA-estimated 21 city/29 highway MPG, so you can stray far from civilization with confidence.
Ram EcoDiesel Power to Tackle Your Next Big Project
In addition to delivering this stellar MPG, the Ram EcoDiesel motor generates an exciting 260 horsepower and best-in-class diesel torque of 480 lb-ft. All this power combines to deliver the following payload and towing capabilities:
| Cab and Box Option | Maximum Towing Capacity | Maximum Payload Capacity |
| Crew Cab/5’7” Box | 9,910 pounds | 1,800 pounds |
| Crew Cab/6’4” Box | 9,950 pounds | 1,750 pounds |
| Quad Cab/6’4” Box | 12,560 pounds | 2,040 pounds |
With these capabilities, you’ll easily be able to load up your bed with heavy equipment and lengthy building items and hit the road. Need to haul a 25-foot-long trailer behind you as well? The 2020 Ram 1500 has got you covered.
