2014 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel Long-Term Road Test - Edmunds.com
2014 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel Long-Term Road Test: Introduction April 30, 2014. With the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado nearing its one-year anniversary in our long-term test fleet, we knew it was time to start shopping around for a replacement. Last year, the Ram received a healthy refresh to its exterior and interior styling, and the frame was strengthened and lightened. Not only is the Ram our favorite half-ton, but it also received a brand-new 3. 0-liter EcoDiesel V6 engine option for 2014, making it the only pickup in the half-ton class to offer diesel power. We wanted to be one of the first owners of a Ram with the new diesel, so we searched far and wide to find a truck that worked for us. We finally found one in Laramie trim, and traveled to Newark, California, near Silicon Valley to pick it up. What... The Ram is no different, with nine trim levels (with an additional two for the top-end Laramie version), three bed sizes, three axle ratios, three cab configurations, three engines and two transmission choices. All trims are available with rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive except the High Fuel Efficiency model, which is rear-drive only. The EcoDiesel is available on six of the nine Ram trims.
