ggdad1951 Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 Saw some new ads for the new RAM trucks. Sad to see they changed the grill away from the omage to the latter B and C series grills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merle Coggins Posted December 16, 2017 Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 From what I’ve seen recently, the new redesigned models are going away form the gun sight grill all together. They’ll all be like the previous sport models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're a bargain. Your just not thinking of all the safety, engineering and modern conveniences the new cars have. They're also saving the planet with lower emissions.

Flatie46 Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 To be honest my post was an attempt at sarcasm. In regards to the high prices. 60-80k for a truck is ridiculous. They do get tremendous fuel mileage, engines last longer than ever but at the price they charge they better. I know the car makers are saddled with expenses from all the GOV agency's. And they have to meet all the crash tests safety, etc. I guess I'm just too tight to pay that kind of money for something that doesn't come with a mail box and a welcome mat. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What will I expect for mileage on my 2018 3500 dually that’s coming any day. Usually the clean air makes me sacrifice something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd B Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 I only get 10.5 to 11.5 on my 2011. That’s one reason I have so much respect for my dodge dealer in Shawano. Back in 2011 I went to 2 dodge dealerships and 2 Chevy dealerships (sorry). All told me I would get17 plus for mileage. The Shawano dealership said the sticker may say that but I am telling you that won’t happen. Since then I have bought 3 new trucks and my son is also waiting for number three to show up. I respect there honesty and that works both ways because the family hires my business to do most of there work on there homes. I never thought of asking what kind of mileage I should expect on the new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what kind of mileage you'll get, but I know it will be better than what you'd get from a comparable sized gas engine. Mileage depends on so much more than just the engine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
