Yes, the last video from the Texas fair shows all you can hear is the engine fan slightly while the motor is running. It's very, very quiet according to many sources.
They let the number of 27 MPG slip at the Texas auto fair this week. Not to bad..

Ram announced the EcoDiesel will have a factory tow rating of 7450 lbs. Ram suggested this is "class leading" tow rating, which is true for a base model equipped truck. But, comparing that to Ford and adding the EcoBoost option the EcoDiesel is overcome by 1 ton in towing capacity
What do you...
I've complied some interesting facts for the brand new 2014 Ram EcoDiesel straight from Ram's press release.
-The new turbo-diesel is designed and produced by VM Motori, a Chrysler Group diesel engine supplier
since 1992.
-240HP @ 3,600 RPM , 420 lb-ft of torque @ 2,000 RPM
-16:5:1...
Since after all, a diesel option is never cheap. I'm wondering how much a plain basic model single cab long bed will cost with no power options? I hope Ram doesn't run a lot of people off from high prices because of the initial cost of the diesel.
I would imagine all the aftermarket companies are doing anything they can to get a head start. The main goal of any aftermarket company is to have products ready at launch of the vehicle. I can't wait in regards to tuning of these new trucks.
