Best year

[tbone]

I am looking at a 2015 eco and was wondering what is the best year for that engine and I pull a 32' travel trailer weighs 7900 dry but I am really liking the eco mpg well thank you in advance for all the info. Plus if I tune or delete wil that help in towing

The best year is the newest one with a warranty!

With that said, welcome to the site.

Thank you and that is the reason I don't have one yet.

Well I am kinda partial to the 2015! (I think the White ones make the most HP and Torque)
That said, you are at the upper limits or over with that size travel trailer for sure.

 

[tbone]

The white ones lol yes that's what I thinking on the camper

If you cannot get the 2500 or 3500 with a Cummins Diesel, skip the EcoDiesel altogether and save yourself headaches.

That's what I am thinking but thought I would ask I was on a FB group and they said the same well thanks for the info

I have a 2015.it was Great till the new emissions flash was done. I swapped the ECU and it is much better. I have a 28ft trailer I pull with no problem ir you get it put load bags in the back.

 

[tbone]

Those bags are a must on all 1500 rams and thank you for the info

I have a 2016 eco diesel I pull over 8’000 lbs had know trouble but keeping it under 70 mph was tough going up hills coming down hills I found out my had I exhaust break in it they usually don’t come with them. But it was great. It hold coming down hills. Mines a longhorn, Laramie edition. Tragically came out a candidate was Canada truck I don’t know if I made a difference of the exhaust brake or not

I would say your truck might have an aftermarket tune. I don't think any ecodiesels came with an engine brake. Maybe someone will correct me though.

That size of trailer would not be fun or safe to tow.
I have a 2022 and a 28’ and it’s a hand full on ten ply tires. Miss my one ton.

Hmmm, I tow a 26' 6600 lb. (fully loaded) TT properly set up on a scale with WDH, airbags, 10 ply tires, and Helwig sway bar. tows like a dream
