I'm seeing a $3,500 discount off MSRP on a 2022 truck I am interested in locally. Is the price of diesel putting a discount on these trucks or is the 3.0 a turd? Do they pull the mileage 21/29?
I know there have been a few iterations of the 3.0 since it first came out. The first ones had issues which is why it wasn't initially on the new Rams.
From what I've read across the board from Ford, Chevy and Ram and their 3.0's is that they get great MPG & tow well for a 1500. But then there's the handful of people or service advisors(talked with ford/chevy ones recently) about all the emissions issues that can pop up.
While this is just my train of though, but for 80k, would you rather look at a 2500 unless you don't want that big of a truck?
Diesel just isn't worth it (unless actually needed for work) with all the current emissions systems and ~$2 premium (vs 87) on the fuel.
They are not a bad engine. The problem is they suffer from awful dead pedal in stock form and are not very responsive from a stop.
Once the turbo comes on and you get moving, they have great power, however, and the MPG is as advertised or slightly better.
Like the Pedal Commander.Apparently, there is some legal tuning out there to address that.
They’re known for rod bearing and man bearing issues. Plus the cost of diesel. I’m not surprised.
I think that is for the previous 3.0 used in 2017 and below trucks. They changed the oil type and it appeared to mostly solve the issue.
I apparently haven't paid attention to half ton prices because I had the same reaction. That's not a whole lot cheaper than I paid for my F450.$80,000 for a half ton???

At some point, didn't they change from VM to Fiat engines?
