My ‘24 2500 with 3.73 consistently gives me over 16 MPG on the highway if I keep it at the speed limit or a few miles over. I try not to exceed 78mph on a 75. The faster you go, the faster a vehicle with a frontal mass of barn door will eat fuel.

Weren’t your ‘14 2500 a 6 speed automatic? That would account for the low mileage more than the gearing.

I've owned it since new, purchased in 2020. '21 model year. It has been a workhorse. No issues so far.

Rippa now has warehouses in the USA with parts readily available. 2 year parts warranty but owners perform their own service. Most Chinese minis provide no warranty or service. My mini excavator complements my Mahindra tractor.

I ended up buying a new Rippa R18-5 Pro with a D902 Kubota engine. Digs effortlessly and it is smooth with true pilot controls, load sensing valves, piston pump and hidden travel motors. It is a real 2 ton machine weighing a few pounds over 4,000 lbs. So far so good. $18k delivered. On the photo...

Got the pad done today. Need to make a landing for the steps.

My 6.4 tows just fine. Saved $12,500. Diesels are good for long hauling, towing heavy and frequent. I don't tow heavy or frequent, so diesel was not a sound financial decision for us.

That’s a great price!

I did a search on Carvana for a 2020, 2021 and 2022 2500 diesel vs gas and on average the difference was around $7,000 more for the diesel (trim level depended). While it is true you get more on resale, you also spent more buying it, running it and maintaining it. Even with the extra coin at...

Check your starter cable again. But this time undo the nut clean the connector and the tighten it really good. That was my issue with sporadically not starting.

I got it to work. I tapped the purple wire without removing the plugs.

I honestly wasn’t trying to stir the pot that time. I was just talking about my experience.

I had an argument with a few diesel fanboys about how gas engines tend to lose less gas mileage towing than diesels and they were not having it. I used my previous diesel as an example, 24HMY unloaded, 14MPG towing. 42% loss in MPG On Ram 2500 6.4 normally I get 12.5 mpg combined. 16.5 best...

Best I've done is 16.6MPG on the highway. I get impatient behind idiots driving under the speed limit, so I smash it to pass them.

MSRP- 1 billion dollars. No thanks.
