    Towing with new 6.4L

    We tow our 6,000 lbs., 27’ travel trailer with our ‘24 Ram 2500 4x4 and consistently get between 9.5 to 10.2mpg hand calculated.

    Towing with new 6.4L

    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.

    Towing with new 6.4L

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

    Towing with new 6.4L

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

    Towing with new 6.4L

    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.

    Towing with new 6.4L

    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...

    Diesel/Gas justification banter?

    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.

    Diesel/Gas justification banter?

    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...

    RAM 2500 Bighorn 6.4L Starting Issues

    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.

    2020 2500 6.4 Fuel mileage

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

    2020 2500 6.4 Fuel mileage

    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...

    2020 2500 6.4 Fuel mileage

    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.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Not sure if anyone knows but Carvana recently jumped into the new car market. There are several new Ram 2500s with great discounts. I've purchased from the before and I love the 100% hassle free process. I was looking at a 2026 Warlock 6.4 in Granite, but it is now under Purchase in progress. It...

    Towing with new 6.4L

    For us the dinette was a must. Ours has a full size queen bed but there is the option to choose a murphy bed that turns into a nice sofa (which I like but my wife does not). I think the murphy option and dinette hits the sweet spot.
