The truck received minor updates after a extensive facelift. This includes a revised color scheme that now includes Blue Streak, Granite Crystal and a front park assist system that can detect objects up to 47.2 inches (120cm) away. A variable displacement air compressor is also available, as well as a pulse-width modulation blower. These help reduce parasitic engine losses and improve fuel efficiency.
The engine’s 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 EcoDiesel produces 240 bhp (179kW) and 420lb-ft (568Nm) of torque. The engine is connected to an 8-speed automatic transmission, which will allow the truck to achieve the highest fuel economy rating in its class.
The 2014 Ram 1500 is priced at $24,200, which includes a $1095 destination fee. The EcoDiesel engine will be $2,850 less than similar models equipped with the 5.7-liter HEMIV8 and the eight speed automatic transmission.
