What Changes Resulted in the Most Efficient EcoDiesel to Date

The new 2020 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel had to change significantly to achieve high fuel economy numbers. A new water-cooled Variable Geometry Turbocharger was introduced. This gives the trucks better throttle response while also being more efficient. Intake ports were overhauled to improve performance. New fuel injectors were added, along with new pistons to also improve fuel economy. Even a new brake system featuring low-friction blades helps contribute to fuel economy.

EcoDiesel Emissions Updates

Ram also made big changes on emission systems. A new dual high/low pressure exhaust gas recirculation is used. Compression ratio was also changed to 16.0:1 from 16.5:1 to further reduce exhaust emissions. The SCR, or selective catalytic reduction system, was enlarged by 50% and includes a new Diesel Oxidation Catalyst with DEF injection.

2020 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel Information Revealed

Until now, the new body-style 2019+ Ram 1500 trucks have only been available with the 5.7L V-8 Hemi, or the 3.6L V-6 Pentastar engine. Modern gasoline powered engines are significantly more fuel efficient in 2020 than they were even a few years ago. While their fuel economy is impressive, it’s no match for EcoDiesel engine introduced in the Ram 1500 trucks in 2014. Previous Ram 1500 trucks equipped with the 3.0L V-6 EcoDiesel Engine have brought fuel economy of up to 29 miles per gallon on the highway, while also posting impressive tow ratings. Until now, an EcoDiesel hasn’t been available on the newest generation trucks. The year 2020, however, will mark the availability of a redesigned, 3rd generation 3.0L V6 EcoDiesel Engine in Ram 1500 trucks.

The new 3-Liter V6 EcoDiesel Engine received an increase of 60 lb-ft torque, and 20 horsepower over the previous generation. Peak torque is reached at 1,600 Rpm, that’s 400 rpms lower than the previous generation. Max tow capacity has been improved to a whopping 12,560 lbs. Ram expects this new EcoDiesel to lead its class in fuel economy, while also leading the segment in torque with a total of 480 lb-ft of torque. Ram certainly seems to be making a statement in 2019, as they also released their 5th Generation Cummins that can produce 1,000 lb./ft of torque.

The 2020 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel is Available in Every Configuration

The 2020 Ram 1500 featuring the new 3.0L V6 EcoDiesel engine will be available in all models and trims. For the first time ever, the Ram Rebel will be available with an EcoDiesel engine!

Changes In The 2020 3.0L EcoDiesel Engine

EcoDiesel owners are in love with the fuel economy, but in 2020, they’re going to be in love with the new-found power these trucks contain as well. Significant changes had to be made to accomplish these higher numbers though. Aspiration changes included a water-cooled Variable Geometry Turbo (VGT). A new EGR system design incorporates a low-pressure circulation system. Essentially, this low pressure system pulls exhaust gases after the trucks’ DPF. New Cylinder head intake ports increase flow for fuel economy and performance gains. Fuel injection changes include new high-pressure injector nozzles (29,000 PSI). Lastly, Aluminum Alloy Pistons were totally redesigned with thinner rings and low-friction coating on pins and side-skirts.

Focus on The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel Experience

Just like with the 2019 Ram 1500 trucks noise, vibration, and harshness were a primary concern. Ram wanted to provide Ram 1500 truck owners a more powerful and more quiet truck. Improvements were made to many components on the truck to make them quieter. Examples include offset piston pins, a re-designed bottom end to the trucks’ oil sumps, and the usage of a CGI block to reduce vibrations. Expect this to be the most quiet EcoDiesel to date!
