True that!! I just want power baby the extra MPG with a diesel is just a bonus

If you are looking at the new 2016 Rams and want the 900 lb. ft of torque they are now offering in the Cummins you have to get the Aisin Trans and either the 3.73 or 4.10 gears!!

I have a 2016 Ram with 4.10's and love the power it has. While towing my Montana it climbs any hill I put in front of it and it only downshifts once in a while. I am currently traveling across country and have been averaging 11.5 mpg towing. When I start off from a dead stop I sometimes feel like I forgot to hook up the 5'er! I didn't buy the truck for fuel mileage, I got it to pull the Montana comfortably any where I wished to go. Towing spec's are Trailer GVW - 31,210 lbs., Gross Combined Weight is over 39,000 lbs. Got to love those numbers!

I have a 15 F250 and during a trip to Redding Ca from Livermore I got 11.5 and return trip i got 12.3. I used the cruise and the truck worked great. I have the 3.31"s. I wasn't sure that was enough gear but it pulls nice. I am also impressed at how easy it gets up to speed when getting on the freeway. I get around 18 to 20 unloaded at 70
