Model-by-Model Fuel Economy Sections

RAM 1500

The RAM 1500 is a light-duty, everyday-use truck that offers an outstanding balance between efficiency and capability. Several engines are available.

There's the Pentastar 3.6L, which comes in both a 2WD version that achieves 20 city, 25 highway, and 22 combined mpg, and a 4WD version that achieves 19 city, 24 highway, and 21 combined mpg. The trims that typically offer the Pentastar engine are the Tradesman, Big Horn, Laramie, Rebel, and Limited Longhorn.

Then there's the Hurricane 3.0L, which offers a 2WD model that achieves 18 city, 25 highway, and 21 combined mpg, while the 4WD model achieves 17 city, 24 highway, and 19 combined mpg. The trims you can find with the Hurricane include the Warlock and the RHO. The off-road 4WD RHO version offers the lowest fuel economy, with ratings of 14 mpg city, 16 mpg highway, and 15 mpg combined.

RAM 2500

The RAM 2500 is designed to be a heavy-duty work truck capable of handling demanding towing jobs. The engines offered are a Cummins 6.4L V8 engine or a 6.7L Cummins Turbo diesel engine. The EPA doesn't test heavy-duty trucks, such as the RAM 2500, but the estimated MPG for the 6.4L is 14 city and 18 highway, while the diesel engine offers 16 city and 21 highway. As real-world conditions vary, the MPG may differ from your experience.

RAM 3500

When it comes to power, you can't beat the RAM 3500 as it's the most powerful in the lineup with the best heavy towing capability. Similar to the RAM 2500, the EPA hasn't tested this model, but the estimated MPG for the 6.7L Cummins Turbo Diesel engine is 16 city and 21 highway. The MPG can vary significantly based on towing and real-world driving conditions.

Factors That Influence RAM Fuel Economy

  • Engine Type
  • Gas vs diesel vs mild-hybrid
  • Transmission and gearing
  • 2WD vs 4WD
  • Payload and towing
  • Aerodynamics and weight

Real-World MPG vs. EPA Ratings

Please note that your actual mileage experience may differ from the EPA ratings. Factors that can impact your fuel efficiency include:

  • Your driving style
  • The loads you carry
  • The terrain you're driving over

The EPA ratings are used for comparison, and aren't a guarantee due to these potential differences in your driving and the tests used. When considering your MPG, think about how you plan to use your truck, such as whether you want a daily driver or the best towing capacity.
