Current owner of 05 ram 2500 Cummins to tow trailer / with 2 UTV. Total trailer weight around 5500 lbs.
Need to upgrade old dodge with a new 2016 truck.
I am told by most to get another Ram 2500 diesel or Ram 1500 ecodiesel. Drove both and both are very nice trucks that perform well, but I am very interested in getting Colorado diesel hoping to see better mpg while towing as well as truck alone! I travel abt 25-30 kmi/ year with abt 10kmi towing trailer. I have not had the chance to test drive a Colorado diesel yet!
Those of you that tow with the Colorado, how does the suspension feel pulling that kind of weight? Or should I plan to install airbags?
How about overall performance while towing? I usually run around 65-70 mph. Could Colorado maintain such speed while towing ? What kind of mpg might I see at those speeds?
How abt merging in traffic? Is there enough torque to get going ? Or to the opposite, is ir pretty sluggish?
I thank you in advance for your replies
