2014 Jeep Wrangler (20 mpg hwy) vs 2015 Ram 1500 (25 mpg) differences?



I have a coworker who bought a Jeep Wrangler last year with the 3.6L Pentastar engine and 5 speed automatic. He has seen the commercials for the 2015 Ram 1500 with the 3.6L Pentastar, and saw the 25 mpg highway EPA rating versus his Wrangler's 20 mpg highway rating.

He was wondering why his Jeep is rated so much lower than the Ram is. I am sorely lacking in Chrysler knowledge. Do you guys have any insight into why there is such a large difference in the mileage? The Jeep is 4wd and the Ram is only 2wd with those ratings, but it doesn't seem like that should account for a 5 mpg difference.
