I have been watching for official EPA numbers to be published by the epa for a bunch of new stuff but it isn't there yet. Rumors are the new gas by Ram is 27 highway but they don't have the city, it's combined might be as good as the diesel Ford but that's what I'm wondering. Also the new ecodiesel isn't even possible yet so it's numbers are long off. GM's are also doing a 1500 diesel for 2019 and it sounds like not using the new one they just made for the Colorado but a new inline 6. For me the inline 6 would be the one I would wait for at least to see if it is a contender compared to the others and it looks to be the last out.
As it stands now a used 28mpg rated ecodiesel Ram is the way to go. I can give up 2 mpg highway for a $30,000 savings at buy-in. I also want to see if they do any special leases on the new v6 gas as it will do what I want as well and I have seen under $200/month leases no money down in years gone by. That might be worth a 3 year experiment for me.
