I love diesel. Hate DEF and problems after the warranty.
Amen
not only is he smart but he is very good at explaining, always glad to see u on here
Father and son element is priceless! Keep it up guys 👍
Yes, we like the addition of the old man. He adds an element that they were missing. Besides, now Roman will have someone to talk to. ;)

Bah-Dum-Tish!
@@2pi628 Who says he wants to talk to Roman?
👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
He's a great guy, i love him but... he kept us from 1000k... we were so close i feel like Dad spoiled it a little... not like its his truck even
DUDE - that entire MPG/L/miles analysis was FANTASTIC! What a beautiful nugget buried in the video. Might want to do a standalone of this with a whiteboard for TFL? It's really helpful man.
Love the 1500 with the new 3 Liter EcoDiesel. And Dad is pretty cool.
One thing is for certain ...
~ you will not run out of GAS.
Exactly
I from indonesia, i following TFL channel, i love american pick up truck. I want to buy import from america and i will drive in indonesia. Wow, feeling good 🤩
I've always looked at the Gpm as like looking at the cents per ounce price when you go to the grocery store.
The clerk always looks at me funny when I try to buy 1 egg for 12 cents.
going 100km/h what was your fuel economy ? vs. going 120km/h on the highway where u got 9.6 L / 100km
When the rest of the crew does their MPG tests it's almost always at 70 MPH (112kph). Those extra 8kph might have been in the diminishing return area of the transmission.
Ecactly, drag gets exponentially worse the faster you go, optimal speed is around 100-110km/h I think
@Slickpete83, I believe I am the only person in the country who drives at 100 kmh.
@@rightlanehog3151 👍 if i had a truck i would drive slow as well because I'm cheap 😂🤣 , wish toyota made the 4runner in diesel
@@Slickpete83 I don't think Toyota wants to navigate all the emission compliance issues around Diesels in North America as only their Hino commercial trucks come with Diesel engines over here. Having said that, driving at a more reasonable speed always saves a lot of fuel no matter what you drive. BTW I am willing to share the slow lane if anyone else wants to use it.
This is the very reason why you shouldn't buy a Tundra. Most used door on a Tundra is the fuel door.
i agree with you 1000%, toyota should have brought their 3l turbo diesel or the 4.5l turbo diesel to the tundra and tacom to the US, toyota is really stupid by making too much options on their cars, vw uses the same 2l tdi in almost every cars, from the golf to the amarock to the vw bus........
The most used door on a RAM is the hood.
@@mikefoehr235 Fix it Again Tony.... the older ecodiesels were known for blowing up and having tons of emission problems....with all the diesel emissions crap i would just stick to gas but who knows maybe they got this 2nd gen ecodiesel right
Tundra
Best in class towing - No
Best in class payload- No
Best in class interior- No
Best in class fuel economy- No
Best in class sales - No
Best in class 0 to 60. No
Tundra the turd no matter how you slice it. No matter how you paint it army green, still Tundra the turd looser.
@@mikefoehr235 thats not a door....
For people like me who lives out of USA its nice to watch this video with the numbers in kilometers.
Im been thinking about a ram 1500 but im picking the ram 2500 with the 6.7
Why? Unless you are to actually use it to work with, you're wasting money
Agree if you tow something heavy get a 3500 not a 2500 otherwise 485lbs of torque from that Ecodiesel is plenty. I know F-150 and F-250 use the same crew cab now so you don’t even get a bigger truck
The question is why not? There's not much if any price difference between a 1500 and 2500 with their respective diesel engines! It's always good to have more truck than you need!
andrews I daily a f250, why not? Sure the suspension is rougher, waste more fuel, harder to park, and more expensive to run/maintain but I like it and whatever makes me happy is worth it. I like f150s but once you go diesel you never go back. Honestly just bought it cause it looks cool and I idle it alot/drive alot so mileage isnt a big issue with diesel and with gas after 200k miles you start to have more trouble selling it without a huge depreciation hit
RRPowerstroke we call them Texas Cadillacs down here and guys like you all hat no cattle but hey whatever floats your boat
Unit per distance might help you with the initial purchase in knowing the savings, but in daily life, distance per unit is way more helpful in my opinion. If you're running low on gas, it's super easy to look at how much you have, and estimate how far you can get on it. I know when my gas light comes on, I still have about 3 gallons left, which I know means I can get another 50-60 miles if I don't drive aggressively. That math is a lot easier to do (and a lot faster in the momentary panic of "Oh no, I'm low on gas!"), rather than "Okay, I have 3 gallons left, and I get 5 gallons per 100 miles, so that's 60% of 100 miles, which means I could get up to 60 more miles."
I realize it's pretty much the same thing, but I'd rather know how far I can get on a given amount of fuel than how much fuel it's gonna take to go a given distance.
Thanks for stating clearly what I was thinking!
@@davidtaylor5811 You're welcome.
Tell me a country thats sent man to the moon and back and uses liters per 100... Lol.
i bet you make it to Quebec and back without stopping for fuel if you were in a non offroad trim like a Laramie with air suspension and the larger fuel tank
I'll never get why French native speakers are so uneager to have only a minimum of other languages in their life. Pretty much everywhere in the world a stop sign says 'STOP' but for some reason it says 'ARRÊT' where French is spoken. At least it's the same color and shape.
The fact that you don't understand MPGs doesn't make it a bad measurement
I went from a 08 Silverado 4.8 to a 2019 ram hemi and I used to go 280-310 miles on the Chevy and I go 380-420 miles in the new hemi. 13 to 18 mpg gain. Same tank size
Love it, one afternoon in the summer of 1994, I was curious to know how far a tank of gas can take me on my new Toyota corolla, I fill up and took the same route as yours. I forgot how much litter can hold in that tank but remembered it was $24 to fill up. Went to Montreal and back none stop the car drank the last drop of fuel on the 401 ramp out to Port hope. that was over 880 km .
Save yourself the drama.... 10:49 ..... 587 miles to the tank, 24.5 mpg
Much better than the Hemi. I test drove one and found it hard to keep it above 14mpg. Average was more like 12.
I drove 573 miles with the optional 38 gallon fuel tank .
33 gallon
There is no 38 in ram 33 is the biggest
they went 586 miles
FYI I have a 2015 Hemi with small rear end and I get 900km to a tank on the highway doing 121 km/h... its way more fun to drive than the eco diesel, $60 oil changes, gas is way cheaper than diesel in Saskatchewan.
Finally sum gud back ground music. Problem wit diesels is the cost of the package. Their was a tyme wen the duesel engine was cheaper than the gasoline engine.
Yes! The good 'ol days before the ENVIRO-NAZIS. Imagine how good the diesels would be without all of that crap on the motors. Sad.
I had a 2017 Ram 1500 SLT ecodiesel. Was getting 650-700 KM per tank. Exhaust Manifold cracked for some reason. Traded it in and just got a 2021 RAM 1500 Rebel with the 5.7 L Hemi. Now I'm getting 495-510 KM. I kinda regret the bigger engine.
Father and son super tame 👍and nice truck man
Just found this I have 2021 ecodiesel limited and upgraded from 2015 ecodiesel deleted. Best option is the 33 gallon tank and I cruise at 90kmph my truck has the higher gears and can pull 36mpg if I'm not pushing big head wins. My dash will say 1400 km and 1700 km when I fill up. Great real world testing.
I was super excited for the baby diesels because I thought they would deliver the best range. Nobody offers the larger fuel tanks with the diesels though, so the best range I could find was a 3.5 ecoboost with the 36 gallon tank. I always get over 650 miles to a tank (about 1,050 km) and the power makes it much more enjoyable to drive.
So much potential but they’re hamstrung by the emission requirements that sap power and the DEF tank gets in the way of a larger fuel tank.
If you pass by Montreal , Gibeau Orange Julep it's a must
Well that rain didn't do you guys any favors on the way back.
i have taken it a bit further and in my mind use the marine terms of gallons per hour, my truck burns about 2 gallons an hour... and sure i could use half throttle pulling out on to a road with no traffic but if i use full throttle and merge with traffic it winds up being a a little better than if i wait... the best thing i can do for fuel economy is get where im going and shut the engine off
Love the music!
You said if you do not want to see bug guts all over your truck, do not buy a white truck. But the black grill you focused on was covered in bugs and showed up just as much.....
I have to add this. Love the show and how you do the real world testing. I know y’all have said that Ford is mad about the information you put out about the Bronco, but it is also because of the real world testing too. This shows that Ford just isn’t as good as the other two, plus Toyota is about to become more relevant in this segment with the new Tundra.
Toyota will never be relevant again in the half ton market. They missed their shot in 2014.
Problem is, all we ever hear about Tundra since it came out, is “it’ll be more relevant.” And it absolutely has never happened, nor will it. It’s got its little niche and that’s it, it will never expand to the rest of the full size pickup market. It just won’t. Toyota owns the small pickup segment and the tundra is merely a slightly bigger truck option that can tow a little bit more than Tacoma and still maintain customers.
When is it coming out? Haven’t heard of anything for a redesign....they just do updates.
Crunchy Black suppose to be mid to late 2021. At first it was suppose to be released in September or October of this year, but it has been said that they have had a few setbacks in testing. One site has said they are dropping the V8 for a twin turbo V6. I don’t see this happening because of the newer V8 Lexus has come out with. We know The Tundras biggest issue is fuel mileage. It’s sucks!
So did I calculate this right? About 2.5 gallons over 62 miles?
As soon as I heard the Seinfeld reference, I hit that like button.
Fuel efficiency in a pickup isn't tbat big of a deal to me. In my semi on the other hand I'm always trying to do better
"Not too soft, not too firm either".... that's what she said lol
The grand Cherokee diesel will do the 1000 km Which equals 621 miles on a tank. The grand Cherokee has a 26.5 gallon tank.
I agree my 2018 ram eco 4x4 with a 26.5 gallon take has given me multiple mileage over 600 one or two over 650.
You would have made it easy I went 30 past the numbers given in my Eco diesel.
Ok…. If I had a car that got 1mpg then upgraded to a car that gets 2 I just saved 5000 gallons. As mpg increase the number of gallons used decrease and vis versa. It’s simple math. Personally when I look at a vehicles fuel economy what I’m thinking is how far I can go without having to fuel up. And MPG is far easier to calculate. 24galX25mpg gives me 600 miles of range. Doesn’t get easier than that.
I heard a whisper that the diesel jeep gladiator will be rated for 8.4 L/100k Highway which is unbelievable for a truck that in configurations has the same or better payload rating than the ram
Right! And the jeep is like a brick going down the road... I want real world tests then
Ruben Braekman on a trip from San Diego (where I live) to Albuquerque and back, the 3L diesel I drove in with another dude from our jeep club, we averaged 27.9 mpg in the 4 door JL diesel and there are of course a couple very substantial mountain passes. Payload was right around max capacity with all the camping gear and that’s mixing in the 20 mile off road trek in and out of the paved roads
Do you thing the 3.92 rearend is too low for the diesel?
Isn't that similar to percentages, just a wild guess on my part! Keep up the great work .
If you did 90-100 km/h instead of 120 you would make the 1000 and still fuel left 😉
Yeah! Only crazy people who don't care for their safety or the people around them go 120 or faster where I live...
I’m sold …. Just need some 2021s to make it across the border, some zero percent financing and the bank will be a proud new owner of the truck I’ll be driving.
TFLoffroad
, Can you review Ram Rebel EcoDiesel on one of those muddy beautiful trails. It's most torque of all the line up. Should be best candidate for off road fun?
How much fuel was left in the tank? Could you have made it? My Ram fuel guage is way conservative and when I think I'm on fumes there are still a couple gallons left when I fill up.
I would say about 1.5 L since the tank capacity is 98 L and it took 96.5 L to refill at the end. ( obviously there could be some variance for fuel in the filler neck and there is also some "expansion space" allotted when they rate the tank capacity)
All cars do that now haha, when I fill up at 1/5 of a tank vs when I'm all the way at 0 it's basically the same amount 😂
That’s good gas mileage for a pickup. The Ram is a beautiful truck but long term reliability and diesel maintenance are keeping me away. I can’t afford a new one but there are lots of nice used ones for sale and that’s the problem...why so many on the used market?
There's even more f150s for sale used
Bigger tank makes a world of difference. 1st tank on mine with the 124L tank was 1274km with 115 L....but I was averaging 9.1 l/100k
What you would need to say or show in a graphic is, mpg is a non linear function while gpm (or l/km) is a linear function.
My 2017 Ram 1500 4x4 with the 5.7 Hemi gets 22mpgs going back and forth from phoenix to vegas or phoenix to Durango, Colorado.
Nice. I get that everyday 🤣
when your dad was digging into them poutine fries, all I could think about was Norm "PIG" Summerton and his French Canadian poutine fries recipe video. If you don't know what I'm talking about. Keep it that way! You'll thank me!
I drove from Laramie, WY to Detroit MI in my 2020 Crew Cab 4x4 Big Horn, and only used a little over 1 tank (26 gallons) to do so. Ecodesiel is a beast for range
The gallons per mile thing is back asswords. I know if I put in 10 gallons of fuel in my truck, I get 10 mpg, I'm able to travel 100 miles. Simple. People drive in cars, we travel over distance, our brains are wired to think that way. 1 unit of this will get me 10 miles is easier to comprehend than 10 miles will require 1 unit of this. We are at point A, needing to get to point B. The GPM way you need to be at point B and work backwards. At least for me anyway.
I think you should have gone for it, that is why we watch this to get real ideas. Dad next time take one for the team.
Dodge used to have a 321 rear gear I think it was . Hat might pick up mileage if available on the eco diesel but may affect towing capacity
They still do. I've been doing a lot of research on these 1500's.
Typical lie o meter, says it's going to go further then it does, on my 14 hemi one tank said we could go 1100kms and only ended up going like 900 lol
The mileage on this diesel is not that great. My dads 5.3 v8 silverado can do 10.5 on the highway with a range of 800km so maybe like 1 litre per 100km more
Good Morning My Good Friends Of The Fast Lane Trucks & The Fast Loff Road
Excellent description of how to understand fuel mileage best I've ever heard
No one that buys a Rebel or Raptor cares about their fuel efficiency. Lol
Steve can you run a road trip MPG test on the Colorado Diesel?
Thanx for representing Canada! I wanna see if this truck could drive from Edmonton to Vancouver without fuelling up!
I’ve done Kamloops to Edmonton with just under a quarter tank left. Regular stock tank also
@@christopheracheson4731 that's awesome!!
Always thanks for putting it in miles and how miles per hour.
Did you work out your mileage by hand? I'm always leery of the onboard computers.
i dont care about how much money im spending over time on fuel, i care about estimating how much distance i have left in my tank before i run out. especially off-road. MPG is the way to go
I can do math, no problem. MPG works just fine.
There are two types of countries in the world, countries that use the metric system and countries that have been to the moon.
Wonder how well the F-150, diesel does on same test
Never realized I already used this calculation until now.
Great video!
Cool video
Why does this make me think of South Park...
I just got 800 miles from under 30 gallons, or 27MPG (3.7G/100MI), in my new Longhorn with the off-road group and 3.21 gears. Very impressed as the truck only now has 3,600 miles on it.
Can you give more specifics? Diesel or gas?
@@MrCPPG 2020 EcoDiesel… I swapped tires and wheels and now I’m lucky to get 24MPG due to the added aero resistance.
Hey guys, I’m a part time farmer, industrialist so we only own 4x4 or AWD or at least a “ Bakkie”, that’s local slang for pickup.i hail from South Africa. i am currently running a Mazda BT 50 which is basically a T6 Ford Ranger with the big 3.2 5 cylinder and now I have to say it seems we are far behind because these pickups only put out 147 kw and 450 nm. Which is poor compared to the Rams 193kw and 650nm. I have to say even for such a big rig that ram impressed me with the 9.6ltr/100km. I only get that on a good day. In similar conditions to yours however I can only get it down to about 8.8/100. I just wanted to say I’m super impressed with the ram. How much can it load and tow? The Mazda can carry 1300kg and tow 3500kg. I have loaded it a few times that far. Nice thing about diesels is that even when working hard they drink a lot less than petrol and they always feel strong
You can look at it any way you want, the amount of fuel used is still the same!
Not far! We had one burn to a crisp on the side of the road in Manitoba a couple days ago.... 2019 Ram 1500 eco diesel.... Just went up in flames!!
What was the cause? ANything clearly the culprit?
Have seen a few do that. Their is foam and sound damping insulation on the engine that catches fire on the previous gen. Many people just remove it to prevent fire.
7:29 You haven't seen bugs until you've driven through Florida during love bug season, no color will hide that!
@@js2407 haha "love bug season" lol 😂😂
I don't know why you are converting metric to an American gallon at 3.78 litres . If you are doing the mpg test in Canada you should be using the old imperial gallon at 4.54 litres. As you know that's what we were using before the metric system . I have a 2015 ecodiesel with a 3.55 gear out back . I drive at 120 kph and convert it back ,I get 32.5 mpg all day long.
Did it break down on you. Be honest.
Great video, this is interesting. Good editing as well. :)
My Rebel Hemi on the hwy is about 20 mpg depending on driving style, but gas is also about 65 cents cheaper than diesel. $47.25 per tank gas vs $63.75 for 25 gallons or 16.50 more per fill up. 5 gallons per 100 miles vs 4.08 gallons per 100 miles diesel or a difference of .92 gallons per 100 miles. $9.45 for 5 gallons to go 100 miles vs $10.40 for 4.08 gallons to go 100 miles. Plus add the cost of DEF and it will cost less for the gas engine on the highway, but city driving is all together a different story. City for me is 13.5 MPG or 7.41 gallons per 100 miles which would cost $14.00 per 100 miles. Not sure what the diesel gets for the city.
This gallons per (distance) argument is another tedious bit of 1970s virtue-signaling about saving the planet's fuel supply or whatever. Good grief. Drive the truck you like---and ignore people who have too much time on their hands.
He tried to explain the difference between l/100km and mpg and I still don't understand how they come out any different. 33mpg is 34% less efficient than 50. You convert it to l/100km, (~4.7 & ~7.13 l/100km respectively), and the 7.13 is still 34% less efficient than 4.7.
average
But Stephen, it's the same 100 gallons saved, but it's saving 33% vs. 10%, and you're saving a ton already by going from 1000 gal to 300 gal. I think it's different but not flawed.
I think this motor should be available in the power wagon. It already has lowered capacity and they’re concerned about weight off road. It would be horrifically slow, but my 180hp 12v Cummins has less power, torque, and rpm. Lol
I understand why its its flawed, mpg, by your explanation. But it's been engrained for so many years that having the Americans as a society to convert would cause a civil war lol. Last part was a joke but I hope you see my point. Love watching your videos.
Nothing better than a road trip with your old man in a pick up. Done it many a time for over 1000 miles one way. Best father son bonding you can get! I would have brought a jerrycan with me just to get that 1000 km lol.
My friends CRV gets 9.7L/ 100km on the highway ... Didn't expect a half ton truck to have the same fuel efficiency
24.5 mpg is not too impressive, my 2016 3.5 Ecoboost will get 21 mpg at 72 mph and it has a 36 gallon tank. That’s with 3 adults and one child with the bed stuffed full to the tonneau cover.
1k km per tank is totally possible if you lighten your foot a bit. I have done it several times with my EcoD. Hand calculated L/100km needs to be pretty much 9.0, don't count on the computer display to be super accurate
Wtf.... you spent almost $100.00 on Fuel? For 25 gallons.... heck no!!! 👎
The first time I saw gpm was the rating for a Sherman tank - try and get a sense for those mpg.
Driving right into the heart of an off-highway industrial region.
I don't think anyone in the US is care about measuring to be that correct that they want to switch to gl/100ml .
Hand calculated 10.21 l/100 I get that with my hemi 1500 . Tbh I'm a little disappointed
Your rant on fuel economy measurements is moot as in the new car market its on window sticker. Also it can be acquired from several websites.
Distance per volume of fuel speaks to me more because I want to know how far I will go, not how much fuel I will burn.
That's why I use L/100 km. It's the same and you can easily convert
If you drove the speed limit you would have easily made over 1000kms.
29.425 mpig. Imperial gallons. As per the queen🤓🤶
Can you do a Colorado diesel ZR2 MPG test? I cant seem to find real world results.
ARRET! Kilometers! ?????? (BUT I am a huge poutine fan)
Litre to gallon, if anyone was wondering. Is 98 litre is 25 gallons.
