MPG Rating of the 2023 Ram 2500
Whether you need the Ram 2500 for work or play, everyone needs access to high fuel efficiency. This will help minimize the time spent at the local gas station and, as a result, maximize the time spent gathering materials for a DIY project or towing your trailer to your favorite camping spot.
The official MPG ratings for the 2023 Ram 2500 have not been released yet, but Ram 2500 drivers can expect some changes that will likely boost the truck's efficiency. Some of these changes include an updated engine with fuel-saving technology and enhanced aerodynamics of the truck's body.
The standard 6.4L HEMI® V8 engine, which is equipped with fuel-saving technology, is expected to be the best-in-class standard gas engine, while the optional 6.7L Cummins® Turbo Diesel I6 engine delivers towing capabilities of up to 19,980 pounds when properly equipped.
Despite the increased towing capacity, you'll find that both engines are expected to deliver improved fuel efficiency compared to previous models.
Features That Contribute to the Fuel Efficiency of the 2023 Ram 2500
There are several features that contribute to the improved fuel efficiency of the 2023 Ram 2500. The first feature is the largest-in-class available fuel tank. When equipped, the Ram 2500 can hold up to 50 gallons of fuel, empowering you to go the extra mile in your truck.
The Ram 2500 also comes equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission. This transmission is designed to provide smoother shifting and improved fuel efficiency. By offering eight different gears, your truck is more likely to stay in a lower gear even when putting in extra work, which, as a result, can help enhance fuel efficiency.
Fuel Efficiency Tips for Ram 2500 Owners
While the 2023 Ram 2500 is expected to have improved fuel efficiency, there are still several steps that you can take to maximize your truck's MPG rating. One of the easiest ways to improve fuel efficiency is to maintain proper tire pressure. It's estimated that underinflated tires can decrease fuel economy by up to three percent.
Experts recommend checking your truck's tire pressure at least once per month and referring to the owner's manual to ensure each tire aligns with the suggested PSI.
Another way to improve fuel efficiency is to avoid idling as much as possible. Engines consume an estimated quarter- to half-gallon of fuel per hour when idling. The best practice to follow is to turn off the engine if you know you'll be idling for more than a minute.
One final way you can maximize your truck's fuel efficiency is to watch your speed. Fuel efficiency tends to decrease once you reach 50 MPH and, by lowering your speed, particularly on highways, you can increase the efficiency by up to 14 percent.
