The 2021 Ram 1500 HFE EcoDiesel Gets Up To 33 MPG Which Ram Hopes You Will Care About
The 2021 Ram 1500 HFE EcoDiesel looks just fine, which is to say it looks like a Ram, which is all I will say about the matter because Ram owners love their Rams. That’s not what Ram wants you to think about the 2021 Ram 1500 HFE EcoDiesel anyway, because the 2021 Ram 1500 HFE EcoDiesel can get up to 33 mpg.

The HFE in the 2021 Ram 1500 HFE EcoDiesel’s name stands for “High Fuel Efficiency,” and Ram says that it’s 33 mpg on the highway is “unsurpassed,” which is technically true but Chevy’s base Silverado also gets 33 mpg on the highway, while Ford gets 27 mpg on the highway in the F-150 stingiest with fuel.

As you all know, I love spending inordinate amounts of time looking for cheap used cars online. I also look at Bring a Trailer just to see what’s out there. Usually, the auctions are for yet another boring overpriced classic, but this minty 1980 Ford F-250 that sold for $97,000 is a real gem.

Honestly, I was considering dropping the platform entirely. The hundreds of absurdly priced BMWs, Porsches, Honda Civics, Alfa Romeos and Mustangs aren’t all that interesting to me. I’d expect someone to shove a classic Porsche into their garage for decades.

We’ll apologize off the bat for taking a page from old Dodge ads to create the sub-heading on this post. What we will emphatically
not apologize for, however, is our drooling over a Hellcat-powered Gladiator pickup truck.
Found over on auction site Bring-a-Trailer, this 2020 Jeep is guilty of snorting several lines of intoxicating powder power.
The crew at Dakota Customs in South Dakota have stuffed a 6.2L supercharged V8 into the face of Jeep’s new pickup truck, creating a machine that’ll surely hang with competitors both on- and off-road.
A dyno run is said to have recorded peak output of 546 horsepower and 522 lb-ft of torque, according to a chart in the auction photo gallery. This is a testament to the high friction driveline losses one finds in off-road focused vehicles like the Gladiator. However, this amount of power is hardly a trifle and will surely cause explosive acceleration when the driver flexes their big toe.
As the first new Frontier since the outgoing generation was introduced in 2004, the 2022 Frontier finally sports modern pickup-truckish looks and more onboard technology to help it compete with contemporaries from Ford, Chevrolet, Jeep, and Toyota.
But while the Frontier might be new, Nissan has in fact been building pickups for the US market for more than 60 years. The legacy of the 2022 Frontier started with the 1959 Datsun 220 which, according to a company press release, was the first compact pickup truck in the US.
