It offers one of the most advanced diesel engines ever to be built in the mainstream pickup truck segment. This engine is perfect for Canadian drivers who want the power of a diesel engine and the ability to save money at the pumps. Ram listened to the concerns of passionate pickup truck drivers in Canada and developed the most progressive diesel engine ever made for a light-duty pickup.

Did Ram discontinue the EcoDiesel?

The Ram EcoDiesel was popular from 2014 to 2016 before it was discontinued to allow Ram to make the modifications needed to fulfill driver needs. The EcoDiesel has made a comeback in the 2020 Ram 1500, delivering a 240 HP diesel engine.
