How about its fuel economy? I've debated getting a PowerWagon.

5.7 or 6.4?
I test drove my buddy's 5.7 recently and cannot believe how grossly underpowered it is
I could only imagine MPGs in the 10-12 range
I've had it about 3 weeks now...I'd say a good day of mixed driving is 12.5 mpg. Not great but it is a 3/4 ton, fully locked, 4.56 geared truck.

Surely the engineers working no the Ram trucks can figure out a way to squeeze the ecoDiesel in the Powerwagon. I've heard the reasons why the cummins can't go in the Powerwagon, but the ecoDiesel is a smaller engine, so surely it could be engineered to fit without sacrificing things like the winch, or electric sway bar disconnect.

That's not bad at all. Right about what mine averages.
Everyone gets too caught up with fuel mileage numbers. If the truck does what I need it to do (comfortably) then I don't really care much about the mileage.

Too bad it flopped horribly in the Ram half ton
The tow rating and payload is horrible for a 1500 series and is grossly over priced

Figured I would throw an updated picture or two of mine in here with the Leitner designs cargo system rack and the cvt mt. Denali on the rack... 2004.5 Dodge Ram 2500 cummins 6 spd manual...

I don't know if any of those containers are for fuel but here's an inexpensive
way to pick up 3-4 gallons.

The red rotopax is a 2 gallon gas can, and I plan on adding a 2 gallon diesel yellow can to the rack as well. I've never seen that Vent tube kit.. very cool! The black boxes toward the front are just storage boxes.

I drank the koolaid and am a die hard cummins driver, but that is a sweet dirty max you have. Well done
