with a new one damn it where were you when i was trying to figure out all these [Laughter] all right so let's go take a look at one of the new ram trucks i want to just understand what they've changed on the ram okay work trucks i understand she was walking me through and i wasn't picking it up uh jordan the jeep guy she was uh she was telling me that they got this new eco diesel thing that has a generator on the top of it and it doesn't have an alternator and i'm trying to wash rinse and repeat it and blah blah blah so here we go this is your diesel okay pop the hood here now this is the highest level trim package this is the limited this is the special edition 40th anniversary i believe it's called okay or no wait 10th anniversary 10th anniversary okay most people don't know that dodge hasn't made trucks for over 10 years what do you mean dodge hasn't made trucks in over 10 years i'll give you a thousand dollars right now if you can find the word dodge on the truck well i know it's a ram but i mean so are you saying mr brandt's sister brand okay ram has been its own brand this is a common thing on the market that we we run into all the time ram has been its own brand for over 10 years 10 years okay so this is the ecodiesel now what she was talking about was probably the etorque system which is actually in the v8s that's right there that's right there so the ecodiesel is the third generation diesel version for the half tons um it's got its turbo diesel engine inline six it puts out a ton of torque this one it does amazing fuel economy i've been really impressed and my customers as well have been very impressed with the range that you get out of these vehicles um and incredible amount of power and what's cool about them unfortunately i can't start it up for you right now is the noise they sound actually probably about the same level of noise is what you hear with the hemis 31 miles per gallon is what i was told does that sound about right that sounds about right yep okay okay what are the available engine models uh what are the engines available in the half tons you've got your v6 pentastar and that's going to come standard with e-torque you have the 57 v8 hemi and that can available with or without e-torque and now that's the same price either way i'll go into e-torque more in a second if you want me to and then you have the the eco diesel and then special edition is the trx which is your auxiliary half time that's your 6.2 liter what if i turbo charger…
