Types of Diesel Trucks

What Diesel Trucks are Popular with New Hampshire Drivers?

We often have customers come in to our dealership concerned about having limited options when deciding whether to purchase or lease a diesel truck. Luckily, your options aren’t limited and we see a wide range of diesel trucks drive onto our lot. We want to use this blog to inform drivers in and around Epsom, NH what their options are when purchasing a diesel pickup.

Ram 1500 EcoDiesel & Heavy Duty Diesel Trucks

Ram is no stranger to powerful vehicles and their diesel lineup is no exception. The surprisingly sporty Ram 1500 EcoDiesel offers an innovative 3-liter V6 engine with a block made of compacted graphite iron, featuring aluminum twin-cam heads. The B20 biodiesel capability and standard Active Grille Shutters allow this engine to put out 12,560-lb max towing and 2,040-lb max payload with surprising fuel economy and rugged reliability. That means your efficient, half-ton pickup can tow your camper and handle daily tasks at work.

The Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 heavy duty pickups also have diesel options that put out even more power and higher performance than the 1500. If your truck will consistently be towing and hauling heavy loads we recommend looking into these trucks. Every Ram truck has a great set of standard safety features and come with a variety of modern technology options that make them for enhancing your daily drive.
