Local dealer is giving away 2018 Ram 1500 Laramie 4x4 EcoDiesels at 20K back of retail. I know the motor is not offered on 2019 1500s. Somehow, there are 100 or so available at the 20K discount, approximately 34K out the door. This motor was originally offered as a 4500 dollar option and now Ram appears to be giving them away. Why?

Does anybody have an opinion on this motor in the Ram? I know it's tow rating is a little lighter than the 5.7 Hemi gasser. Is the fuel economy that much better while towing? Any information on reliability? It's an Italian engine. Just trying to understand if the motor is all that, or something else. Thanks.
