For 2020, the Ram 1500 is back with a 3.0-litre EcoDiesel V6 engine. While attending the medial launch of this model, The Car Guide got the pricing details we were waiting for.

The diesel-powered 2020 Ram 1500 will start at $49,395 in base Tradesman trim with rear-wheel drive and a Quad Cab. This is the MSRP, so you have to add $1,895 for freight and delivery.

The EcoDiesel is a $5,800 option over the standard 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 on Tradesman and Big Horn and a $3,900 over the standard 5.7-litre HEMI V8 on Sport, Rebel, Laramie, Longhorn and Limited.

The 2020 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel is available across all models and configurations, including a first-time offering in the Ram Rebel.

The EcoDiesel V6 can also be specified with the Ram 1500 Classic, which is based on the previous-generation truck. Pricing in Quad Cab 4x4 configuration starts at $51,370.

In case you forgot about the important specs and performance figures for the third-generation EcoDiesel, here they are: 260 horsepower, 480 pound-feet of torque and a towing capacity of 5,697 kilograms (12,560 pounds).

As for fuel economy ratings, they will be announced closer to when the 2020 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel goes on sale early in the fourth quarter of this year.
