2014 Eco diesel. 120000 km. Just installed heavier rear springs that raise the rear 1" and increase payload 1000 lbs. Very happy with the truck so far, better now that I can carry more than a pair of rubber boots without the back end sacking out.

How does it handle the trailer? And what kinda weight are you towing? I went cummins, but was so close to going Eco. Still curious if it would have handled 10k

I wasn't going to say anything, but u seem confident that you have more capacity



Your truck has a semi floating axle, the weight limit is the axle shaft and bearing inside a axle tube


That's the weak link, u can air bag it, add springs all u want, but it is what it is

Axle tubes bend easy in semi floating axles with toooooo much weight


Just saying so you know, and don't wreck your truck

Pulls the trailer just fine. If your the guy that needs to pass everybody going 140 this is not the truck for you. Rides nice,gets wicked fuel economy but I'm not throwing 2 sleds on a deck and heading out to the mountains with my new springs.

No I'm more of a cruise set at 105 guy, but I like to be able to take my 9500 lb trailer and 3 dirt bikes and the wife/children and all my fishing gear along for the ride in the summer. My 04 hemi was an awesome truck, but 30L/100k at 105 was killing me. And probably that poor half ton transmission too.

A friend just got a limited Eco and says he's consistently getting 5/100 with the air suspension down all the way. Of that I am jealous.
