On the tailgate of the Ram 1500 is a tag that says HFE in large font while High Fuel Efficiency follows beneath in a reduced font size; merging the words on this tag with Ram 1500 gives us the full name of this new and fuel efficient RAM 1500: the 2021 Ram 1500 Tradesman HFE EcoDiesel. This model focuses more on fuel efficiency and economy than it does on performance.
