    Towing - Best gear ratio

    So if my math was correct you get about 9.4 mpg? Is that about what the truck computes? Tx

    Towing - Best gear ratio

    Thanks for all the replies! All of you got more than my 7mpg. I was at 70 ish mph most of time, maybe need 65mph due to wind resistance. I didnt reset AVERAGE MPG from driving south wo trailer. Sat at a miserable 7 mpg

    Conspiracies - theory or fact?

    Free speech just gave you the right to insult individuals (nutjob) on this "private" forum. For the record.... i dont agree with everything said here either. I find this thread comical and real all at the same time.

    UConnect 26.15 Update Thread
