    V-8 Gas Mileage Better Than V-6

    My jeep computer mileage was always very close to actual and since the software is similar between the two trucks, I believe it is a good comparison. Now if the Ram was way below the Jeep I would probably get the calculator out.

    Hellwig? Hell, yeah!

    Found some Jeep parts in the garage. Sold them and used the money to buy the sway bar from Summit. Their warehouse is just a few miles down the road from me, so I didn't have to wait on shipping. Plus, it is always a kick to walk through their retail store.

    V-8 Gas Mileage Better Than V-6

    Yes, 2wd and no lift. I have had lifted vehicles in the past. I doubt I will do this one.

    V-8 Gas Mileage Better Than V-6

    I think that is why I was so surprised. The same basic driving patterns between the two trucks. I just assumed the V8 would be worse gas mileage than the V6. Yes, the Ram is more aerodynamic, but the Jeep is lighter. Even better the V8 is still in break-in mode, the gas mileage may improve.

    V-8 Gas Mileage Better Than V-6

    My son asked why I sold the Jeep and bought the Ram. Simple, it needed new tires. There are plenty of good tires on the market that will be similar in weight to your OE. Many of the top brands are over built and the weight is a killer.

    V-8 Gas Mileage Better Than V-6

    I had my Jeep Gladiator for 3 years and consistently got 18 mpg. It had the Pentastar V-6. So, I was very apprehensive about going to the 5.7 with gas prices getting so high. I was thinking of waiting for 2023 and the new Hurrican engine. Hoping the gas mileage would be better. But I found a...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Thanks. I checked with two dealers that you can order below MSRP and the price was $2k better than they could do on a similarly equipped truck. A few differences like the rear seats are not heated. My must have was the GT package. Came with 9 miles on it so it wasn't a demo. End of the...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    Landmark in Morrow GA has all Rams MA at $5k plus another $1500 for environmental fee. Whatever the hell that is. However, they did mark down a beautiful Laramie GT $10k off MSRP. That is a $16,500 swing. It is now in my driveway. Thank you very much...
