I get 24-26 hwy and 20-22 in town. Big tires and 3.92s.
How much does your trailer weigh and what mpg do you get towing it?
My trailer is about 1600lb empty and the last time I towed it was around 2500 miles. Loaded in the trailer was a John deer gator, 2 cords of firewood and probably 1000lbs of misc hunting/camping stuff. I’d estimate the total weight around 6000-6500lbs including the trailer weight.
Thanks for the quick reply
36k miles, 35" tires, 4x4 and 3.92 gears. I get 21-25 average, its possible to hit the 29+ with stock tires if you are on a long flat highway going 65, but with heavy city I usually get 21, never even been able to get the truck below 20 and I'm not an easy driver.
For what it is worth.....Just picked up my 2021 Laramie 1500 4x4 with 22 inch rims with 285/45R22 and 3.21 Drove 90 miles on hwy and got 31 mpg Started up the mountain for 50 miles and to 6000 foot level and average dropped to 25mpg Too new to give any long term accurate info
Actual measured consumption since my truck was new in early November:
The dash claims it's a bit higher, but I'm too lazy to go check exactly what Trip B (which has never been reset since new) shows.
This is a 2021 Laramie with stock 18" wheels & tires, 3.21 gears. Primarily highway miles where I consistently set the cruise to 10 over, so most often 80, less often 75. The bed is generally full of stuff, but under a tonneau cover, and there's usually one or two passengers on board as well. No towing, virtually no true city driving, but some suburban and country roads, as well as some dirt roads.
I just went out and checked it.Actual measured consumption since my truck was new in early November:

I just completed a cross country move from Washington State to Rhode Island with a detour through Utah (4100 miles total) with 1200 pounds passengers and cargo. When I arrived in RI I showed an average of 28.9MPG on the meter. However, that was impacted by a snow storm on the last day. I was showing 30MPG even when I stopped for the night in Niagra Falls, NY at 3900 miles the night prior. During the mountainous sections I was averaging 24MPG. I actually out performed my wife that was riding convoy with me in our Subaru Outback (25MPG) with a cargo carrier attached. I definitely noticed a 30+ MPG on sections of road that were relatively flat and speeds between 50-65MPH.
