Fuel mileage varies a lot. An awful lot.
- The worst: in early March, near freezing temps, towing boxxy travel trailer, fully loaded (with water even), 6500 lb travel trailer against 40 mph headwind west across Texas. I was checking every couple of hours, resetting trip meter. Most of this day was with cruise set at 65 mph. Anything slower would have resulted in getting rear ended, as speed limit was 80 mph. 11 to 13 MPG that day.
- Normal towing along I-81 (moderate mountains) it gets 13-15 mpg with that trailer. 55 to 65 mph.
- Best towing: When towing west bound across Kansas, mild tail wind, the mileage was 18 mpg. I'd never seen 18 mpg in 40 years of towing.
- The best: Just me on relatively flat NYS Thruway between Syracuse and Buffalo. Heavy traffic, light rain, no wind. Speed between 50 and 65 mph. 32 mpg over three hours of driving.
- Every day driving around where I live means mostly rural roads, and a little suburban and city driving thrown in: 24 to 27 mpg, depending on load and driver "aggressiveness".
All these numbers are off the truck's computer. I've hand calculated mileage a couple of times and the computer is about half a MPG optimistic. Only one thing I can say for sure.... this truck gets better mileage in any situation than any other mid-size or larger truck or SUV I've ever used or owned.
I couldn't be happier with the performance and mileage of the truck.
