Does it have the exact same options? Weight matters too.

Wheel and tire package between the two? I'm assuming they were both the same axle ratio?

Welcome to the forum . I would say weight between the two . A Longhorn will weight more than a Sport .
Both were the same on everything tires, rims fuel tank size, axle ratio, maybe this one just needs some brake in time. Have only 3000km so far

Mileage should improve as things wear in. There's a lot of friction in a tight new motor.
From Fueleconomy's website It looks like the hemi 4wd has the same fuel economy between 2019 and 2022.
Unfortunately some builds are better than others. Some trannys run hotter, some engines are more thirsty. Hopefully it isn't a dramatic difference. I should add I've never noticed improved fuel economy as an engine breaks ins. Loose engines have more oil blow-by and generate less power. Engines are broken in at the factory to improve reliability and reduce warranty cost.

Winter blend fuel is worse for fuel economy. Summer blend should add 1 to 2 mpg at minimum. I see a 3 mpg difference between the 2

Congrats on the new truck!

- Mine was worse until about 4k-5k miles or so, give or take. Some report it taking longer. Give it some time to break in.
- Sport vs Longhorn is a little weight difference, but not a ton (pardon the pun). That may effect it a little bit, but not much.
- Winter blend fuel, all else being equal, will always net you worse MPG. Last year, my truck was about 1-2 MPG worse. This winter, its a solid 2 MPG worse so far.
- Every engine can be a little different, you may have just got a little thirstier one.
- When you say they were the same on tires, were they the same identical tire brand/model/tread as well (not just size)?
I don’t always trust the DTE reader but even just the
19 sport had 22”s also for
Summers with close to the same tires as this one.
thanks for the reply ! Good to know! Yeah for my winters I have 20”s and for the summers which we haven’t really used yet they come on the truck 22”s. The old
19 sport had 22”s also for
Summers with close to the same tires as this one.
My truck was delivered on December 10th last year, so no warm weather driving for me yet. I burn close to an eigth of a tank driving to work one way. My drive is 35 miles. I have around 2600 miles on it, and have noticed a slight boost in mpg recently. Things seem to be getting seated.
