I see what you did there.I'm getting over 30 half miles per gallon.
Took me a minute too but then, I’m old...I see what you did there.
I'm only up to about 750 miles on mine, but I can't even get it to avg 14 with a good mix of highway and town. Hopefully will get better with age and it's been cold here in IA. Plus I've been just running the cheap 87 w/ethanol in it. 89 seems hard to find here so I might try a few tanks of 91 when I get some more miles on it.
Slimchance,just got back from a 400 mile trip thru the mts of nothern Pa and only got 11 mpg hc .... oh btw, i was pulling a 7,000 # TT and the GCVW was 14,500 # CAT scaled
Good for the 3.92’s for sure.Just rolled over 5900 miles on my Big Horn. 4x4, 5.7. 3.92 rear. My average mpg is running from 18,7 to 20.3. I'm getting better mileage than the taco off road I traded for the Ram. Very pleased with the truck. Only one recall and that was the ORC reflash on the air bag shut down.
That is interesting, please keep us updated about the results of the reflash.Well, here's an interesting tidbit for those of you wondering why your milage is terrible compared to others. I'm now strongly of the opinion that it's the individual truck, not the driver. My truck is in the shop to resolve a wind noise issue (which they acknowledge is definitely obnoxious, but can't find what's causing it), so I currently have a 2018 loaner that is also 4x4 and crew cab. I'm easily averaging 3.5+ mpg better doing the exact same commute. I immediately noticed that I had to give way less on the pedal. I went from averaging barely 16 mpg to just under 20mpg, on 50/50 highway city.
My truck is supposedly the same engine and transmission, yet more aerodynamic and 400+lbs lighter, but somehow gets worse milage? There's definitely something wrong. I've asked the dealer to update the PCM/TCM, which hopefully that makes a difference. I would be way happier getting 20mpg over the crap I've been getting so far.
Food for thought.
