We had a nice long cruise on two lane highways before I gassed up at 6800 feet. Then we lost a couple thousand feet of elevation in the next five miles. My range actually peaked at 606, but by the time the wife got the camera ready, it had dropped again. Still, 600 mile range with a 26 gallon tank is still about 23 mpg.

This was from point A to B highway at Average speed of 45 or so. Never knew that I was driving an economy car...LOL View attachment 102855
you only drove 33 miles . . . . Post again when you drove a couple HUNDRED miles. You know that is not real world realistic, but if it floats your ego, and you think your truck really gets that consistently, good luck!; -)

That's awesome! My very limited experience with this truck so far, best instant MPG readout seems to be about 45-48mph right when the truck shifts to 7th. Very little engine load, not going too fast yet to create huge drag.

If you could find a long, flat, 45 mph backroad with no stops to cruise to work, silly numbers are achievable.

Get a life...I was posting this as a little humor. If it makes you feel good to to be sarcastic then I think it is your ego that needs a little help.

I didn't buy a truck to worry about MPG. I surely don't think the post you created was about humor, appears your ego was inflated a bit as you took that pic! LOL

Quite a bit of difference in the pic you posted on June 9, 2021, eh?

This picture was taken in west texas on the Rio Grande river road from Lajitas to Persido. I was doing speed limit most of the way...55-65. Now before you get to excited we are on an extended road trip. If you look at the bottom left and bottom right you will see total miles and towing miles. Right now the towing miles seem to be in the 12 mpg range and when we are doing day trip 16 to 17 so overall average is about 14.
Just a factoid...however I am happy with the trailing mpg. tak.jpg

My trip from eastern CT to Western New York yielded about 20-21MPG at 70mph. Coming back I was doing 75 and it dropped to about 18-19mpg.

I have a 2019 Ram 1500 Bighorn crew crab 4 by 2. I hauled a payload that weighed 7,100 lbs. My job asked me to pick it up, so I reset my trip meter. It was like 35 miles there and 43 miles back. I was real impressed with the gas mileage. I did use the tow/haul after picking up the payload. After 88 miles I got 20.5 mpg. Right before I decided to take the picture it dropped to 20.4 mpg. Go Ram.!!!!
