The first 500 or so miles I had mine my milage was 9-10 then it jumped up to 13-14 still has not matched my 2015 yet which was 15-16 with my driving habits. Great looking truck. Good Luck.

781 miles with the 3.92 on my Laramie and I'm now up to 18.8 mpg city. It'll get better.

Recorded my trip today to and from work. Got 19.1 mpg for the trip. Not bad. No e-torque either.

2000lbs in the bed...that is some impressive MPG then. Seems like adaptive cruise works well.

How was the ride with that much weight?

For what it's worth, I've never been able to get nearly the fuel economy in the city with my 2017 5.7 Hemi equipped RAM 1500 as what others have reported. I live in Southern CA and in my area has stop lights or stop signs every other street (sometimes every street). This in combination with the morning commute traffic kills my fuel economy. Local and government has made the traffic conditions worse by removing vehicle lanes and putting in bicycle lanes. In the summer with no school I get around 14mpg but during the school year I get about 12.5 - 13.5 mpg. On the hwy I get between 18 and 22mpg. So the main point I'm trying to make is traffic and the amount of traffic control is in your area can greatly influence your fuel economy.
