You guys think the big differentiator is the 3.92 rear end?
I dont think so and I have both of those. I think if you really need the 3.92 or off road package then sure it might be but other then that my opinion is no and I personally own both.

In my SRT I refer to them as smiles per gallon...I'm going to have to adopt that notion with the Ram as well because I enjoy her, despite her thirsty nature.

I am worried to see how mpg fares when I'm towing a CTS-V in an enclosed trailer in a few months.

Gonna need some pics/videos of this CTS-V ASAP! The wagon is still a dream car of mine

I am pleased to say that my Limited with 3.21 gears is getting just under 22 mpg on the freeway and about 15 mpg city. This is much better than the 2014 Longhorn I traded in.


Mine is the Same

Tonneau covers are less fuel efficient because without them air circulates inside the bed like a bubble between cab & tailgate causing less resistance & drag but the tonneau covers don't allow the airflow to circulate causing more drag like when the tailgate is down.

That article is from 2006.

New trucks are so much more efficient.

I an getting about the same as you are, but I just recently installed a set of 33x12.50r20 Toyo RT's on my factory wheels and that dropped down to about 18 HWY and about 15+ city. That's was on my trip from NC to OH averaging about 70-75 mph.

2019 1500 sport QC 4x4 3.92 no e torque
2550 kms - Averaging 12.9 L per 100 km mixed city and highway but mostly highway. A little trailer pulling in there too

11.5L/ 100 on the highway for 750 kms this weekend. I saved 30 dollars in fuel for 750 kms compared to my 2013 6 speed

Well that's a pretty **** poor notion, and I've had 4 SRTs. There's 0 reason to not have fuel efficient engines/aerodynamics in 2018. We've had the same inefficient/underpowered 5.7 HEMI for too damn long.

If you're upset with the notion go EcoDiesel I suppose...I was expecting a couple MPGs better but I'm content...not sure why you are this mad. My Jeep SRT is one of the heaviest so I feel like it's comparable gas mileage for a heavier truck with a 5.7L. You can always get a Ecoboost Ford :rolleyes:

Don’t get me wrong I love my truck I would just like to see a little bit better gas mileage that’s all .I’m pretty sure if I have left those original tires on I’d be getting Just as good as gas mileage as everybody .

I hear you...it's the only reason I have narrow 33s instead of 35s like you.

On my '19 ram bighorn 2wd with 3.21 gears I get around 15+ mpg around town. Also have a Spectre air filter after couple fill ups with it it seemed to get me around 17+ mpg avg.
