MPG were 1 mile to the gallon less than the 01, which had a 3:42 rear end. The 15 has a 3:73. Was amazed that their is only .3 mpg difference between cruise and non cruise. The one question I have is how often do you have to put in DEF fluid. Had to refill at a little over 800 miles.
This rig kept up traffic and was quick. Wonderful experience. Happy to have it.
By the way the trailer is a 2013 5 slid Montana. Rig is very balanced and the tow haul mode really works.
Going from an 01 to a 2015 is like moving from a cave to a Condo!
Great truck you should check out all the other towing features from the exhaust brake to the hill control. Great truck my BIL and I both bought 2015's and a 40' Jayco Travel Trailer to tow across the USA and more!
Oh Yeah baby! We don't like 5ers and I have towed a 35' TT for 90,000 miles and didn't even know it was there with a 2008 Dmax. Still wolrds of difference with the new one.
