2011 Ram 2500
Just checked our "new" 2011 Ram 2500 SLT crew cab 6.7 mileage for the first time. Was surprised at over 20 mpg (with a small amount of city driving in Chrystal Springs Fl along US 19). I hand calculated (fill to max before and after).
I have been reading horror stories about terrible mileage etc and the need to perhaps look for an expensive "delete kit" etc. Our last Dodge was a 2002 extended cab. It routinely delivered an honest 22 to 23 mpg on highway. Only reason we sold it was very difficult for wife to turn around in back seat (she's had knee surgery and cannot sit up front with leg bent for long periods of time. Also, this comes with factory exhaust brake).
This "newer" truck with 38,000 miles surpasses our old beloved '02 CTD by a wide margin. I plan to stay on top of all maintenance for EPA stuff as I have always done for our '02 in general. Kudos to the Ram team!
