2015 Chev 2500HD mpg
For those it interests:::
We took off a couple months ago and hit primarily the Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, N Dakota ... mostly Rockies.
Dropped the 265 stock tires (they sucked) and installed BFG 285 75R 17 KO, and it really rocks. Smooth ride, very comfortable off-road or on highway.
We traveled 7424 miles on 689 gallons - 10.77 MPG with 4000 wet weight camper load ... 2015 Chevy Xcab 4x4 w6.0L and 4.10 RE
We measured it with gallons and miles - not on the gauges. Altho, gauge shows 10.677 average ... so, pretty close. Not too bad for about 2/3 mountain driving. the 6.0L hauled the weight pretty well, a few very steep grades slowed us down but the down-gears pulled it right up and at high RPM climbed everything we tried...
Very happy with truck performance and new tires - haven't measured tread loss/wear - but will soon as I remember. Some say the BFG won't give good mileage, but I don't see much wear ... and no cupping, no odd wear patterns - very flat across the threads.
