Any 13' Ram DEF MPG yet?

Just stopped by dealer and checked out a new'13 Ram 2500 4x4 Laramie Diesel and was wondering if anyone got theirs yet? How are the MPG's compared to the last few years? Any other thoughts?

Thanks!

PS - Yes I still want a 5th wheel, No I still can't pull one with my Power Wagon and recent circumstances are going to most likely require me to buy a new camper this week... So decisions, decisions... TT or 5th wheel, but the 5th will require a truck to go with it! :)

It will be interesting seeing the mileage differences between the 3.42, 3.73 and the 4.10 ratios. I believe they all have the front axle lock out feature now with the 4WD models. Have you noticed that feature with yours Jim?

Ram stepped up the GVWRs/payloads for 2013. The Cummins is a heavy engine, though. Custom order!

Agreed but none to be found locally... I see the '12 3500 SRW went from ~2700 lb payload to over 4200 lbs in '13! WOW!
Even the '13 2500's are about what a '12 3500 was regarding payload.

No idea how they are doing, but skip the 2500 diesel for 5er towing and go straight to SWR 3500 for an extra 1200 pounds of payload.
