Looking foward to a video. I always enjoy watching them. I used to get 18.5 around town with my Cummins Rams and 14~ with my gassers around town. Folks don't believe that either. Four 6% grades in an entire trip isn't quite what i had pictured. Still seems a bit easy on fuel for that much weight with any truck.
I believe you on your numbers hannibal but it is a pretty big stretch getting the mileage he is getting in those climbs. I will have to see some other kind of proof also. There's a difference between 6% for a few hundred yards and 6% for a few miles x4.
One is 9 miles and one is 6 miles the others are considerably shorter. The cooling mist system helps & like I said after topping the rim there's about 60/70 miles of rolling hills that do not require more than about 10 psi boost or less.
Hannibal, those numbers are consistant with the Rams around here. Driving style and your right foot will make a world of difference. Ask roller183. He has a 2012 Ram 3500 dually and a 40' toyhauler, 3 slides and I think he told me 17K loaded and seems he told me he's getting 10+. Don't quote me but that is what I remember. He lives nearby and we'll probably be camping together Labor Day.
