Just a note though:
MT truck at 8120 lbs (full Titan and full 30 gal slip), with EFI tuning:
21.3 mpg with me n the dog in the vehicle @ 124km/hr

13.8 mpg @ 113km/hr Relatively flat roads...we shall see what happens this usmmer going to BC. But at this stage am quite pleased with mileage and performance since I dumped the Banks 6Gun PDA unit.
RPM Sweet spot for towing/and empty: ~1950 Rpm.
265/70R17's hit the pavement.
