LOL!!! :B
I drive a 14 year old 3/4 truck that weighs about 7,800# empty, and can get 20 mph driving 65 on the freeway, 14 mpg city driving.
That and it will pull a 11,000# 5er at speed up 6% grades.
Yes as a 43 year Ford owner, I LOVE my Ram Cummins! Sure beats both of my F250's with 460's.
Know what you mean LOL
Don't get that 20 on hwy (best is 17) but have 4:10 and didn't expect 17.
Can't help but smile when pulling 14K tall (13' 4") 5vr at speed up 6% PLUS grades.
Love that tractor motor...not real impressed with wrapping.
Never have really liked Dodge.......this one is OK but if it wasn't for the 5.9L CTD wouldn't be using it.
If had to replace don't know what I would go with.....don't like the looks of any right now.
Maybe somebody will come out with a style that looks like a truck in the next 10 yrs. Hahahahaha!
As for that Ford 460
My old one got 4-6 mpg on a good day
After some changes.......different set of timing gears, reset timing, tuned headers and better 4 bbl carb got 10 mpg.
Loaded, unloaded, up hill, down hill didn't matter....got 10 :B
