Hi Jim is it safe to say not towing I can look for 17-18 MPG
I would say it depends on how you drive....17-18 might be pushing it. I drive to and from work, 17 miles or so one way...maybe 11 being interstate (60 mph)...I can ave. 16.4 or so....When I drove to WV, I got, if I remember correctly, and I posted it in here somewhere, 16.5 mpg or so...I ran a few miles per hr over the speed limit..if 60, ran 63 or so, if 70 ran 73...255 miles, of which, probably 55-60 miles of that was secondary roads...all in the mountain driving, ie, NC, TN, Va and WV.....
If we can get 17-18 mpg out of these big dually's, I'd be pickled tink, I mean, tickled pink:).
Which tranny do you have? I have the Aisin, which I believe weighs well over 200# more than the 68RFE...so this truck weighs more than the 10 and 12 and is getting better mpg in town and on the highway than the either one of those.
