The Rams have really improved over the years. We have a 2003 3500 Quad cab 4x4 5.9 that we bought new. It has a GVW of 9900. It is not the HO model (235 HP and 460 pounds of torque) yet the best we get empty on the freeway at about 65 mpg is 20 -21 mpg.
The new trucks have more payload, torque, HP, creature comforts, better MPG,and can tow more then the older Dodges.
Well I never complain about 18 to 20 on the highway or even 14 in town. My last two Fords were both 460's and the BEST they got was 10 mpg, and as low as 5 mpg.
Now I get between 11 and 12 towing, Thanksgiving left for the Coast on a partial tank of fuel (reading about 3/4 to 7/8), just about 200 miles round trip, no need to fuel up with standard tank.
