Nissan Titan - Diesel Goodness

Rick you picked the wrong brand for your mileage comparison. :B I can pull down 20 MPG on the hiway if empty. But then again my truck doesn't have hips like yours does. :B

I was talking about the 2011 like in the article.

At the end of our two separate drive loops (one done with a trailer and one without), all three one-ton turbo-diesels were close to one another when driven empty, with the Ram 3500 finishing just ahead of its two competitors with a calculated 16.31 mpg. The three were separated by less than 2 percent. However, with trailer in tow, the GMC Sierra 3500 did a much better job than the Ford F-350 or the Ram with a best fuel economy calculation of 7.76 mpg, which was more than 10 percent better than the Ford and 7 percent better than the Ram HD.

BTW I would have a Goat in my garage right now if it would have had a 6 speed tranny. With my LBZ 3.73 gears and a 6 speed it really helps with the mileage situation.

The Ford wasn't even in the running because I use my truck for work and needed a dependable diesel truck in 2006. :W

I lucked out with my "gold standard LBZ" truck! :B
