Ram 3500 4.10's expected MPG
So we're already thinking of trading our new toyhauler and since I'm on the upper limits of my 2500 already I'm truck shopping again. Towing around 70 mph I usually get around a 9 mpg average wit...

Well we brought it home yesterday and I could really tell a big difference just on the short ride home. MUCH more pull from a dead stop. I can't wait to hook up the TH this weekend.
Coming home I couldn't help but feel like it needed to shift up, that'll take some getting use to. I'd guess about 500 rpm at 60 mph difference. I'd say empty mileage could take as much as a 5 mpg hit, but that's OK.
Something else too, coming from my 2500 to this I swear there's hardly any noticeable difference in the ride quality either, and I noticed ALL 6 tires were over 80 psi coming home.
Pics or it's just another Fantasy!!!
Run your front tires at 80 ALL the time, run the rears at 35 solo. Towing run at 65 rear but you could go lower depending on your rear axle weight.
Take my word on this, get your front end alignment set to 1/64. Reason is the factory setting is 1/4 and this WILL cause outside front tire stepping. Leave the rear tires where they are, DON'T rotate. Front tires leaving the rotation the same move side to side. This requires breaking down the tires from wheels. Do this every 15K and your tires will last as long as they possibly can.
My advice is put on a set of Michelin Defenders and sell the NEXEN's. I did so at 250 miles and sold the take offs for $650.
So fill in your signature, truck details.
