I got a heck of a deal on a new 2018 Ram 3500 DRW diesel but I was worried because it came with a 68RFE trans and 3.42 gears.

I put my hitch in the truck and took it for a test through the mountains towing the camper and it did great!

You can see my setup on my profile page.
22 empty??? Lie-O-meter number? Or 50-55 MPH? Chris
Yes 22 empty! Well to be exact by trucks computer it is 21.8 on highway and by calculator 21.5 so yes rounded up that is 22mpg!
And at what speed and over how many miles? Like going down hill for 40 miles?
