I'm in the passenger seat of a '14 4wd crew dually, flying across New Mexico. Truck has 3.73 and is the 68rfe. Towing a 24' goose with a 40hp tractor (I guess 8k load). Running 75, we have been at 9-10.5mpg. I've covered over 2k in the last week. Running about 50mph brought it up to 12mpg (slick roads and single digit temps).
Personally, I'm not too impressed. Wish we would have brought my '05, better fuel economy. I bet my 05 would get 12-13mpg. And this truck has taken 3 2.5g jugs of def on this trip so far, and might have room for a 4th during our 500 remaining miles.
Goes like mad up the hills though; we haven't backed out of the throttle the whole trip.
This truck normally pulls a horse trailer that is around 16k, and gets about 9 at 60-65, and we are a little more focused on throttle position (fuel mileage).
Turns 2k at about 75mph
Sorry but speed is a killer for mileage.
Drop to 62 and see what happens.
