Hold on to it and don't let it out of your sight, if you have a 3500 DRW Mega Cab, even with 3:73 averaging a little better than 16 mpg....don't let go of it. Seems the biggest complaint on these Dodge/Ram trucks since I purchased the 10', was the lousy mpg with the 3500 Duallies compared to what the Chevy's and Ford 3500 Dually's were getting with DEF. I haven't been on any kind of prolonged run with this truck yet and only have around 170 miles on it and getting a little over 15 mpg combined city and highway driving. I had the 2010' for over 2 and a 1/2 years and when towing ran @ 55-62 mph, so not pushing it and when running on Interstate, empty ran at speed limit or 3 mph above, same with the 12', though I only had 3700 miles on it when I got the 13'...never saw 16 mpg and again, I didn't run hard or fast.
Yeah, I wouldn't waste my time on a truck with DEF, not worth it with the mpg your 11 is getting.
Did he mention that he only drives downhill and downwind, someone towes it the other direction. JUst joking, I would be excited about 14.
