I always get better gas mileage (I have a gasser) when traveling through Canada to/from Alaska that I can't explain. The slower speed helps, but I've always wondered what is different in the gas, no ethanol maybe?
Picked up our new F450. First 200 mile trip at 75mph got 17mpg. Thats empty. I know loaded we will get around 8 to 12 depending on wind and terrain. So nice to be back in the roomy cab of a Ford superduty. The ram was nice, but passenger foot space was limited due to the transmission hump.

Our ram had LS suspension and it was a game changer, from leveling at the camp site, to smoothing out the road either loaded or unloaded. Night and day difference.

liquid springs are the last thing you want. check it out they are having lots of issues, stranded truck needing to be flatbeded home and so on.. put the camper on before you thing you need to upgrade anything and see how it is.

Yes a pickup. Found a platinum without a moon roof. Rides like a truck, needs liquid spring to smooth it out.
