Nothing like a 6cyl diesel for inherent stability and inherent efficiency.
My 7700# Dodge 4X4 PU with 6cyl Cummins (2006) gets 18-20mpg unloaded and is one VERY fast truck. With a 2600 pound camper and gear (Pop-Up camper)I get 12-16. I cruise at 1800RPM at 65mph. Truck has just under 200K and only service has been a waterpump, oil, filters. I do have a "Juice with Attitude" tuner installed for over 400HP and over 750fpt
I frequently pull a 10,000#, 30' bumper tow trailer and performance and mileage doesn't change. The truck has never down shifted pulling hills in PA / WV and out west in Montana / Wyoming. It just pulls and maintains 65mph no mater the road conditions.
This is an amazing engine, I'm not sure why it isn't used in more MHs.
