ProPride and lifted 3500
Hi all, We just applied for financing on a 2021 Fuel F-287. Assuming the loan gets approved, we should be picking the unit up on the 18th. I have a 2020 Denali 3500 SRW that I put a 4" suspensio...

I noticed the change in my truck from a 31.5 to 32.5 tires. Also 10 lbs heavier! Latter is probably the biggest part. Then I only have a 4.3 V6. Raised it 2". I'm now about a 3.2 effective vs the 3.42 stock. Even at that, It does good. Lost 1-2 mpg tho.....
You being lifted, taller tires. I'm not going to say my experience is equal.

Your experience is right on. I'm over 1500lbs tongue weight for sure on the new giddyup and the only effect it has, is it's probably helping my front end and front tires last longer. Drives the same.
Big tires and lifts are mpg killers for sure. Firs't lifted rig that I've had that wasn't jsut a toy and has a working fuel gauge! lol
37s, 6" lift, 3.42 gears, 100hp+ extra under the bonnet, she drinks diesel like a fcking D8 Cat!
That combo is at least 4 mpg worse than stock, in daily driving. And I'd estimate 2mpg worse, towing.
It doesn't help that it keeps inhaling Kias and Hyundays....which hurts aerodynamics and adds weight! LOL
But on the upside, if I've shaved so you cant see white whiskers and have my flat brimmed hat and Oakley's on, hot chicks stare, until they get close enought o see im old enough to be their dad!
