$57k for a base work truck with a couple options is absolutely insane
Yes but with ram you can easily get like 10k off msrp.
i can find a bighorn 2025 1500 for 45,269 in chicago, il. (dupage ram)
I paid $48k out the door in 2018 for a new 2019 Laramie 4WD Crew Cab Hemi with air ride, pano sunroof, ram box, big screen, retracting steps, and the works ☹️
Times have changed
That's before discounts and incentives. And it's not a couple of options. He listed more and some were pretty pricey. You can get a real "work" truck for $45k.
That isn’t a bare bones work truck as we used to know them.
$57k… absolutely wild pricing! Truck companies have lost their minds!!
Agreed but look at all the extras ,toyota even makes them with blowup motors ! 😊
They haven't lost their minds, they're just profiting from all the costumers who are happy to be ripped off.
@@yissibiiytethat’s what’s funny is ram doesn’t make enough money to be doing that LMFAO. Like literally they don’t sell enough to price gouge. Ford can charge the 150k for a platinum f350. 100k for a platinum f150. Guess what tho? People still pay for that and even if they don’t Ford sells in different countries while also selling 1.3 million more cars/trucks in the USA alone. Not glazing just stating the economics.
its not them is the quantitative easing
$63 for Twin Turbo 1500 I drove a brand new one just for fun at dealership what crap it's quicker low speeds but when I floored it at 50 the speedo climbed much slower then my HEMI. Sales guy even admitted it's got no balls on the highway he said he wouldn't buy it. This was just a fun run w a bored sales guy I told him ahead not buying.
It’s crazy to think back in 2016 I bought a brand new Ram 1500 Lonestar with options for 40k and exactly 2 years ago my dad bought a 22 Laramie southwest edition for 57k. Y’all say things are getting for expensive, but holy crap dude.
I got a work truck for $35k, but the year before that my friend got a Limited for $60k! Talk about inflation!
learn about inflation
I think a lot that has to do with the price gouging that they're doing is due to the lockdowns during covid now they're playing catch up
@@Cloud30000bought my 2020 limited w every option but the sunroof in the summer of 2020 for 53k after rebates and discounts that was with taxes and fees
@@davidporter7051and corporate greed with BS gov mandates
Andre proceeds to go directly to the left lane on the highway while crossing a solid white line and then proceeds to camp out as traffic to his right goes by him. 😅
Sadly it's become of norm. Not many drivers understand drive right/pass left. I wish the law was enforced more along with turn signal usage.
Thanks for not looking at $100k truck for a change. Love your videos.
Thank you for watching.
The truck should be 32-35k. We get what we vote for…
@@mr.adventure6507 I'm not sure what side of voting you are on? I think it's CEOs making millions a year that increase the price. Dodge CEO got a 10 million dollar raise in 2023.
@@Rottingboards Well first of all I can find nothing about a Dodge CEO getting a $10 million raise, did you mean Stellantis perhaps?
They don't get paid more for making more expensive trucks, they get paid more by the shareholders for meeting whatever contract stipulations are there or otherwise performing well.
When the government makes vehicles more expensive to make because of supply chain mismanagement, irresponsible spending, inflation etc. the CEOs make more money to deal with it. They'll get some kind of raise whether the stuff gets more expensive or not if they get the company does well enough. They have at least some incentive to control their pricing...but the government? They do nothing but create conditions that make stuff more expensive, so vote differently and we could at least see that part of this cost equation change.
@mr.adventure6507 hell I'd be happy with $42,000-47,000
$57k for a 4x4 crew work trim?! Stellantis is done unless they can cut $10k off their trucks and be profitable.
If you go to the dealer you might be able to get 10k off. Stellantis is basically doing the old trick of advertising a higher price then say your getting a 10k discount instead of just advertising the lower price in the first place.
@UnyonRing rams have always had a major price differnce between invoice and msrp. When I was working for a fleet company ram was giving 15k off incentives on top of us getting invoice pricing. People were still buying ford's over rams 10 to 1.
….transmissions…..thats the problem
That's one expensive Fiat.
Even with $10k off you are still over paying.
My 2017 Ram Hemi 4wd with a 3.92 got literally the same gas mileage.
I still like Ram, but that price is insane.
Exactly. I really don't like that they dropped the Hemi. It's served me well in 2 trucks for the last 12 years. Only issue has been manifold bolts. Can't wait to see what issues these over engineered V6s will have
@@wakepicsin-line six but yea I’m curious too
yup...bunch of cost to put a new engine in them....just to get the same gas milage and performance they could have easily gotten out of the existing engine.
They dont anymore...lol
Yep - i like Ram as well, but cost is prohibitive... I have a 2019 Rebel Sport with 5.7, 3.92's, 8.4 radio, fully loaded (leather, full roof window etc.), but it gets 19mpg highway only. Frankly it looks like that Laramie inside, but i couldn't afford the Laramie now... I'll be keeping my 2019 for a long time, even though dealer wants me to trade up (but i question - WHY?) - to get same thing it'd cost me big time...
A long bed is still 8 feet not 6+
Long bed = the longest bed you can buy. There is no 8' option
That's what I said, I guess that is a long bed now.
Way too much money for that truck.
Andrei "Top off" Smirnov 😂😂😂
I remember when a 6 foot bed was a short bed and 8 feet was a long bed. Does anyone even make a truck anymore with a bed that will hold a 4x8 sheet of plywood? A work truck should hold 4x8 sheet goods.
Yes, it’s called a 3/4 ton…. The 1/2 ton trucks of yesterday were only regular cabs and extended cabs and were available with 8 foot beds. The only crew cabs at the time were on 3/4 and 1 tons. A factory crew cab 1/2 ton with an 8 foot does not exist and has never existed. If you want an 8 foot bed 1/2 ton, get a regular or extended cab.
Yes, but only in extended cab or regular cab.
Of course they do
Crew cab 1/2 ton. No. Super and regular can yes.
He said long bed but it is a full size shortbed instead of the stubby shorts we came to know with crew cab 1/2 tons that makes them fit way more garages.
Recently drove from Wisconsin to Ohio (8 hours a direction) and over the trip averaged 21.88. 2020 Ram 1500 Crew, 3.21 axl, short box 4x4 V8 E-torque. Was carrying 500 lbs of equipment and typically drove speed limit +5 mph and spent 20 mins idling around Chicago in traffic 1 direction.
Poor Andre seems so tired on the second day of the trip. Get some rest, brother!
It’s equipped really well- FOR 60 Thousand Dollars.. and he’s so very dismissive about it- , I get they have to shill for the car companies, But they trying to convince you 60 thousand dollars for basic work truck in “ just normal stuff “ Insane .,
To add, he's complaining about not having more nanny tech in the truck. Obviously based on his complaints, he would be completely dumbfounded and unable to stay in his own traffic lane while driving something like a 2007 Ram. The level of his indolence while driving is remarkable.
Nice to see real gauges on a new vehicle.
Just finished Houston to D.C . And back in my 2025 Ram Rebel. No issues similar results and very comfortable while towing a loaded UHaul
If you can find a Half Ton Crew Cab with an 8-foot bed you better buy it fast. The reality 6.5 foot is as good as it gets.
I paid $56,900 when I ordered my 22 ram 1500 Laramie. The window sticker was $64k. This is crazy that you'd pay more for this than my Laramie. No air suspension, no Laramie level a, no bed group and no navigation....crazy.
Respect to whoever optioned out that truck. Pretty much perfect.
I’ve had a 1500 limited and now a 2500 Cummins limited and the best trucks I ever had. The 1500 rode like a. Caddy and handled like a sports car.
Shrinkflation ? A large bed is 8 feet not 6.5
6'4" is large for a crew cab...they are typically about 5.5 feet
I went to the RAM website looking for a regular cab with a 8 foot bed and that's not even an option.
@@diab01usI heard you can if you’re getting a 3/4 ton or 1 ton
@@fgreen411 No, 6'4" is small for a crew cab. Ford, GM, and Toyota all sell crew cabs with larger beds.
Ya a tundra crew cab with the 8ft bed is insanely long perfect for hualing wood. The 6.4 bed just looks weird. @@tyeetamer
6’4 isn’t a large bed it’s standard (or it should be considered standard)
Thanks for all the work you put in for testing!
It’s the ‘long’ bed for a crew cab, which otherwise comes with a bed only large enough for moving houseplants and isn’t much of a truck at all.
It’s considered large now for a half ton 4 door
8' is a standard pickup bed
@@Bajaheat that’s true. I saw the ford trucks don’t make the 8’ with anything other than regular cab after 2023 year which is a bummer
@@Bajaheat I van get an 8ft bed in a four door f150 in 2024
I get 20+ mpg in my 3.5 ecoboost and it has a 36 gallon tank. So I can go around 700 miles before filling up. That’s fully loaded, bed full of stuff and 4 adults.
I regularly get about 800mi with mine but do not have the heavy load. Just did a 700mi trip on the weekend and the combined average was 24.9mpg (on gauge) running on the ECO setting and 120mi until empty when i got home. Avg speed on the highway was 70 mph. Did not buy a pick up for the fuel economy but I cannot be happier.
23 minutes for a fuel economy video is crazy 💀
Finally a great fuel economy test, unlike the 100 mile loops.
I’ll summarize it for you:
The fuel economy is quite surprising!
You’re welcome.
@@christophernoe5367 well im sure Ram’s abysmal sales numbers have absolutely nothing to do with it !
Not really, it's like taking one shower
Alt + F4 will take care of that.
6.4 feet is now long bed? On a work truck?
It’s not a work truck
With the limousine sized back seat, yep.
That ford is twice the amount of money as the Ram. These prices are ABSOLUTELY INSANE!
Had one…went to the AT4 3.0 Duramax. Couldn’t be happier.
YOU IN THE USA ARE VERY LUCKY! WE'RE PAYING 1.61 A LITER IF GAS IN CANADA. 😢
US gallon is also smaller. Only 3.8 liters. Canadian gallons are 4.6 liters. $1.50 in Ontario
179.9 in bc
Stellantis and it’s MSRP ideas. A GMC 2500 crew cab standard bed Pro work trim with a 6.6 L V8 gas engine is $54k MSRP. Practically same as this 1500 RAM work truck. Ok.
Less hp and tq and mpg I’ll pass
That's not with the same options. Optioned the same way, that GMC price jumps $10k easily.
@@gbaby4rb64 Give me a L8T motor 10 out of 10 times
The difference is that GM and Ford will not negotiate on their sticker. RAM is an almost certain 15~18% off for anyone with a pulse.
@@timcartwright4679 all that money you save up front will at some point come right back out of your wallet …& some ! It takes more than a big shiny touch screen to fool me !
I live about 45 minutes from the 1-80 worlds largest truck stop! Here in Iowa city 💪
Got 2018 Ram 1500 equipped very similar, except ECODiesel. Best travel vehicle ever. I drive regularily a 900 mile trip (one way) and only stop twice. Once for fuel and once to walk. Cruise set at 70-71 and ALWAYS get 31-32 mpg (checked by the pump). It's crazy how nice the ride is on the road for 13+ hours.
I pulled a 5,000 LB trailer from N.C. to Alaska through Canada on the ALCAN with my 2023 Wagoneer with the I6 SO Hurricane and it did great. No issues what so ever. The I6 is a great engine from what I can tell, prior to pulling the trailer, I Shipped it from Hawaii to California, then drove it to N.C. to pick up the trailer. I want them to put the I6 SO Hurricane in the gladiator.
Reliability and maintenance should be factors as well.
Make sure to check the oil.
He did. Without getting out of the truck....
3.0 duramax is the way to go for long hauls.
That's why my 2024 tahow is in the shop at 40k and pretty much needs a new motor, you be the judge
23 Nissan Titan Pro-4x 5.6 V8!! Mine was getting 23 on the hwy!! Now with a few mods I'm getting 28-30 mpg on the hwy!! At least my truck will outlast any truck!!
@@stevenpeterson7234 The titan is a good truck. Unfortunately, it is dead now for any new models. I had a 17 5.6 that pulled 25 MPG on the highway. I just wouldn't look forward to finding parts for it in a few years... Nissan isn't the best at supporting discontinued products... owners of the diesel titan xd can tell you all about that... 20k for a motor and 12-15k for a transmission and prices are only going up.
I used to own a Ram Ecodiesel. Normal highway mileage with a moderately loaded truck was 25mpg. It was great for long haul road trips.
@stevenpeterson7234 your a liar and your truck is a pile of shit. It's not even a real truck
That price is absurd. I just paid $54,000 ($56,000 MSRP) for my 2024 Chevrolet 2500 HD Z71 with the 6.6 gas. And it has rear seat chargers and 110V plug in the front and in the bed. And it has good looking 20” alloys with AT tires, not fugly steel wheels with highway tires. Twice the truck for less. What a joke. No wonder Stellantis is struggling.
Looks like you stopped for fuel in my little part of the world, Newton, Iowa. Love your channel!
3.21’s are good for at least 2-3 mpg with the Hemi so would be nice to see results with the Hurricane
That depends on speed; certainly when doing 80mph, but you won’t see that much of a difference between 65-70mph.
I have a 2019 ram 5.7 quad cab with 3:21 gears and a 33 gallon tank I get just about 700 mi doing 65 mphs
@@Soccerthelegend yup, it is awesome when traveling.
Say this again, but went with my brother to buy a brand new 2005 full size/4x4/extended cab/5.3v8 chevy pickup and it was $25,000 out the door. Sure no screens and didn't have 400hp but still on road driving, just lots of rust.
Kind of looks like the epa is slowly getting their way by driving up the costs of large vehicles with all of the new emissions requirements. Make gas vehicles just as or more expensive than EV vehicles so people will buy EVs. Do you really think that corporations or the government cares about the environment? It's all about the money that can be made to help stimulate the economy by creating new markets so share holders can make more free money. What do you guys think?
Thats why the 3.55 was perfect. Glad they brought it back after getting rid of it for the 5th gen
The highway fuel economy is not far off from what my 2014 1500 5.7 gets. I measured around 21 MPG last time I took a trip out of town going from Columbus, GA to Atlanta, GA and back. Mostly highway driving between I-185 and I-85 and a bit of city driving mixed in. I got roughly the same going to Macon and back on US-80. I honestly don't really see this as a win with these new engines, especially considering that even though the I6 is more powerful once you start to actually use that power the fuel economy is going to drop like a stone when the boost kicks in. I really want to see how the fuel consumption compares to the Hemi in a 2024 while towing on this same trip. If the results end up being the same or the I6 does worse, then that will pretty much kill any justification in my eyes for going with a new 1500 over an older one at the dealerships besides the overall pricing.
It’s all about the emissions. It’s just another iteration of the late 70’s, early 80’s except you get to keep the power but drop the cylinders. Back then tech only allowed them to drop the power to comply.
It's a about emissions. Dodge has paid millions in fines from the EPA for not meeting emissions standards. Why do you think all the manufacturers are going away from V8s? Smaller engines with turbos have the same or more power, less emissions.
No way you are getting that unless you are staying right at 55. He's doing 70 plus.
@@DusdaddyI got between 18.5 and 21.9 out of my hemi at 75 mph. 25 mpg using non ethanol gas.
@@Dusdaddy I got 24 mpg from NY to TX in my '17 ram with a Hemi running 5 over a couple years ago. I get between 21 and 22 just going back and forth on my 60 mile loop to work.
I lived in the Kalamazoo area for years, and that Marathon station you were at in the beginning of the video was one of my go to stops in the mornings. I could tell by the shadows that you missed rush hour. Your lucky, because that section of road between there and the highway is the worst during rush hour.
I love lower trim pickups. The price's are beyond crazy!!
I think it looks great in white.
I wonder how it would look as a single cab I think it would be pretty cool.
I'm pleasantly surprised even the tradesman has adaptive cruise control. I can't go back to basic cruise control.
Just gonna keep the 2017 Ram 1500 Lonestar I bought at the end of 2023 for 18k until it literally breaks in half, though I'm certainly hopeful that the new motor in these trucks works out well for those buying them.
Still driving my 2013 Tradesman. 352,000 miles on 3.6 Pentastar. Towing a 5,500 lb camper in the WV mountains and 3.55 is dropping to 4th on my 8 speed. Does fine as long as you don't have 3 mi upgrades.
I have a 2020 Laramie with the 3.92 rear axles and the hemi, and my milage isn't that much lower than this - I did New England to North Carolina and averaged 22mpg. I agree that the lane keep assist is close to useless (my sensors had to be replaced once already), but the adaptive cruise is essential for road trips, and it's a feature I loved so much, it's on my list as a must have feature on any future vehicle.
I will admit they do it because it’s cheap but the gauge cluster is nice looking. At least the design works there.
You can adjust the strength of the lane assist! In the settings and under the safety/driving assistance tab
Truck: dude we're out of gas
Andre: I'm not comfortable driving any further
Truck: no shit, captain obvious
That's pretty good mileage, I can only get 360 miles with my 5.7 Hemi on a 100 liter tank.
17:18, in general, it is not a good idea to drive the fuel tank dry - the fuel actually is the coolant for all components of the - here high pressure - fuel system. The less fuel, the hotter everything gets. Think of filling up at 20% like being as important as regular oil changes.
Gas is 50 cents per gallon cheaper in Missouri, that’s crazy.
Why do you always test vehicles that aren't optioned the way you want? Why didn't you get the efficiency gears? Same thing in your comparison tests.
TFL post drag races between the 5.7 vs 3.0
Did you look into the vehicle settings? The lane guidance on my 2019 has settings to change how aggressively it functions.

On the fuel economy, don’t forget the head winds you get on west bound I-80 through Iowa/Nebraska/ Colorado
I had a truck years ago dis the same . I think it the shape of the tank
You can usually get around 10 to 15K off with RAM dealers. So in reality, not too bad for the pricing of this work truck.
I remember when tradesman trucks were knocking hard on the door to break under $20k.
18:24 Separate buttons for adaptive cruise control is good actually!!!
My 2021 Ram 1500 Big Horn Crew Cab with Hemi and 3.92 axle out the door was $47k new.
We went on a trip from southern California to Lake Tahoe via the desert with the ac on and going and maintaining 75-80mph at times. No towing. Round trip from my front door and back was 26.0 mpg. That includes all driving around up and around there down to Carson and some other areas. I can get 15-16 city.
Good review. Gets 4 mpg more than my 4.3 V6 S10 Chevy 2wd.
I have had a ‘21 Ram Laramie for 2 years. I am quite happy with it but I have 3 things that would make it better: 1.) a larger fuel tank, I have the standard 21 gallonish tank; 2.) better rear seat ventilation with controls; 3.) heavier springs on the tonneau cover latches to reduce lifting at highway speeds.
Did you option the ventilated rear seats? If not, you might be able to add them in to get cooler seats. If you did, look up adding an inline variable speed booster to increase and control the speed of the built-in fan.
For the tonneau, I find the bakflip aluminum covers are very solid and will not move at any speed.
Anybody else want to see a new Ram Dakota
No, but I'll take a Dodge Dakota. 😆
The standard hurricane engine is potent motortrend tested this same tradesman truck and got 0-60 in 4.7sec
420hp? 469 torque? NICE engine
The lane keep check the sensitivity you can adjust in the settings. Also love that Jeep/Ram has both cruise options because sometimes I don’t want to be slowed down. My Nissan only has adaptive and can be too sensitive at times in even in light traffic so hardly use it
I like that they have options for both style cruise, because i personally would never use adaptive cruise.
Considering that I bought a fully loaded 2019 Laramie w/5.7 for $43k cash in august 2018, this is absolutely insane. So happy I bought my RAM when I did. Just hit my 6-year anniversary with it yesterday.
53k for a base 1500 tradesman 2024 with 5.7 10 miles
53k for Sierra Denali 6.6 gas 5 miles
Both cash prices out the door for me…
CDJR is on that 80s type crack
WOW! My 2018 Tundra with 5.7L 4x4 and with 36gal tank gets 19.7 on I-40 in NC going 65. Interesting!
Our 2020 Tundra TRD off road gets 19 mpg. It gets better mileage than our 2024 4runner TRD Pro.
This is definitely a lot of truck for the money and with the new engine this will be a phenomenal work truck. And since Ram did it you know it will be right.. Ram builds trucks
I bought my ranger in 2020 with a bunch of options, and it stickers for $38k. I paid $36k. I thought that was a lot, but now the same truck would be well into the 40s.
Crazy to hear the lane keep assist in that Ram won't correct you. It works as it should in my Durango and corrects me if I'm going over the lines without my signal on.
$57k... ouch! But 21mpg isn't bad. I'm Interested in how long this new engine will last.
Not a Ram fan BUT you had me liking it till it came with manual folding mirrors. I don’t need the glitz and glamour. That tradesman is perfect except the mirror folding
There’s no oil dipstick! Big no !
You can blame idiots who check the dipstick with the engine running, then overfill the engine oil causing damage and bring it in for warrantee service to fix it.
I suspect that all manufacturers will get rid of it over the next 10 years to avoid dealing with these warrantee claims.
So I noticed on your window sticker your Ram has LED head lamps, that's why they project so well. I'm running a 2023 2500 6.4 with LED's and just love them.
funny to see you guys stop at the worlds largest truck stop where i fuel up all the time to haul RVs lol
Is 87 octane what the MFG recommends with the turbos?
Dang 21mpg. My 2.7l is getting 24.8mpg currently (yeah less power but I’m not towing 89% a the time)
Agreed. That mpg sucks.
I averaged 21.7 MPG in my 2017 Ram 1500 5.7 Sport, crew cab, short bed with 3.92's and a lot more options doing a 1400 mile round trip. I don't think these new trucks are designed for efficiency as much as they are for towing/hauling experience. That extra torque coming on earlier will definitely help. I also made the same trip in my 2020 2500 6.4 Longhorn and got 19.4 MPG.
We only have 95 octane and 100 octane here in Denmark. It's extremely expensive. Our 95 octane costs the equivalent of 2.10 USD per liter, and 100 octane is 2.40 USD per liter.
That corresponds to approximately 7.90 USD per gallon for 95 octane and 9.60 USD per gallon for 100 octane.
Your fuel is not higher octane, North America just uses a different octane rating standard (RON vs AKI) than what you're referring to: your 95 octane is called 91 in the US, 98 is 93 and 100 is 94
@@drasoio Okay, I wasn't aware of that, I thought it was the same everywhere in the world. Fortunately, you never get too old to learn something new. 🙂
@@drasoioit is slightly higher as no US pump sells higher than 93 outside of racing fuel and typically has 85 to 89 as standard while Europe standard is 91 equivalent and goes up to 94 equivalent, but not dramatically higher. I think it may be related to ethanol use in the US fuel
Love the long-range gas tanks!
It boggles my mind that people are continuously stunned by the fact that a 400 hp turbo 6 cylinder engine doesn't get better mileage than a 400hp V8. It takes fuel to make hp. Yes technology can help get better mileage to a certain degree but one 400hp engine is never going to have significantly better mpg than another 400hp engine in the same vehicle under the same driving conditions. The physics just make no sense. The entire purpose of a turbo is to force air into the engine and gasoline engines require a pretty narrow range of air/oxygen ratio to run so if you put more air in you also have to put more fuel in. If you don't the engine will either destroy itself or it just won't run. Reality is if you are utilizing the power available from a turbo engine you won't likely get any better mpg than an equivalent hp naturally aspirated engine and often it will be worse mpg. I've had multiple trucks with 3.5 ecoboost engines, Hemi's, coyote's and 5.3L and 6.2L LS's and recently had a 2025 Hurricane Ram 1500 loaned to me for a for a week by a friend of mine who is the GM of my local Dodge dealer. Newsflash they all get roughly the same mileage and if you don't baby the turbo's they actually get worse mileage than the V8's. IMO if you don't tow at high altitude and/or you keep your trucks beyond the warranty period buy a V8. If you trade your trucks before the warranty expires and don't mind the anemic sound of the turbo motors buy whatever you like because they all work great and they all use around the same amount of fuel.
It's because everyone has been brainwashed that less displacement = better mpg
I’ll keep my 2014 Ram Outdoorsman CC, 6’4 bed, 5.7 Hemi Only has 73,000 miles on it and pulls nicely with the 3.92 rear end. Paid $25,500 2 years ago.
I don't imagine many companies or whatever will be buying the work trucks with the inline 6. Probably will just do Pentastar.
Mpg changes with warmer temps! I always get about 2-2.5 mpgs more in the summer
I bought my bronco and warranty from Granger, they were awesome to deal with, picked me up at the airport and i was on my way back to colorado within an hour..
For reliability and high mileage I trust supercharging
Does anyone else remember when a 6 foot bed was considered a shortbed?
Crazy that you could probably get a 90s pickup with an 8' bed cheaper than a 10% down payment on a new truck that's too nice and expensive to tear up as a work truck. That "work truck" there is a luxury expense. Can't imagine ever needing the real lifestyle trucks they have 😵💫
That truck comes with a built in air fryer? America! lol
Cool I live 9 mi north of the i-80 truck stop largest truck stop in the United States
I have had 3.92 axles in my last 3 trucks. With overdrive transmissions it doesn't affect the fuel economy. I am a retired Chrysler product tech. with 45 years in the business. I had customers that had 3.23 axles in their trucks that got worse mileage.
So, HWY mileage isn't much difference than any other full size.
I get almost 30 mpg in my Powerboost
Less emissions. Dodge is paying huge fines for not meeting emissions standards.
@@Cloud30000u going downhill the whole time?
@@Cloud30000that's fantastic. Best I've ever gotten on, a road trip, is 26, but I do drive with my foot in it. Mine has the towing pkg w/3.73 axle. Do you know yours?
I just bought a 24’ Silverado 3.0 duramax. Doing that trip I would get over 30 mpg.
