[QUOTE="Doug Mould, post: 652552, member: 64524"] Now that people are getting some miles on their trucks, how about a quick report on the fuel economy of the new V8? Towing my 27ft, 4000lb travel trailer on I81 through New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia (lots of hills) at an average of 65mph, I could only manage 9.5-10.5 mpg. Last tank - 383 miles, 21.4 gallons to fill = 17.9 mpg combined driving. 20mpg is possible on the highway in this truck, but you must stay at 65mph or less, and avoid all sudden acceleration. Truck is heavy, takes some gas to get it rolling and brakes to get it stopped. I find the truck will coast forever, have to change my driving style to let off the gas 1/4 mile or more before stop signs and stop lights and just coast in. Used to downshifting to slow down with manual transmission. [/QUOTE]
