The 10 speed in the 3.5 eco downshifts alot while towing but its barely noticeable compared to the 5.0...and it has alot more power...its very deiselike in that way...but thats where the comparison ends unfortunately...they love fuel.

The 6.7 does...however the 12 valve 5.9 was better on fuel then 24 valve....if you delete the 6.7...it is close to the same on fuel as the 24 valve 5.9. My buds 03 5.9 will get 28 mpg on the highway. It unreal. Pulling a dump trailer full of gravel, 13. I seen it the other day at almost 400000kms. It's a work Truck and works daily. Plows all winter too. No engine work. Lots of front end parts. 2 transmissions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hot sunny day, rural road, 70kmh, mostly 4 cylinder mode. But I did not get to hand calculate to confirm. Evic from what I've seen is 2 mpg off high or low at times. Mine has supercihips, tuned for 87, transmission torque management add on. My speedo is changed and dead nuts on, was reading high stock. Superchips added 2mpg rural/ city. But nothing on highway I bought it to remove the damn tpms and set tire size for winter wheels. Removing TM in the trans makes it so much nicer to drive. Shifts are crisp now. And I can read/ clear codes if need be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were talking L/100km and I am referring to overall average fuel consumption. Sometimes better, sometimes worse than the average. Like I said it includes commuting to and from work and driving around Toronto often in stop and go, weekend commute to the cottage, sometimes pulling either a 2 horse trailer, boat and trailer or sleds and trailer. You want to do the math.... from my spreadsheet Edited October 30, 2017 by 02sled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad you're too stupid and too busy suckin cock to realize the overall number I stated was accurate. By the way... towing the 5000 lb boat to be put in storage a couple of weeks ago was 18.1 L / 100. Don't forget if you can understand... the way you accelerate, the winds, uphill, downhill all play a factor. End of story... your wife just may be a lead foot that tromps it away from a stand still... who knows why her mileage sucks so bad... is it a high blunt nose trailer. All factors.
