I have a very heavy foot henc the not great mpg towing with the f150s both around 9 or 10 mpg but again I am rolling 75+ My 07 Tundra did that.

It hasn't been a stellar vehicle, it's been in the shop quite a bit. The most reliable trucks we've had were all 6.0 gmc's. Things run forever. I am looking hard at the Nissan nv 2500 with dealer installed 4x4 . from what I understand it has the ram v8 in it . not 100% on that getting mixed reply on that . Will look deeper before stroking that to big check your promaster is the big one mine is the small one . a fiat Diablo in other counterys Edited September 15, 2019 by Ez ryder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Don't get me wrong. My Ford is dissolving in the driveway as we speak.

smokin george Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 We have a 2012 Ram with just over 200K kms on it. Towing the dblewide enclosed shitty gas mileage. Towing the V- nosed enclosed mileage wasn't too bad. Towing the open trailer is like it's not even there. We usually avg 20 m/gal and running along at 120 km/h going on a long trip we were around 24 m/gal. The lowest I've seen on the readout was 9.2/100 kms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irv Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 1 hour ago, Anler said: Mine usually floats between 15-18. Unless I'm towing up north for 7 hours then it can go down to 12. But Thursday night I drove home from a banquet and put the cruise control on at 5 over the speed limit cuz I had a few drinks. 60 miles back and mpgs were at 19.9. I think the new tires I put on this summer made a big diff on the mpgs. I am going to need new tires next year, and like trying to pick out a new sled, I am undecided which tire to go with? Most likely and mostly to do with cost, I am going to go with Copper something or other? I've used Cooper winter tires now for quite a few years and they are wearing/working excellent, imo. My father purchased some Copper Continental's or something like that and he loves them. Says they are one of the best riding tires he has ever had, and he is 80 yrs old. Because I already have dedicated snows, I want more of a hwy tire than an all season but I will likely have a tough time finding those as they will be a 20" truck tire, obviously.

Doos Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 (edited) I’ve really enjoyed my 18 Ram apart from it’s 5 recalls and inability to tow. Looking forward to getting back into a real truck. Edited September 15, 2019 by Doos 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had bf at's before these and they wore poorly. I'm finding a good all season is better for most everything. I have some kumhos on it now and they have performed pretty well.
