Somewhere around 17-18.5 if you drive it right, sometimes they do better 20-21 max but I wouldnt count on that. It depends alot on how much in town driving you do too.

The gears make a little differance, but my 4.10 geared truck will get 18.5 mixed highway/town driving.

Id say between 15 to 17 in town driving conservatively and 17 to 20-21 on the highway. I get 16 in town with my 220's and my tuner if i drive nice. First tank with them was like 10 from hot rodding it!!!!. Sounds like a nice truck though

I have gotten 25MPG with the truck in my signature. It was 5 hours of steady 60MPH driving, no stops.
