Why do people drive big trucks and worry about gas mileage? You got to pay to play. Drive a honda on the weekdays and cruise the mall in your 6" lifted Super Dukies on 35's if your worried about fuel mileage. 10 years of building trucks for 4 Wheel Parts and the only trucks that would get decent "truck MPG" are cummins, period. 5.9 liter 24 valve not the 6.7 boat anchor. My twin tubo truck will do 24mpg on the hwy and 18-19 around town but I trash the crap out of the truck. My 8,000lb Mustang eating Mega-Cab.

Well ain't you just hot stuff?? This is a Ford section for a reason. I will have to agree with you that big trucks are not for MPG. I guess there is not much room for everyone's ego in the Dodge section. Huh

Really?! Because my old 12v 5spd would consistently get 12-14mpg driving it easier than I drive my lifted/tires f250 where I get 18mpg 50/50 city/highway driving... and my buddies 24v single cab short box on 35's w/ a 6spd gets 16mpg....
