Total weight.

Just curious as to what kind of fuel mileage everyone is getting around those weights.

 

Not on a daily basis by any means but seasonal I pull that weight and never have dropped down below 14mpg and that was the lowest, probably average 15-16mpg. This country road drivin. I won't do these weights on highway with my truck anymore. Just to old and don't have that kind a trust in it anymore.

 

Thanks Bubba, just trying to get a feel as to what direction I'm heading on my next truck. I just briefly looked at the 2011 Dodge Ram Chassis Cab and I'm very impressed.

 

New trucks are a whole new ball game. Personally I would never trade my old one for one a these new ones in any brand. If I had the money to spend on a new one I'd spend half the amount on a complete rebuild of an older model.

 

I drive a 2005 Peter Built Roll off every day for work with a 330 cummings in it with a modified comptuer and hauling garbage and debree I only get about 5-6 mpg, but on the other hand my 05 F-250 with the 6.0 edge attiude 4" striaght pipes, I just did the work 2 weeks ago and went a total of 212 miles puliing 3 quads plus the trailer (total wieght 12,000lbs or so ) and it only took me 5 gallons of fuel I saw an amazing increse of fuel milage and I was very impressed, I really dont know if it help at all but Im just happy with my results

 

212 miles and 5 gallons of fuel. 42mpg? I gotta get me one of those. I could get about 1400 miles to a tank

 

only thing i can say is must have been the diesel treatment, what grade fuel do you run 40 or 42, they used to have D1-45 over here in NY untill they switched to that ultra low sulfer sh*t

 

You add one of those fuel line magnets and a tornado to it also??

 

did those quads weigh 4000lbs each??

 

Kinda what I was wondering, What kind of quads and trailer were you pulling that weighed 12,000lbs or so?
