Also see a lot of posts bashing dodge. Although I don't care for there gas trucks, I own an 08 cummins and get 17 to 18 mpg towin a 20 ft bass rig. Some of the numbers others are getting with other brands sucks!

Ah ok. I'm not a fan of either.

What?

MEAUX.

My bad. I def miss read what you stated

Is that the 6.7? you have 4wd? standard or auto?

Dodge 2500 5.7l. Driven round trip Cottonport, La to Marshall, Tx. with just 2 ice chests in the bed = 12.3 mpg. Same truck pulling a UNLOADED 14 ft enclosed trailer round trip to Lafayette = 8.7 mpg

My company truck is a laramie 1500 4x4, and wasn't a fan of dodge at all. Still not sure, but I am impressed with the truck. Definitely impressed with the mileage and how it toes my boat compared to Eco boosts

This is probably irrelevant to this conversation, but I drove a '13 Dodge 5.7 hemi 2wd without a towing package for 2 weeks while mine was in the body shop. I averaged 21-22 mpg with the cruise set on 84 on I-49. That truck had more power than any other gas truck I've driven. Just wish it had a towing package so I could have seen what it did with the boat.

08. 6.7 liter. EGR unplugged. Before I unplugged the EGR was gettin round 13 or 14 drivin like a paw paw. 4wd 3500 single wheel base mega cab. I know there will be haters but frankly y would I care? Lol waiting on a 5 inch TB exhaust and EFI live to come in and will only get bettr

Auto BTW

did you beef up your transmission at all or you still running stock?

Negative. That will be down the road as these trans are weak. Any other mods would require a beefed up tranny

What year? That's a lot heavier truck than the 1500,. My '13 will get 22mpg at 74, it's a crew 1500 4x4.

Towing my 24' bay boat is 10-12mpg if the wind is blowing at my back and I'm slightly down hill!

I have 2011 durango with the hemi and i get 14mpg pulling my 2104 cruising 65. Now if I go 70. That's another story 9-10mpg. You won't get good Gas mileage pulling at 70 anyway

I get 23 on the highway going 70-73

Not towing
 

That was their mpg not towing.

2012 crew 4x

Yow!

My 4x4 Eco (4 door) gets overall mpg is 16.3. Towing my 22' bay boat at 65-70 I get 12-13.

I know a guy with a 2 wheel drive Eco (4 door) and he gets just over 20. He does not have a boat so he does not tow enough to get a estimated mpg.

Personally if a truck gets 15-17 on Highway, 13-15 in town and 10-12 towing I am more then satisfied because it is a truck after all..... of course this would be any full size, 4 door, 4x4 set up to tow with a low gear ratio.
