I can't imagine what I'd have to tow to get 8mpg with the new diesel. Sounds like the mileage a POS Dodge would get while billowing black clouds of smoke and sounding like a whoopy cushion.

Edit: You may want to have your dealer verify you have the latest flashes that increase horsepower and smooth the 4-5 tranny shift as well as changing shift points on the others. My mileage increased after the TCM update.
Agreed, Micah told me he is getting 16-17 pulling his Triton from Houston to Lake Charles every weekend in a new 2011 6.7.

8 would be low even for a 6.4 which was horrible on fuel.
