Default My new wheels!
After 93K miles in two years, the old Duramax was not the truck for me anymore. I was tired of the high price diesel, tired of the ever threatening high dollar repairs, and the big truck ride - I got a new set of wheels!

Since my pulling days are few a far between, I scaled back to the 1/2 ton market and by far, the best deal out there was the Dodge Big Horn 4x4. Incredible ride, especially compared to the 2500 HD, and runs like a spotted a%$ ape with the big HEMI! Will see how it works out for me!

Man that's crappy. The worst I have ever gotten is 13-13.5 pulling a trailer with 3 4wheelers in it and 1 behind my truck! I have a 1/2 ton Silverado Z-71

All dodge trucks get about the same mileage, 4.7, 5.9, or 5.7. Expect about 9 pulling and 13 averaged otherwise.

Nice truck Brian.
