Good for you! I only have one, and it's only a Ford Ranger XLT.

That's not a real truck.

It's a pickup, and gets better gas mileage than a full-size pickup
or
bigger truck. I like it. Perfect for my needs.


Real trucks, for real men, don't get ''gas mileage''.

my Dodge Ram 2500 got 16 mpg when I took it to Florida this summer. Not as
good as my Shadow-Spirit (45 mpg) but a whole lot more comfy.

nope, but with the 5.9L, that's as good as it gets.

It doesn't seem to make any difference what I tow or don't tow. The mileage
is always about the same.

unleaded, but 97 octane thanks to Chrysler's ****ty engineering.
btw - I typically only haul my trailers with the truck, otherwise I take my
Saturn VUE at 25 mpg.
