What is Wally World?
If we go in the city, we can always take my wife's car

I thought once you go BigHorn youn loose the option for the V6?
At least according to the Ram cataloge?

I currently drive an 2010 Avalanche with 4WD and really like the truck.
But I am not too happy about my interest rate (3.9%), so my wife said to consider a new truck.
Looking at the options (RAM, F-150 and Silverado) the RAM looks very nice.
BUT I don't want a MAP worse than mine.
On paper the Avalanche (15/21) beats the RAM (V8-6speed) (14/19).
In real life (33k miles) I run at 16mpg.
Now I wonder what is a true MPG for a RAM with:
V8
8-Speed
4-WD
Bed-cover
Air -Suspension

Any thoughts?

Glad you came by.
But I've got to point out you came to the high priests of RAM-age to ask about whether or not to buy a RAM. We wouldn't be here if we didn't think this was a no-brainer on value, performance or style.
I drove a grunch of different trucks, but even a used commercial fleet '10 RAM 1500 Express with 36K miles drove better than anything on a Gubm'nt Motors lot. Ford has some nice engines and interiors in their trucks, but the RAM's ride is soooo much nicer and the box on the F-150 looks like something my cub scout would carve for the pinewood derby--or maybe the block of wood he'd start with.
