Titans get atrocious gas mileage due to a lot of other reasons. They’re literally at the bottom of the capability list in every measured metric, to the point Ram doesn’t even include them in competitive comparisons when displaying how the ram stacks up against other trucks.

Toolman,
Is that a Hemi or a diesel?

Can’t be a diesel, there’s no DEF gauge.

That's pretty damn good mileage then. My sport model (4x4 sport with 3.55s and 305 55r20 duratracs) can do 19 on the highway, tops.

22 would be all downhill in my truck as well. I've seen 20.5 but that's the cheating EVIC. It's always worse when I do it manually.

I frequently average 24mpg 3.21 4x4 crew cab hemi. But I also drive ~180 miles highway to ~3 miles city each day so not really apples to apples. But that us why I live my 3.21s

Not dawggin’ on your lower gear ratios, but it’s not too terribly hard to see 18’s outta my 3.92 geared Hemi, even with my grossly obese right foot. Not sayin’ you did, but I didn’t buy my truck to get excellent gas mileage. I like the more peppier response from the lower ratio and the ability to pull upwards of 10,000 pounds of gross trailer weight. I’ve only needed once so far to have that ability but I like knowing I have it when I need it. Last I heard, 3.21 trucks only have a max towing of 7,500 to 8,000 pounds.

My truck is 8200 but to you point its snappier down low but on the highway where my truck spends it's time 3.92s are at a disadvantage.

Maybe as far as fuel economy. A lot of times I’ve been running with my MDS off and I can still muster high 17’s to low 18’s. But even when I get on it like to pass someone on a two-lane, I feel that 3.92 being much snappier there, too.

Are you close to ohio? Maybe a test? I think the 3.21 would be the winner from let's say a 50mph roll

I think Oklahoma’s quite a bit from the land that’s round on each end and hi in the middle but I guess the only deciding factor of that would be, where exactly the power-band is and what the engine RPM’s is in both 8th gear and when it downshifts to 6th for the passing gear.
And also I might add that my Pedal Commander set to Sport mode might have a little to do with it also..[emoji3166]

That's it.
Enough is enough.
Why not let those who are seriously Lacking, be happy with what they got?
Yes, the Fun Factor is not there but it still pleases them.
They are Happy and that is enough ... for them.
Deep down, they know they would like to have better Equipment but they don't.
Hence, these Justification posts.
Be Supportive, Praise whatever pitiful Proclamation of Justification they proudly exclaim
and , be thankful you do not suffer same.
I know I am.
So does my Wife of the last 35 years.
Ps
OMG!
I wonder what the Divorce rate is for Guys who only have 3:21's?
Beat it's much higher than 3:92 Owners.
PS. PS
The above is humor.
Though we all know 3:92 are much more fun.
Gas mileage?
Seriously?
Go buy a Toyota Prius.
I bought a T R U C K !!!!!

Had to google Definitely Triggered, never heard it before.
One of the top search results was for a site called Everyday Feminism Dot Com
Closed the page, without clicking on any of the search results because
if one of the top results is Everyday Feminism, I could care less what it means now.
Then again, I have a 3:92 so imagine I trigger lots of things.
Again, probably why my Wife has been with me for over 35 years.
All the Triggering.
.
Okay, Alright, I am done with this thread, You 3;21 guys are just to easy to shame.
I'm Sorry.
Not nearly as Sorry as you all are but , still, I am sorry ... for you.
