275 sold! Holy hell. I guess they don't check the feedback.

They sold 6 more in 3 days..... assuming no returns, (which we know isnt true), they would have made a total of $6,901.36. Crazy.

There was a momentary hope in reading the title, then BAMM, shatter my world!

I've been to two dealerships that say because I have the 3.92 axle I should expect no more than the 12MPG combined (though I've never towed anything). Area Manager concurred. Now I have a case open with the attorney general's office up here in VT. I just want them to fix the dang thing.

Pure ********. My 2017 has the 3.92 and I drve 1/2 local stop & go and the rest highway at 75 - 85 heavy on the pedal and I average 16 mpg. I have gotten 21 going 65 mph on level ground for 40 miles.

My muffler bearing gave me more power and mileage!!!! Then I put the summer air in the tires and WOW what a difference.

Summer air in your tires?!?! Holy crap - I never thought about that! I bought my truck in December and all this time I have been driving around with the same old winter air in the tires!

Oh, man, here it is, basically fall now. I guess I will just have to wait until next May to replace my air - unless this guy on eBay can throw in a can of summer air with his race chip. Just wait - I'll leave all y'all in the dust!

But you really need to tweek the manaform on the adjustment arm and then fart a lot to take advantage of the tail wind.

My dad said way back in the day, he was looking at a car and the salesman's pitch was, "This baby has dual points and cross country ashtrays!". I understand the dual points, but have never figured out the cross country ashtrays. Maybe they're big so you can smoke all the way across the country and never fill it up?

When I drive like a 14 yr old and in /about hilly areas, I get about that.

When I drive like the Old Man I actually am, n interstate, 17mpg is average, on most days.
