Just bought a 2500

[22hemi13]

I have a 3” lift on mine with 35’s and I fit in about half the garages around town.

Same here. I even fit height into my garage. Haven’t can’t remember exact height.....but mine a 2500 with the 5.7 so weight wise I may be a tad taller than comparable 6.4 and Cummins. Easiest way is somebody scared is don’t cut your antenna down lol.

I have had a few 2500's back in my racing days. Had a 1991 F250, 1994 F250, and a 1981 GMC 2500.

My 2018 is about 78" high at the clearance lights.

Filled my truck up tonight. Hand calculated mileage this tank was 13.06 averaging 25 MPH for this tank. Not bad for a big tank like this

max? no idea what you are referring to but this was the day I test drove it and the dealer was getting their parking lot paved. This was at the property of the pavers where they kept the vehicles that day. i know nothing about this place...lol

Sharp looking truck you have there.

oops. didn't see it said max steel. No, it's true blue. same color as my 1500 i just got rid of

Well I track my fuel mileage through fuelly.com and a spreadsheet. My 2013 1500 had lost about 2-3 MPG the last year or so that I had it. I had it tuned up and it didn't help. So I just checked my mileage last summer from May to the end of September I averaged 12.677 MPG in my 2013 1500 Express QC 5.7 with 6 speed and 3.55s. Since I bought my 2500 May 6th I'm averaging 11.870. Not much of a difference.

Gees Louise! I’m averaging 20 MPG right now and that’s city driving! I guess I’m officially and annoying person to drive behind ? I can get it around 25 if I do a lot of highway. But that’s straight highway. #flatroads lol

2017 5.7 1500. 3:21 8 speed tho

I drive my trucks like a grandpa too...lol. Seriously. I TRY to get better mileage by being soft on the pedal. The best I could get in my old 1500 was about 18 on the highway and that was a few years ago. I used to get about 14-15 in town and about 17-18 highway but lost about 10% the last year or two I had it. Traded it in with 67,000 miles on it so not like it was worn out or anything.

Holy crap! 20 MPG? How the hell do you do that? My commute is 8 miles one way with a few lights. My average is just under 15 MPG. I don't drive like a Granny but I'm not Speed Racer either. I have essentially the same truck - a '17 1500 Laramie with 3.21 and 5.7

I never let my truck idle unless I’m in traffic or just driving. I don’t hit brakes hard usually unless I have to. I just take off with the flow of traffic [emoji2369]

On the highway driving with flow of traffic in steady conditions I can get it as low as 10.5-11 L/100K. So according to the tables online that’s like 27-26 MPG. I find the truck does well at 120 KPH which by 401 standards is average and anything slower you get a lot of people swerving around you. The left lane is reserved for those that do 140 KPH lol. I stay outta that lane unless I have yo pass someone. Then it’s perilous as the Audi’s and BMW’s are doing 140 minimum.

CT. You want to get 20 mpg? This is how it's done....

Reset you lie-o-meter on the dash after you get your truck warmed up, and get going on a flat road. A tail wind helps a lot. Drive 50 mph. You too, can then brag about the fabulous gas mileage you get.

I've don't that a couple of times, just to see if my truck will "do 23". It's a neat trick. Not much else.

Real world, I get about 15, like most guys.

I have to do a lot of city driving with Stop and go to get that kind of mileage [emoji2369].

Heres my dash readout on my ‘17 Hemi half ton.






Ive kept track of every single fill up comparing the computer readout to hand calculation. The computer is usually a half to one mpg higher than actual, sometimes right on, but never reads lower than actual lol.

For the last 25k miles the average hand calculation is over 18mpg. Not too bad.

This about exactly what my wife’s 17’ gets mixed driving. 3.92 gears and 5.7.

 

[olyelr]

Right. And my 2500 with the 5.7. 13 if I’m all highway. Off-road and normal driving 10-11 but honestly I just fill them both up and roll on
