I've got a Dodge 3/4 ton, 4wd, with a Cummings H/O diesel, and manual tranny. It got 16.8 hwy milage, running emtey, on a recent trip. It gets about 12.5 city driving. Towing a 7500lb tractor, on a 2500lb trailer, I got 11.2 on the hwy. Not exactly mind boggling milage, but about what I would expect. I have had it with GM products. For years, I wouldn't own anything else. The last one was a '98 GMC 1 ton dually, that was the biggest piece of J.U.N.K. I've ever drove. I have had fair luck with Fords, but nothing to write home about either. The Dodge is new. (2004) I won't try to say it's the best truck I've ever owned (yet), but it seems to be a well built, quality truck. My brother in law has a 1990 Dodge diesel, with over 500,000 miles on it. It's still a good sound truck. It all has to do with luck. Every brand has it's good ones, and it's bad ones. Just luck. When I here someone making wild claims about their truck, and what it'll do, I just remember that old saying. Anything that sounds too good to be true, usually is. JMHO, John

Elliott said while this
