Off topic, but it is strange but true that people tend to exaggerate their MPG, especially if its a vehicle that is supposed to get good gas mileage. It’s not just VW that’s telling falsehoods. LOL

Without question! You hear lots of stories about the 3/4 - 1 Ton diesels getting 22+ mpg.....

Deplorable
Diesel guys are the worst. I love hearing how some dudes lifted cummins 1 ton running 37" swampers gets 22mpg.

I legitimately got 21.3 with my F350 once... driving from Alabama back to Nashville.
Once.
Just that one time.
That was the only time.
average about 15.....

Pretty good for such a big truck.
Getting 16.5 right now, with winter studs and roughly 700 lbs of payload. Kinda crappy for how small the truck is.
Will fetch 18-19 when I toss back on the commuter treads, and yank out the sand bags.
Told someone that, and they said I should go buy a new truck that gets better mileage...and I said, do you know how much fuel $35'000 buys!?

Fair enough. What's wrong with Amy Schumer? (aside from not being funny whatsoever)
You couldn't give me a RAM. In any trim.

Dealer down the road from us, always has a few AEV's on the lot, catch myself driving by to have a look-see.
As much as I say giant cod piece grills are ridiculous, wouldn't mind a CC AEV in New Holland Blue...dunno, something so right about this truck.

To each their own. I've driven a handful and I've never been impressed. Must also be all the Dodge Douches will 22" Fuel wheels, low pro MT's, and Metal Mulisha stickers up here (like every third truck).
Build quality wise overall I think they're the worst of the bunch.

Here that isn't specific to just Ram's. That can go for any diesel 3/4 - 1 ton truck. Actually... half tons too..... You forgot to mention the nose high / bull dog stance. Oh and they all have their towing mirrors fully extended even though they aren't towing anything.....

Good friend of mine in AZ is a Ram guy, he leaves them stock. Ride pretty nice to me....though he has been through 3 of them (and 1 Chevy, a Jeep XJ and a OBS F350) since I have known him over the last 10 years, and I am still driving the same Toyota. But, he is one of those guys that buys a new truck every time the wind changes... he was saying he has great luck with the Rams, and I said to him...you better well should since you only keep them for 2 years! had my Tacoma for 16.2 years now...
Oh yeah, almost forgot. He also augments the new trucks with a $1000 beater commuter car to keep the miles down on the trucks.
I don't get it, but whatever...
Think he just likes spending money and tinkering with the beaters.
