This is a super truck -- See signature -- It has much better power and handling than my last 04 one ton srw Dodge, and it was perfect. The mileage on the 07 6.7 is 4 mpg less than the 04 5.9, I'm getting 15.3 mixed on the 6.7 non towing.
Heading out on a 1000 mile trip over the 4th. Will do the towing mileage check and report.


Trip report after 500 miles:

9.4 mpg with 7,500 miles on the truck. One tread loss on the Famous Kenda Tires on the 5er. I will try to make it back to Texas on the spare and three remaining Kenda's. I've already ordered a set of Michelin XP Rib LT 235/85 R16 LRE tires and they will be installed at Discount tire.

If the mileage improves on the return trip I will report.
