Yep I have the 26 gallon tank too! But the one good thing about the RAM 6.4L is it has that ECO tech stuff where it turns off half the motor when just cruising. So just driving the truck empty I get like 18mpg.

But yeah pulling the camper I'm at like 9-10mpg and stopping for fuel several times on a long trip since small'ish tank.

ECO tech stuff

ECO mode should be called the downhill or take your foot off the accelerator mode. It seems more noticeable in really cold weather.

Even though I would love to have a van, I just can't pull the trigger on getting rid of my "not a truck" Ridgeline!

My wife's new three row Subaru is rated at 27/21 mpg and has a 5000 lbs towing capacity. Have to see what that translates to in the real world.

I run a Toyota Rav 4 with a 3 rail and get about 24MPG but mine is the super pimp (lol) Adventure package so it is approved for 3,000 lbs and tows my 5x10 enclosed just fine but goes down to 13 MPG. I find that I really like it and I do not miss my truck. My wife wouldn't approve a Van. lol

"not a truck" Ridgeline

Because it has a trunk? Most practical vehicle out there...

Cheap gas was really nice these last few years.

No kidding. My buddies mega cab 6.4 gets about 7 mpg pulling a 20 foot trailer with 4 Harleys in it. And worse yet, it only has like a 26 gallon tank so your stopping for fuel all the time.


At least mine gets decent mileage. But that 33 gallon tank will bite filling it up.

The pump stopped automatically at $100 yesterday on my way back from Cinci.

Trucks are so expensive.



I spend enough on moto - I don't need to sink even more into a truck.

Yeah, some stations stop at $100. Used to drive me crazy when prices are high that I could not get a complete fill up and would have to restart the pump. One station always said it was my card stopping at $100. It's not the card, its the limits at the station.

How we got to the races back in '74. A CJ5 to pull a three rail trailer. Team Yamaha sticker on the front bumper of course.

Those are some pretty fancy fender flares you've got there.

Rubber cove base, the hot setup in 1974!

This would be a killer format - payback for the vet classes. How can we tell someone we want this?

CRA does have the "Scram-X" series.

Read that they had some major scoring discrepancies for the first harescramble of the year last week. Some people not very happy.
