maybe in 2005 they did....now they get 12-14mpg like the rest of them
You know how I know you are wrong? The 2017 I was in yesterday averaged 19.6 on the way back from south Louisiana. Ok, maybe a 2wd with high ratio gears and street tires will on a long straight haul. A 4x4 (which is what I drive) with appropriate sized tires will not My partner has had 3 of them in a row. Before DEF, a 4x4 would do it all day long. His last dodge diesel truck ( A 2014) with 35s was a 12-14 mpg at best truck Yep, I dont believe a CC 4x has gotten 20 for years CC and 4x4. New tires pulled it down to a computer calculated 18.7 for the trip. Might not be 20 but the stock tires were close to 20. Damn sure not 12-14 like you two are claiming

I dont know why anyone would ever consider buying a gas 3/4 ton. Diesel is 40 cents more a gallon. I don't why anybody would worry about what other people do.

Dodge 2500s with the cummins are getting 20ish mpg. Something to consider maybe in 2005 they did....now they get 12-14mpg like the rest of them Have to chime in here I run a 2015 2500 4x4 cummins. I average 20.5 on highway at 75mph, average 18.5 pulling my boat factory, no mods at all, that's checking it manually, not going off of instrument panel

Funny thing is that's exactly what I got last time I towed a boat with a diesel.

I'd rather have less mileage from a Ford then decent mileage in a dodge and waits for the dash and everything else fall apart. Dodge- great motor, rest is junk.

I dont know why anyone would ever consider buying a gas 3/4 ton. Diesel is 40 cents more a gallon. Because some of us use a 3/4 ton for towing or hauling heavy loads, but don't necessarily put enough miles on our trucks to justify the extra upfront cost of a diesel, nor the higher cost of maintenance. Yes, diesels have higher long-term resale/trade value, and get better mileage. But that only helps if you get your money's worth in the use of the truck.
