On flat ground, I was 19 - 20 MPG.

I've got the 5.7 liter and 4x4.



Mine mirrors this with a 2008 5.7 4x4. The first "trip" I took with mine was exactly 20mpg driving 70 on the interstate. Had to cross a couple of mountains (small compared to out West) but I'd guess the up gas is made up on the down side. This was with stock tires. I'd guess it would be a little less now with more aggressive tires, I haven't checked it lately.

Mine's used for truck stuff. Pulling a 3 horse/stock trailer, pulling a trailer loaded with hay or tractor, pulled a 21' camper for several years, has an atv in the back as much as it doesn't, nothing big enough to require a 3/4 ton but steady work for a 1/2 ton. It came with a lifetime power-train warranty through the dealer as long as I keep up the minimum maintenance schedule...so they seem to have faith in it's longevity. It's been a great truck and I have not complaints.
