2014 Ram 1500 Crew cab, 4x4, big horn, 8-speed, 5.7l Hemi.


A buddy bought one last spring that's all you mentioned, but not a Bighorn. He drives a good bit for work, replaced a Silverado 2500 Duramax with the Ram and it regularly does 20-22 MPG out the PA turnpike/I-80 and back, on frequent trips to Ohio.

He often pulled a work trailer with the Duramax, no longer needs to as he got a huge box truck to haul his equipment in. So didn't figure he'd need another diesel for himself and two or three employees.

OTOH, another amigo bought a new 2013 crew cab 4x4 Ram with that same engine and that thing gets terrible mileage. But it's not the newer 8 spd. tranny.

I've talked to several other guys at our gun club that have 2014 Silverado and RAM half ton 4x4s. All say they're getting 20 MPG or better, highway. That's both onboard computer calculated mileage and hand-figured mileage. Some didn't believe what the read out said and did it the old fashioned way, both concurred.


If three or more people think you're a dimwit, chances are at least one of them is right.
