also I hate to break it to you but the truck is going to be a gas hog most likely. Unloaded open highway easy running 65. You’ll be lucky to get 12ish If no aftermarket tires and wheels.
Heard people talk about getting up to 14 but I found it is the exception

6.2 is not a motor you buy if high fuel mileage is a goal. Good pulling motor but won't pass many gas stations.
