I will add that I drive super easy on the throttle. I will try a tank with some spirited driving next.

My only complaint on towing with this truck is the anemic tiny fuel tank they stuck on it! For the cost of these trucks, they really could have spared a few dollars of profit for a bigger tank.

That is a matter of payload and space... my longbed has a 37.5 gal tank... which by the way is far bigger than my bladder... even towing

mileage

I get about 12 litres per 100 kms, mainly highway driving mixed with some city, and not towing. That is about 20 miles per gallon in U.S. gallons. That is over about 10,000 miles of varied driving.

So that mileage is over a long time. I am quite happy with the mileage compared to my former gasser HD Chev.

My tank is too small as well. I have a long bed regular cab so it comes with a very small tank. I can only get 300 miles to a tank towing.

That's why I replaced mine with a 65 gal. Titan tank! It's so nice being able to drive until YOU'RE ready instead of the truck!!
