In the past few years I had an 06 6.0 King Ranch with the normal 6.0 Problems but still loved it, 11 King Ranch 6.7, 13 Platinum 350 6.7, a 15 Platinum 250 6.7 and loved them all equally, I then Knew these 17's were coming but needed a dually this summer and found a Ram 3500 Longhorn with 10K on it with the Aisin as I knew Id be ordering a New super duty, First Ram Truck I ever owned.. The Ram was a beautiful Truck, Fit and finish are beautiful, the steering wheels are thick, the seats are comfy, the stereo is far superior, the jake brake is far better, the diesel sounds like a tractor trailer and It just felt like a beefier truck to me... but she chewed the front tires off, leaked through the roof in 2 spots, the nav screen went out... that truck was in the shop more than my other 6.7s all together and I only had it 6 months! I could of lived with those issues but when I hooked onto my 17000lb RV it was the most gutless pig ever! To the point of pure frustration.... Taking runs down hills etc. It drove me to a point that I wouldn't look again at a Ram again until they get some more power! I have a 16 F150 as a daily driver and the tech thats in the new ford trucks are unmatched. Now waiting for my 450 if it ever gets here!!!

26.4 was my highest non-towing and I babied it, I typically get 24 something highway on my recent trip to Florida. When I tow my 26' boat I am getting in the 17-18 range. The key to great fuel mileage is going easy on the fuel peddle.
