Mileage yet again...
We always discuss mileage here and in what configurations our trucks are to produce these figures.
Today I got back from a one week trip. Real mileage (measured at fill-up) for hauling my 2000lb boat over two mountain ranges (120 miles one way) came to 13.7 mpg at 62-64 mph. Just thought I'd send the report
Now back to work

>Did you also have the camper loaded?
No camper loaded for this trip. With the camper on it's always around 10.5 mpg.
Caught about 75 nice rainbow trout on the trip (avg-13-17 inches) and one German Brown. We "catch and release" all but two of them. Too bad the V10 doesn't run on trout

Ooooh wonder what that exhaust would smell like!
Sounds like you had a nice time. IMO, there is nothing better than time with Nature. And a successful fishing trip is extra nice!

No doubt there! Just 'cause you don't catch any fish doesn't make it an UNsuccessful trip IMO.

Lets see..... 13.7miles per us gallon = 15.4 miles per imp gallon.
Empty pulling a boat:-X23 I like the sound of that. How many miles on your truck? I managed a best of 10.4 mpusg so far mt.
But I.ve got 4800 miles on my 2wd dually. Milage is second to fun factor for me. but people always ask.
And who cares if the fish don't bite. A bad day fishin is better than a good days work

Oh now don't go getting all IMPERIAL on me
. There's already enough confusion in my life already. The truck has 15,700 miles (that's NOT kilometers ), to answer 'yer kwestion'eh
.
I'm sure your dually has 4.33's in the rear, and the extra set of wheels will definitely pull down the mileage a tad.
Imperial or not, your fishin' is definitely the best up there

Nope! 3:73's!! I also don't haul in OD either. I cooked an AOD in a 460 powerd truck several years ago:-staun Now I'm a bit gun shy. The dealer said they had never seen a torque converter that colour blue except behind a stinker
. That truck has 4:10s and even in OD 65 or 70 was a stretch.
Good day EH!
