what are your real world numbers? i know some of you have one. i'm seriously considering selling the Dingo for one.
can't afford the Cummins :rant:A buddy of mine here with a 4x2 says he averages about 18 so little less for the heavy 4x4. he also said if you're getting the 4x4 get the cummings you'll get better MPG
I'm getting around 15, mostly around town. It'll go as high as 21 on the highway though. Keep in mind that this is a regualr cab 2wd, without the MDS hemi. I'm quite pleased with it, so far. And, dare I say it, it's a much better sport tuck starting point than the R/T is/was.what are your real world numbers? i know some of you have one. i'm seriously considering selling the Dingo for one.
I paid 9500 for mine, with 30K miles on it. Look around, there are bargains to be had out there :mullet:i'm basically looking for sumthin that can haul cargo, extra people (if need be) and tow the R/T that has decent mileage. so i figured, for the going price/styling) ~2005 Ram 1500 should do the trick.
I think you need to do the usual tune up and fluid change soon. Also, check the tires and exhaust, you are having any misfire(s) and sluggish throttle response.Mine's an 06 (MDS started in 06), quad cab 4x4 hemi.
I just got mine, so I haven't got the right 'feel' for the truck yet but:
I did take a road trip with it, over 300 miles, 90% highway...and it got 13mpg. That was with 4 guys and our crap. Right now the overhead computer says 9.9...Ouch!
Yeah that's the plan...it only has about 50,000 miles on her, but I'll put a set of plugs in at the very least.I think you need to do the usual tune up and fluid change soon. Also, check the tires and exhaust, you are having any misfire(s) and sluggish throttle response.
