But they are actually full size 1/2 ton trucks aren't they ? They do have more hp and torque but it's a trade off. And cost more $
One of my business partners down in southern Ontario has a Dodge crewcab and is more then happy with the MPG. With 5,000 lb. utility trailer out back he is still getting in the low 20s and over 30MPG on the highway empty. He couldn't be happier.
Traded in the identical truck with the Hemi. Gave up tracking the mileage but was filling the gasser up 2 or 3 times a week. Now he fills up the tank on Fridays and forgets it for the rest of the week.
Granted he shelled out over 50K for the truck but he is still happy.
I am very impressed with the engine. Too bad its pulling a Dodge
