If you keep your foot out of it, and use cruise control(if you have it) and do a little under the speed limit on HWY...I don't see why you wouldn't be able to get more.

I used to get 23 when I had the 3.9 in mine.

I just averaged a little over 21mpg with my 4.7.

Yea, I get 11-13 city, and 19 highway tops (that was 65MPH with A/C, wasn't able to top that going 65MPH without A/C in the opposite direction, must have been a tail wind). I believe 17-18 going 75.

Every truck is differant! It's like each one has its own soal.
