No bickering now!
Anyway, the dakotas are known for bad gas mileage. But they are fun trucks to drive!
The only things you can really do is just granny the throttle and try not to race the ricer next to you. I know its going to be hard but stick with it! LOL
p.s. the body lift shouldnt hurt your MPG too much if you put 33s on if they are a/t's. Mudgrapplers are a diff story!

Tons of things may seem impossible now, but one day may be possible. Anything is possible because things change and new systems, procedures, technologies, and other things come out making things possible. People thought it was impossible that the earth was round, the sun was the center of the galaxy, and we could travel into space. I bet you in the 1800s people said it was impossible to go to the moon. So to say that many things are impossible is stupid. Maybe they aren't possible this week or even in the next 2000 years, but one day will, making them possible after all.
I get so sick of reading you posts, you have to be such a child about everything. You're like the nagging 5 year old on here. Anytime someone says something whether it is opinion or fact, you must be the first to reply saying they're wrong. Get over your self and stop being so ignorant.

My "nagging" is fact.
You CAN NOT create energy. X amount of energy is required to movie Y load. If you increase Y, X has to also increase. If you add aerodynamic drag, and rolling resistance, your gas mileage will go down. Just because it doesn't make sense to you, doesn't make me wrong.

I drive it about 65 highway (so my speedometer says) and about 35-45 in city somewhat constant speed

You probably turn far less RPMs at the city speed, and there is less wind resistance at the lower speed. Those two things probably give you the difference.

You're arguing a point i'm not arguing.
