i have a 01 ram w/360 auto trans. 108,000 miles and the only mod is a k&n air filter. i pull a 31 foot performance ( will a Ilmor V10, i like my dodge stuff ). i now it's back there don't get me wrong but i can run 75 mph on the highways. i'am sure there's 6000lb plus back there for sure. i can not bitch at all on how well the truck pulls and again it's stock. you have something going on with your ram

My 1997 Dodge Ram (5.9L, 4X4, 3.9 Gears) used to pull a 27 ft travel trailer. (I recently sold the travel trailer) I always had OD locked out. We live in the mountains and some grades were up to 8%. For the steeper grades I was in 2nd gear......... and sometimes in 1st gear. I probably averaged about 9-10 MPG (sometimes slightly more) while pulling this load.
When not pulling I average around 16.5 MPG on the highway, slightly less if I'm traveling at 70 MPH or more. When traveling deserted black top back roads at a slower speed, say around 50 I will get around 19 MPG. By the way driving on a deserted black top is a very relaxing way to spend time.......
