Me neither. I also enjoy the power of the V8 when I pull away from a stop...that just kills my mileage right there.

That'll do it too.

I had over 1000 pounds of generator cable in the back of mine in Friday...besides the fact that it was squatting lower than I've ever seen it, the mpgs sucked pretty good too. Only went 15 miles, though, before I traded them on 500 pounds of smaller cable. Got about 13 mpg for that little trip.

What do you pull?

Mine squats a little with the trailer on, especially if it's loaded really heavy and/or I don't use the equalizer bars. I've had 5500 lbs. or so in the trailer already and it squatted a bit. Friday's load was just in the bed, though.

Hey Frenchy Bikini, don't forget the Halogen fluids. Those run dry quite a bit from what I've been told. Make sure you also check the grease on the muffler bearings.
