Why are you buying a truck if you are concerned about MPG? If you still want a truck then at least get the Hemi so you can have some fun while complaining about the MPG with a truck.

I went to go see the truck was very impressed. The interior is clean no grime or anything nasty anywhere. Garage kept, engine all clean no dirt or signs of bad age. Truck runs good and smooth its very loud rumbles good just while cruising. It was definitely the most powerful vehicle I have ever driven. I talked it down to $8700

That price isnt too bad. He was asking too much in the beginning. For a reg cab with that many miles, I would say around 7,500 or 8 wouldnt be too bad

V6 isn't really fuel efficient, it's just cheap. Go for the hemi
