Hi guys. What do you guys get for mileage on a 4.7 in a 1500? My dad has a 2002 4.7 with 3.55's and 285/75/17 tires. He's getting around 12 mpg average. I have a little knowledge on these engines, I'm a 2nd guy so these are out of my region lol. Any help is appreciated

 

2002 4.7 quad 17 mpg avg

 

I don't have a Ram but my Dakota with the 4.7 averages 15.1 mpg.

 

What do you have other than stock components?

 

2002 Ram 4.7 2WD, 3.55 gears, 265/70/17 Yoko Geolandar HT-S, getting 14.7 average highway and city driving. 9 in town, 18 open highway. 20 with pure gas.

 

Which truck is that, DD? I don't see it in your sig

 

Sell it and buy a Hemi.

Also, did you notice I took one of your foglight bulbs?

 

Dad's. lol
Dad's truck. lol

hmmmm....maybe I should look and see?

 

Driving around 60mph I could get 20mpg even loaded up, but the way I normally drove- anywhere from 15-17 on average. Which is 70 to 75mph or faster and city traffic here and there.

 

Don't buy a gas Dodge if you want good mileage.
