looked at an 03 1500 4x4 hemi for sale what do they get for mpg im sure its not great like to know what some of you get for mpg with yours?

 

Best: 16.1 Average: 'bout 12.X. Almost no in-town driving. Occasional light trailer towing. Visit fuelly.com - you can get accurate information for every year. You can probably figure 11-13 with the 4x4.

 

I had an 04 4x4 285/70/17 and 4.56 gears. 13 in town, 15 on the freeway.

 

I have that exact year 4x4 Hemi QC sb 3:55 gears with 275x20 R60 wheels/tyres.
I get 10 in stop start town traffic and can get up to 15-16 at about 62-65 mph freeway miles.

this place says 11 mpg city does that sound right at all.from what you guys posted its not.

Most of these guys mod their trucks, so if the truck is all stock, you'll have to disregard most of those figures...


My Truck: 2008 dodge Ram 1500 QC 4x4 w/3:92 gears.

My window sticker says 13/17 and that is with an MDS engine which an '03 does NOT have. So I would assume 12/16 is what previous years would have been rated.

When my truck was completely stock...Iif I went super easy(nobody does unless you own a Prius or ar 70yrs old) I would get 13/17 just as advertised. But driving normally like most of use do, 12/16 was about the norm. i would average 14mpgs

If you do more city, your gonna be leaning to the 12 side. If it's all highway, you's be up to 16.
If you drive hard, heavy footed, you probably will be around 10-11 city and 14-15 on the highway.

 

I just bought my 05 a couple weeks ago. 5.7, QC, 4x4 all city driving I got 14mpg out of my first two fill ups.

 

'05 std cab, 4 x 4, 3:92 gear, 5.7, 32,000 miles on it, only had it about 4 mo. Around town 14 mpg. They say It gets 22 on road.

 

22? Never...unless you're coasting down a hill all the way!

 

Not sure who told you that. f these trucks were able to get better than 17mpg as stated on my Window Sticker w/MDS, I'm pretty sure Chrysler would have pushed that figure hard core!

I think you'll find the more you drive it, your not going to get any better than what it was rated from the factory.
