It is a 3/4 ton 4x4 truck with a beefy off-road oriented suspension, gearing and tires. Should have bought a prius if you wanted gas mileage.

i have to disagree with that last statement. rams come with 3.55's or 3.92s. with the 33s the 4.56s are the right ratio especially with the extra weight. the problem is that the Ram is a brick wall on the road. like others have said, not much you can do. you bought the baddest truck on the road, the downside is they are very thirsty. i get like 17 on the highway but knew this going in. i could have gotten a gas stingy P.O.S but what fun is that??? one way to look at this is oil is below $90 again so gas should fall below the $3 mark again soon. cross your fingers.

yea man nothing is wrong with the truck it's just that it's not built to be a highway driver it's a work truck and a bad *** one at that.
