David,
The link above shows that the V-6 Reg cab 4X2 manual
should get 16/22 so you got about a 10% bost in gas
mileage.
Will's is rated at 15/20 for the 4.7 4X2 manual 20%
bost.
I have a QC 4X4 - see signature line- and rated for
14/18 and have been getting about 20.5 @65 witha all
the mods; about a 10% gain. When I have the time I'll
do some highway mileage at 60mph for comparision.
If I could be assured of getting Will's mpg I would
trade in my V-6 QC for a 4.7 QC tomorrow (Will no
flame intended). I like to get the mpg up. I'm
guessing some of the factors are the weight of my
truck and the hight vs your trucks.
And will from what you wrote in your previous posts
you deserve the truck.
Keep us updated on the mpg info.
Thanks
