I have a 00 QC 4x4 4.7 5spd 3.92lsd, gibson cat back and extang tonneau.
I get 13-14 around town, and 16-18 on the highway. Towing 2 snowmobiles
and loaded to the gills mileage goes down to 11-12. What tires you run
makes a big difference, the stock badyears got me at least 1mpg more
compared to my winter tires BFG All Terrain T/A's. I'll be putting the
badyears back on soon for summer use until they are bald, and then they'll
be replaced with something like the BFG Long Trail T/A to bump up the
mileage.
