Those are both really nice trucks. But I gotta go with
the Ram too. Same mileage as a 318?? I thought diesels
like that were getting like 20-22 mpg?

Thanks!

The newer ones don't get as good fuel mileage due to emissions, etc. But,
where else can you tow a Ram SRT-10 500 miles, average 16.2 mpg, gross weight
15,000 lbs, going up a big mtn pass (Grapevine Pass) still in overdrive, and
still have 1/4 tank of fuel when you get home?? I've seen 20 empty at 70 mph,
and I have 4.10 gears. Where else can you get 170+ more hp in 5 minutes and
not even open the hood??

Ed "Olznut" Halterman Canyon Country, Ca, '06 Ram Quad Cab Patriot Blue 2500
Cummins diesel 14.3 at 103 mph! '66 Olds 442, "Project Olds", Intense Blue,
$4000 paint job will be painted by July (I hope)
