Great , as long as you don't have to pull a trailer over 2k pounds .

Well , gas mileage is not the R/T , or any other Mopar's strongpoint . I
was able to coax 20MPG out of mine when it had about 15k miles on a very
long trip to VA back around Turkey Day of 98 . This meant not going over 60
MPH AT ALL .
If you go over 60 , or 2000 RPM , the mileage drops fast .
I went on another long trip to FL last summer and without running the AC I
got 15-16 MPG running about 75-80 MPH .
Don't buy the truck if you need something to get good mileage , get it to
drive it .

Nope , just the towing issue , so decide if you will ever have to tow more
than 2000 pounds *before* you buy it .
