When you're in the hills of WV, everything shifts often..........and it's still shifting often???
We actually didn't even bring the radar detector. Just planned on running the limit. I just swapped out from driving. We are now on 26 about 25 miles from 95.
I will give the Dodge Props, it did a good job of grade braking. On those long hills I didn't even touch the brake. Just took my foot off the gas.
That will add some time...Just planned on running the limit.
You know people slam the 5.3 and say it isn't a towing motor, I'll you what, I wouldn't trade my stock 5.3 for this chipped and breathing 5.7 Hemi. Oh, and I can get 9.5 MPG towing my 10k box camper and this one is only doing 9 towing 2200 of flat trailer. Don't know yet loaded, it is running 3rd a lot and 2nd frequently. Haven't figured out how to lock overdrive out.
Oh, you want to hear something funny. F-I-L got into an argument over gas. He says a vehicle uses more gas if it gets less than 1/2 tank. I know a lot of vehicles the 2nd half of the tank will go faster, but MPGs don't go down. We'be had to stop everytime we get to 5/8s of a tank.
Us old farts can be stupidly stubborn like that.
As fuel levels go down, so does weight load. So in fact MPG would go Up.
But hardly noticeble on a 6,000 lb truck.
BTW, assuming I am wrong here,,,,,Getting off the highway to refill at 1/2 tankful would use more gas than your FIL's theory could possibly save.
I agree with both of these sentiments. Takes a lot of time to, have to make sure you can get in and out with the trailer. He would just rather put 30 or 40 in vs. 70 or 80 or more.
