Putting the 1000ft lbs to work

Didn't even know the 16k lb boat was back there! We are very impressed with the 2018 to 2019 changes so far!

Did you tow enough miles to get a feel for MPG??? Also, starting to read complaints that they use A LOT more DEF than before, if you took notice.

Haven't towed further then a few miles to fill the boat up yet. Will get back to you next week because we will be towing a couple hundred miles this weekend. I have noticed the instant mileage on the dash will show around 22 mpg empty where our same spec 2018 will show 26-27 on the same road. This hasn't been hand calculated yet though so we will see where it ends up after a few tanks and breaks in more. Not sure on DEF yet either.

My 19 HO uses a noticeable amount more DEF than my 17 HO. I get a solid 10 mpg towing this beast. On a trip from central Florida to North Carolina I averaged 10.5 mpg. Trailer weight 16k to 17k pounds.

Similar setup for me with our Fuzion toy hauler. My initial tow will be to Talladega in a few weeks from Tampa area. Good info.

I tow a 45' Momentum 398m and roughly 19,500#. Average with good size hills is 6.6mpg fully loaded(going from PHX to say Williams AZ). I do have the 4.10 though.

I also have the 4.10 gears. How did it pull through the mountains?

It did very well. Normally I would be 45-48 up the big hills and now I am 55-60 up the same ones.

So I assume you have the HO setup, correct?

Is that running up I-17 to Flag, or 89 to Ash Fork? I am hoping for better mpg than that, even pulling heavy.

Pretty close on both. Heading up to Payson I was slightly better but not a lot. I put a 50 gallon Transfer Flow bed tank on so I can pass a few of the gas stations.....hehe
