Averaging 10.8 Mpg at 55-60 on interstate
Aside from the obscured view in the rearview mirror, can u even tell if that little thing is behind you?
Gondul,LOL... it makes a hell of a racket while empty, but once it was loaded up I couldn't really tell it was back there.
Gondul,
Are we going to see an Airstream behind that new 2500 soon?
*My DW liked your spawn reference. We’re finally empty nesters again after the oldest and his wife found a new house after selling theirs in a week and living with us for 11 months. Hint: you think they’re gone but they’ll be back!
BillnLA,New member here. Week old 2019 2500 4x4 Big Horn with the 6.4L and 3.73 gear ratio. Took it out this morning to start the "break-in" towing. Made a loop of 103 miles. From computer, 10.4 mpg avg. This was combination of level and hilly areas , and two lane/interstate. About half in tow/haul mode and half in D just to see the difference. In D pulled level at 50 mph in 7th gear, shifting down to 6th and 5th to negotiate the hills. In tow/haul mode didn't come out of 6th gear except on hills. Bumper pull TT with 12000 lb Equalizer hitch. Gross weight rating for trailer is 8995, dry 6932. Running with all of our gear loaded except food and clothes. Probably in the above 8000 range. Tongue weight close to 1K. Really satisfied with the performance, coming from towing this same rig with wife's '19 1500 Laramie. No sway or feeling the large trucks passing on the interstate
Ha! Right there with ya on the retirement properLikely not as soon as I would like, but we shall see... retirement proper isn't too far away!
The youngest has been gone for a bit... this is the older one who is finally moving on.
Now if only FCA would offer that in the HD trucks... more smiles per mile!The 6.4L SRT engine is available on the Dodge Charger and Challenger lineups. This engine produces 485 horsepower and 475 lb-ft of torque and helps the Dodge Charger to accelerate from 0-60 mph in the low four-second range and hit a top speed of 182 mph

I'd be interested in seeing some more discussion on 3.73 vs. 4.10 with the new 8 spd. Looks like we have some actual reporting on the 3.73 and much more favorable towing results than the 6 spd. Obviously 4.10 should be great for towing, but any other advantages other than approx. 2500lb more tow capacity? Anyone towing with it yet? How much sacrifice in mileage? This is my only remaining decision to make...having a tough time with it. I'm planning on a 2500 Laramie Crew Cab, 6'4" bed. Daily Driver (3x per week)/Family Weekend Trips/Tow heavy (15K) about once a month.
