The Radio Flyer is now officially out of warranty.....

I haven't noticed any oil consumption. Wondering if you have noticed any at 150k?.

Normal industry standard is 1 quart burned for every 750-1000 miles. But i am not seeing any oil consumption.

Awesome! Glad to see so many trouble free miles! My 2015 is almost 2 years old and only has 21K miles on it. I have a business car that I drove 5 days a week and only drive my Ram camping or for weekend errands!

Great post, we just traded our 2012 for a 2016 and just one of the reasons was poor MPG. On the way home from the dealer which was a 600 mile drive we clocked 18.3 MPG which is a # we NEVER saw on our 2012.

3.73's our 2012 had 4.10's but with the new tow ratings we sill have a 24900lb tow rating. Almost 6K more than the old truck!

3.73's are a great compromise for me and my needs. With that being said, I'm going to try the 4.10's next time as there's only about 200 rpm difference in 6th gear around 70 mph.

Will you then say the 3.73's are "USELESS" ??? I am KIDDING, I just had to say that.

I "doubt" it......I hit 19.8 mpg and a recent 19.2 mpg hand calculated in the past. My 3.73's have been good to me.

I agree the 3.73's will give better solo mileage as will the 3.42's. At this point in my life I really don't care what mileage I get, I just want the truck to do it's job. If I cared I would tow at 60 instead of 75 where the law allows. Its hard to see but it was averaging 7mpg. Is it possible to change that from blue to white?
