I just got home from a 300 mile trip to a rodeo. Pulled my 4500 lb trails west gooseneck, with 2 1200 lb horse in it. Total weight was about 6900/7000 lbs. It was hot (103 degrees) with air conditioning on, SOme slow Mtn driving up switchbacks, mostly hwy miles with cruise set at 65 MPH... . HAND CALCULATED mileage was 18. 1 MPG. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I posted yesturday that I got 25 empty all hwy and 24 on return with slight head wind enpty... Keeps gettin better and better. Smooth as heck, beats my 01 by a bunch! I guess the new rear end works!!!!!!!!

of course it's a 4x2 all stock... Quad cab LWB... . Go silver go!!!

They really are awesome, aren't they?



Just wait and see what it'll do when you get some real weight behind one. :-laf

Well, the most it will ever pull is another 1200 lb horse so around 8200lbs... I'm guessing! ?! Yes, I was very impressed , especially with all this talk of low MPG's on the new 600's... I guess not bein 4x4 and stock that really helps... read a lot about " Bombing" on here, and I tell ya, If it aint broke, I'm not going to try and fix it!!
