Was in lances truck tonight for a min and done a short video of 0-60 launch. We just got back from Illinois hauling 1600lbs in the bed, pulling a 16ft trailer with 3500lbs on it. Got 11.9mpg loaded and got 13.5mpg coming home empty running 80-85...this truck pulls so much better than mine does tuned and with a cai. Anyways, here's the short video. Taking off in 4 high to prevent spinning...

Enclosed or open deck. I had a 15ft open deck dual axle car trailer and got 17 mpg empty doing 70-73. I try not to speed to much w a trailer - empty or loaded.

What's the average mixed driving mpg with this 6.2 crew cab?

Around town I'm used to 13.5. Highway 20. I'm planning for the future so thanks guys for answering my questions

Can't believe u guys cruise at 80mph. Lol. That'd def be a 15 over ticket here in NY.

Well the speed limit was 70. That's what it is everywhere around here an surrounding states. The trailer is just a regular flat wood bottom trailer with short side rails. He was sitting on 20.9 when he got back from the dealership. Bout 25 miles of back roads and 40 miles of interstate. This truck and all these new 6.2's are gonna get killer mileage I think...

If you only knew how I was driving!! Its not just running 80 itss 85-90 then down to 75 on a cars bumper then they move over and its back 80% throttle till Im back on 85 then if next car doesnt move Im 100% throttle till Im around (her) then back on 85-90! Prolly get a reckless driving tickets for some of those moves I performed!! So it did pretty good on gas I think!!
