95 Dodge Ram 2500. 5.9 Cimmins Turbo diesel. Mauual 5 speed tranny, and 4.11 rear end. I carry a static 2000lb load in the bed. Truck is normally scaling 8100lb without driver. It gives me 17 to 18 mpg around town. When towing the race car I unload some of the gear from the bed then tow a 20' enclosed with a 2650lb car and about 500lbs of gear. At 60mph towing in 5th gear I can get 17mph on flat ground. It drops to 12mph at 70mph and when towing through the mountains. The truck has 420XXX original miles and still pulling strong.

Chuck you just made my day!!! Purchased an 05 Cummins TD and to date it has just over 15K. Looks like she is with me for the long run!! Our truck is a 4spd auto but has a tow/haul mode gets roughly 12-13 MPG while towing a 24 footer wieghing in at just a hair over 9K lbs with all the equipment. We used to used my father's 03 Ram 2500 with the Hemi and used to tow with the OD off since she would hunt between 4th and 5th all the time. Although with the Hemi cranking at 3k with a Gibson and cold air intake it was music to the ears!!
