    Depending on the road (hills?, rough?, traffic?) around 9 MPG.

    If anyone is curious, I did fuel filter maintenance today at 13385 miles using 830 gallons of diesel on my 2018 RAM 2500 4WD

    Towing miles were 4374 mile, so, 32.7% of the time towing, other mileage was mixed use - California city and highway in various terrain - even towing over the Grapevine and Barstow-Bakersfield Hwy several times. (those are long gradient pulls)

    That equals = 16.12 MPG combined. Real time towing via the computer is around 11-12 MPG.

    I have a 2018 F450 4.30 gears pulling a 337RLS and I get 6-7mpg. FWIW...I did not buy this truck for the fuel economy. I bought it for the turning radius, brakes and 19.5 medium duty tires.
