What's the gas mileage on those, I heard it wasn't too good?
Considering that it's got a high-output 5.6L V8, it's not bad. It *is* worse than the Ford 4.6 V8 and V6 trucks, about the same as the 5.4 trucks in some configurations. Comparing to GM, worse than the 4.8 and 5.3, better than the 6.0. I don't know how they compare to the Ram because Dodge only makes one engine worth considering, the Cummins Turbo Diesel.
Probably 18. It's hard to tell.
These are oilfield trucks and spend most of their (brutal and short) lives on "lease" roads --- dirt roads -- hauling roughnecks and very heavy pieces of iron.
They don't break as much, which is all I care about.
I do have F-350s for the heavier stuff.
Nissan also lets me order them like I want: white, no carpet, vinyl seats, automatic, 4x4 with skid plates et al, and an AM/FM radio, cancel step rails. A real work truck.
