Gmantwo Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 Looking at a 2012 Dodge diesel 2500. Was wondering what fuel mileage I might expect everyday, and while towing a 6800# dry weight TT. We get 6-7 pulling with my wife’s Toyota Sequoia and are looking at this truck. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXiceman Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 Hard to give a close estimate. It all depends on several factors...one is how fast you drive. The other is are you driving flat lands to mountains. But you should expect as low as 7 or 8 and as high as 12 mpg.

Gmantwo Posted July 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2021 Thanks, might as well keep the Sequoia if it’s gonna be that low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People do not buy an RV for good fuel economy. You will like a diesel for better pulling power. We tow the rig in our signature at 65 mph and trailer a bit over 19,000 lb. We typically get 9 mpg and on rare occasion, close to 10 mpg. In the mountains, we will get 7 to 8 mpg... A gasser would not begin to tow this load.

jenandjon Posted December 12, 2021 Report Share Posted December 12, 2021 We have a 09 one ton but its deleted and straight piped. It will get 20 empty and 12-15 with a 30 ft stock trailer loaded with cattle.

Properly geared and driven correctly no prob at all. Let the gasser ride at peak torque no issue. Rev it up and let it roar. No lugging in OD not built that way.
