VT_Hokie Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Wow that's a nice looking truck. I just moved from Southern Virginia to Vermont so I'm thinking about trying to get rid of my G8 GT and get into something like this or a Jeep. The G8 just isn't cut out for the winters up here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigredmariner Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Yeah it was a good looking truck, he has since sold it and is now riding in a nice White 2500 HD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiterp199 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Nice. So I have to ask what is the mileage like? I am interested in getting a truck like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortplainman Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 think he probably didnt get better than 14mpg but im just guessing based off of mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VT_Hokie Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 think he probably didnt get better than 14mpg but im just guessing based off of mine. jeebus! 14mpg highway?! that's a tough pill to swallow if you've got anything more than a 20-30 minute commute....

fortplainman Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 i daily drive 20 minutes to college...and im lucky if i get 12mpg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiterp199 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 jeebus! 14mpg highway?! that's a tough pill to swallow if you've got anything more than a 20-30 minute commute.... Wow. I may reconsider lifting a truck if I get one. I will have a 70 mile round trip commute each day and 14 is a little low. I could deal with around 18 to 20. I am kind of thinking about an ecoboost f150 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was seriously considering selling the G8 for a lifted pickup or wrangler but this is a sad wake up call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortplainman Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 well you figure i probably got stock around 17mpg mixed, got as high as 20-22mpg pure highway. then ive tuned it, running 93 octane, big 35 inch tires, and stock gears. all kinda a mix for bad fuel economy. That's bad man...that's like Cherokee SRT-8 territory... where in upstate NY are you? I'm just over the state lines in Wells, VT. from fort plain originally(literally take NY map point at center thats where its at) but im up in rochester ny for school Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have a buddy with an 06 ram 2500 with a 6 speed and a cummins and he normally gets well into the 20's for mileage. He also has some decent sized tires on it. It is not fast by any means but it will rip your house right off the foundation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus that's a diesel, substantially better fuel mileage. Not to mention the best diesel engine on the market all the way across the board CUMMINS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way it sits it will go most places a decently lifted 1500 will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinlessVillainy Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 The truck looks awesome! I love those wheels too! I wanted a set for my Tacoma back when I still had it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
