Great looking Raptor. Once you’ve had one..You can Never go back. Rides like an Escalade on the highway but does everything my Jeep’s or H2’s did except better!

Actually used the truck bed today and took the push mower and snowblower to get serviced. From there I met up with a buddy who has a new Ram TRX.

Rolled over 10,000 miles on the way to work this morning.

Little fuel economy experiment. Proof that you can get 500 plus miles out of a tank.
The computer is a little off though. 500 miles / 30.168 gallons gives you 16.573 MPG’s.

Took my dad to Seattle for the long weekend to visit family. Had a head wind almost all the way to Seattle which really didn’t help the fuel economy. Still, overall around 17mpg isn’t terrible.
Average speed? Manage 17+ To 19.5mpg on longer highway trips on flat highway. Speeds 70 on UP!

In Montana I’d guess close to 80mph
Idaho I’d guess 75mph
Washington I’d say 73mph
Lots of hills and mountain passes. Anything north of 17mpg on the highway at 70mph or more is pretty acceptable. The truck read 15.5 or so almost all the way to Seattle, the head wind was nasty.
Yeah that sounds good under those conditions. Strong head winds and going over 80 will definitely eat some gas. I rather drive Into the wind then have cross winds on the highway anytime. Nearly all trucks get blown around. Is that on 91 or 93 oct?

Honestly, I’m not sure what the octane was. I always reach for the highest. I don’t think it was 93, I think it was always 91.
So there is more mileage and power to squeeze out on 93! It’s too bad 93 is harder to find out west.
