Default 7.3

7.3. Not the engine, my towing mileage per gallon:




Boat is sold. Anyone interested in buying a 2006 Power Wagon? 5.7 Hemi with 4.56 ratio gears. The navigation system does tell you where the next gas station is located. I had only towed short distances before this weekends run to LA, so I mistakenly thought I got 9.0 miles per gallon while towing. Highway mileage without towing is an impressive 12.9 mpg.

Wow, that's particularly underwhelming even with a 4.56 rear end. You sure your trailer has wheels

Good Lord...that's pretty miserable gas mileage.
