2012 4dr Crew Cab 5.5ft bed 390-horsepower 5.7L V8
5-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 I use to own the v6 and I can honestly say that the Hemi get much better fuel mileage because its not trying to lug around the huge chassis and body. My V6 would avg about Mabye 13 MPG while my Hemi can get about 18 to 24 on good days sometimes even better.

5-speed shiftable automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range		 The milleage was terrible , my friend made the same trip as I did with a similar equiped Ford 5.4 L , 4x4 and used 30 % less gas. I rented this truck for a 2 week hunting trip to test it befor buying a new one. I will buy another Ford or GMC.
2008 4dr Crew Cab 6.5ft bed 345-horsepower 5.7L V8
5-speed automatic RWD		 That hemi drinks fuel... we live at 55-60 while towing and 10mpg is all we hope for... we get that on the flats with no headwind. If you get a hill with a headwind you are looking at 4mpg! Buyer beware! fuel is approaching 5 bucks!
2005 4dr Extended Cab 6.5ft bed 345-horsepower 5.7L V8
5-speed automatic RWD		 13 to 15 mpg in town about 17 mpg on the road.
2003 4dr Extended Cab 6.5ft bed 240-horsepower 4.7L V8
4-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range		 I should have bought the Hemi 5.7L engine. The 4.7 is awful...gutless and I get about 13 mpg in a rural setting and can get about 15 in the highway. I drive very conservatively.
2002 4dr Extended Cab 6.5ft bed 240-horsepower 4.7L V8
4-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range		 I average 12 mpg with just me in the cab.
