2002 Dodge Ram 1500 Real Gas Mileage: Cons

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. see full Dodge Ram 1500 review

Not much I don't like about this truck, but MPG with a Hemi combined with heavy loads means 12-13 mpg consistently. Not sure newer trucks would do any better with my 1000 lb load in the back. Highway mileage is only 16-17 at best. see full Dodge Ram 1500 review

I average 12 mpg with just me in the cab. see full Dodge Ram 1500 review
