Kinetic energy of the weight benefits mileage though especially in a highway scenario. Just like how pulling an empty enclosed trailer is a b*** but you get better mileage once it's loaded. And slowing down just helps. That goes for towing or empty. My problem was my wind drag equivalent was...

Well positive and negative scenarios in comparing those products. The portable hot spot is going to provide faster speeds as it's 4g enabled and dedicated Service, but it's limited in data availability. The truck is unlimited data but at 3g speeds. Even so, with a family heavy use streaming...

You're in Canada a grill cover isn't really something you get the option to play with or not. It's a necessary evil. Temps in the 30s I can barely hit 200F 30 minutes of idling and 20 minutes of in town driving this morning my coolant temps were again dropping at idle. And this is with my grill...

I just got my worst mileage ever not towing. I-29 from way up north by me to Fargo ND 75MPH speed limit and a 15+MPH dead on head wind. And the high rise cap. I could barely see 17 instant on the evic maybe 19 if I could tuck behind another high profile car. It was rough. But when you think...

Web is your best friend. Locally nothing is stocked and the only thing that I can get from local car quest is liquiMoly and it's expensive from retail store like that. If you're going to do your own changes and aren't looking to purchase in bulk then online ordering is absolutely best

Maybe so but when it's the middle of the winter in Minnesota and it takes an hour for your diesel to hit a decent temp even being plugged in, and your job sucks, it sure is nice to be able to have your phone start your truck out in the lot on the other side of the plant and have it waiting for...

Yeah if I get over 7k I start getting uncomfortable feeling about it... I like 6-7k range. A periodic fuel drain and a fuel filter every other oil change. Very reasonable maintenance costs

I think it's kind of a poor call by the engineers not to use a brake interlock for neutral to reverse like Every single vehicle has been for decades past. I don't understand where that logic was lost is all

I'm pretty sure persons and payload they had over 1000#. Doesn't really matter much when you're sticking to flat ground. Up Hill at 55 with the extra weight is what kills your mileage. But 1000 miles to a tank is pretty frickin extreme. And impressive.

Anyone ever see this blog? From a Shell hypermile. 38.1MPG hand calculated. http://www.autoblog.com/2014/05/09/hypermiling-ram-1500-ecodiesel-38-mpg/

I put a leer high rise on and barely lost any mileage. Tonneau wasn't a noticeable difference but I installed it after the 6 hour drive home the day I got my truck. Leer 122 I maybe lose 1MPG straight driving but I still match pretty well to what I was at. But a head or cross wind, I do feel...

What exactly happened in this case?

I used it one month but right after payment posted the uconnect representative informed me there was no coverage in my area. Nearest would be 2 hours away next major city Grand Forks MN/ND. I was a bit upset. It does Work well there and to someone more localized it's probably well worth it but...

I personally had to tear apart my garage and remove shelving from half of the garage to fit my 20' truck in because I wanted a 6' box. It's still tight. Then I went and did something stupid like put a high rise topper with a 7' garage door for some reason so it's stuck outside all winter. Even...

No kidding and I'm rural by Canadian Border here. Anyways you should probably make sure that you're quoting a 55 gallon drum and not the 30-40(I can't remember what exactly oil drum standard size is anymore) so you know what cost analysis you're really giving yourself

That being said garagability is a serious factor for many people buying midsize trucks. They have no need for a full size but they want a pickup box and a truck platform. Rarely tow. Just a grocery getter. Maybe pull an ATV or boat but no serious weight

I grab the dash whenever I jump in the BMW to drive now! Lol

How does it stand up to highway speeds? Does it seem like the wind is going to kill it? I had considered one new, I may be interested

How do you like your Victory? The ecodiesel is easy to become a new favorite if you're not a die hard for your 2 wheels. Just curious as I Work for Polaris but I've never gotten the opportunity to get on one

Hope you get some good information and share some knowledge! Happy to have you here! 100mile commute is one thing I don't think I could handle. I live a mile from my primary job. But my secondary job is a 750mile one day round trip in the truck, the comfort of a high end model is worth it...
