I don't know. I bought an 04 Dodge Hemi to replace my aging 99 Ford SuperDuty 5.4 Both are equiped the same, Standard cab 5 speed 4x4 with 4.10 gears. Hemi finaly got broke in so it would pull at 18,000 miles but I still have to keep PRMs above 2500 to get any power out of it. That means no overdrive unless I'm running around 65 or better and it does suck the gas. Just got back from Red Power and didn't figure the milage but it's somewhere around 9. Not too bad considering I was around 17,000 and had quite a bit of hilly conditions and olny about half interstate.
But now the sad part. The Dodge don't have near the low end lugging torque, less ground clearance, and when it got muddy this spring I put the Ford back in service and never looked back. The Dodge ain't scarcly been unhooked from the trailer since. I guess it's my highway vehicle and kind'o expensive for a trailer queen. At some point I'm going to have to trade again and I'm thinking stongly of a real truck.
