I just finished my first long trip with the new new truck started Friday morning. Trip stats: 1,400 miles, 22 hrs, 140 gals of gas, 10 avg mpg, 13,000 lbs gvw and now one dirty truck. The hemi had plenty of power the trip was from UT to MT and across MT and back then back to UT so there were more than enough long pulls up hills and mtns. Oh and the truck is a 2006 Mega Cab pulling a three horse slant trailer.


2006 Black Mega Cab
Current mods: Access tonneau cover, 3rd Strike CAI,Tekonsha PRIMUS Trailer Brake Controller, Sumitt Turbo Muffler, Tow Mirrors, Tranny Temp Gauge in SRT A Pillar
Pending Mods: Tuner, Tint Front Windows, Nerf Bars
