Tookt he 914 out for a drive today. Absolutely gorgeous day here in Oregon. Hit 76 I believe. When I got home just parked it behind my new truck. Went inside for dinner. When I came back out to put the teener back in it's home in the shop. I though hey this is how it will look when I tow with this. Man I am not even going to be able to see my teener behind my truck. LOL
My truck is a 2014 Ram 1500 with the EcoDiesel motor. Absolutely love this truck. Haven't had a real truck in a good 12 years. I'm averaging 22mpg in my first 2 fill up's in it. Truck is the tradesman model which is a little stripped down interior wise. Other than that it's everything I want. Absolutely love the Rambox in the truck bed. I fit all my tools on the side of the bed. Makes the bed a little smaller but not bad at all. Plus they lock & unlock with my doors. It was funny as hell driving my truck all day. Then hoping in my 914 for my drive. Just a slight difference in ride height. Attached thumbnail(s)

QUOTE(Cracker @ Mar 31 2016, 11:22 PM)  22 MPG??? Damn. I might have to switch out of my Cummins. Impressive. T It's supposed to get 20mpg in town & 28 on hwy. With the oversized tires I'll never get there. When I wear these out I will go down a size. My speedo is off & dodge can only calibrate to the sizes available on their trucks. I can calibrate if I buy a management program. Just doubt I will screw with it. I had a nice stretch on a rural why where I did get 27 for about an hour. No wind helps a lot. LOL! I drive a lot for work so really hoping to keep it in the mid 20's. I'll be towing my brick of a work trailer today. So I'm curious to see how it will do for mileage. Just a 6x12 trailer but we customize it taller for hauling video games. Basically add 18" on top of your typical small cargo trailer. It is a Vnose but man it has some drag from wind. Will be much better behind my truck than my previous Chevy Equinox suv. Man that wouldn't take long to blow my tranny with that. Really worked hard even with a pretty light load. Luckily I didn't tow much with it. |
