Man I really feel bad for you guys with the new shiny trucks. I know they are heavier, but dang the milage is down compared to the old ones. A friend has an 07 mega cab all stock and not only does my old 12V outrun him, but I get 22mpg empty on the interstate, 24.5mpg running 65 on the two lane roads and 14mpg towing 6,000lbs.

BUT< his truck sure is nice inside and out and if I didn't have a 70 mile a day commute I'd probably get one and forget the milage. I guess it's just another of the tradeoffs. We all have to decide what's important to us.
