What is the dif. in mpg?

And which do you have and why?

Thanks.

I have a 2wd... cause I like better fuel mileage and have no need for 4wd.

i have a 2nd gen 24v but i think i can still chime in as to why I prefer 4wd

4wd has a better stance, can be lifted, and also you never know where you might end up and what you might encounter..so why not be prepared?

I've heard 3mpg is average difference.
I have 4wd trucks because I need the extra traction in the winter and spring. It's no fun getting stuck in a muddy field or pasture miles away from anybody.

ive heard its closer to 1 mpg..but i still dont think that MPGs should be the determining factor

4wd, i drive through a lot of high mountain passes all through the year. mostly lolo pass on idaho/montana and down the lochsa river. i ran in 4wd for 500-600 miles in a 900 mile trip this winter... not a lot of fun.

yeah but if mpg is really concerning you then, you shouldn't be buying a truck in the first place. just my .02

dang... since you have all that extra money laying around, how about tossing me some. My truck is a working truck. yes fuel mileage is of concern. A business can't make money if it pisses it away out the exhaust pipe.

Just so happen I'm looking at new truck, according to 2 different Dodge dealers, in a diesel there is NO to .5 miles difference between a 2x or 4x. And both said it's a totally different story if your talking gas trucks. To check this out I went to a Ford dealer and basiclly got the same story. (since my current truck is a ford 3/4 gas)
.
Not to be throwing rocks but Mileage is part of the reason I'm looking also. I hope I'm not fixing to spend x amount of money to get the same mileage I'm currently getting.
That's kinda stupid. hopefully I'll be getting a truck that get 16-20 MPH. That better than the 11-12 I'm currently getting. Just my .02

i completely agree..if your running a business and the trruck will not be required to have offroad capability then I see what your saying about not spending the extra money..also, if you have workers driving the trucks 4x4 may be a tempting toy when not at work...but 4x4 trucks do have alot more versatility and the margain of difference in gas mileage in minimal

4x4 really helped me out in the rain when I had my old balding tires on. Other than that, since buying it in Sept. of '07 haven't had a chance to really use it.

 

[lap_traffic]

I get 20.5 mpg st 70mph. I have the 4x4 just in case. I would rather have it, than want it :thumbsup

I wanted a 4X4 so I could tow it behind my motorhome.
