Right now I am getting 13 -14. Driving the 6.0 on the same roads got 14 - 16.
My old 6.0 was a great truck - NO problems and was paid for, but we need the truck for business and needed to spend some profits. . . . . . . .
Nice to spend the profit on an 08 SD!
My 08 4x4 psd has 16k miles now and my mileage is getting slightly better; 14 around town, 16-17 highway, 12mpg towing 12k lbs.
As far as the power goes, Awesome; I drove my 05 yesterday(my buddy bought it), which is still a great truck but it felt sluggish and the interior looked ancient! Amazing how quickly we get used to the creature comforts.

How much does your Nortech weigh on the trailer? What kind of setup do you have and does it tow the weight well? What did you tow with before and how does it compare?

Wow, Bill! That truck is just awesome. I love, the color and everything! You'll love it, the 6.4 is proving to be a great motor.

About 16k total. Tows it awesome. Had a suburban that I used 2 tow it about 2 miles w/ last year. Actually have not towed it far but I did tow a buddies 47 Beaker about 4 hours worth down I75 a few weeks ago and it probably is a little heavier, his trailer is dif. Stuck the cruise at about 65mph & did not hardly know it was there!!! Frick'n love it!!!!
