I would get one with the manual trans and a mileage chip like the HyperMax. |

)(=My truck needs the overdrive because at 2000rpms(best mpg) it runs only 62-63mph. This truck ran 1750rpms at 70 mph. If my truck(5.9L) would do that I could get 25mpg all the time. I'm sure the 6.7 will get better mpg once it breaks in but how much better is the question. I must say I was impressed with the fit, finish, comfort and styling. The multifunction area between the big gauges takes a little effort to figure out but I like it. I don't much care for the new outside mirrors though. Cameras would be better than those things. |
If you want better mileage from the 6.7 Cummins the DPF and EGR need to be removed but that will void your warranty. However I have read that they can be replaced with the right removal techniques.
