Drove a 4x4 auto SLT today. The ride is MUCH better than mine and I love everything about the interior, but I know now why the 6.7 guys are taking the emissions stuff off their trucks. 12-13 hwy mpg is shocking.
Why would anybody buy a diesel that gets that poor mileage unless it's for towing heavy.
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.
