Just completed my first long trip, 1100 km, with this truck and found the manual calculation and the on board computer were very close. I can't get my head around the metric measurements so end up converting to miles per Imp Gallon which takes a bit of work or I switch the truck computer over from Km to miles and get the miles per US Gallon and add 20% to get the Imp. Calculation which is what I grew up with.
Got 22 mpg (Imp) on the way out (not towing) and just over 20 coming back at 105 km/h (65 mph). Biggest difference was wind conditions . MPG is down a bit from previous truck which was '08 Ram 2500 but than this truck is much heavier.
Will be picking up new Mountaineer in a few weeks so will see what 12,000 lbs in tow will do to the mpg. Am hoping for 10-12 mpg but at the end of the day I'm going camping regardless.
