My Ram is a 24 srw 3500, stock HO Cummings 425HP/1075 torque 3.73 gears which is the only srw diesel gear, drw can option 4.10. Empty on flat highway 65 mph gets low 20s mpg, hills or faster mileage drops. I'll be moving a 11,000 lb boat from OH to FL in a few months so we'll see. Former gm employee & GMC owner, I like my Ram & got a killer deal.

@@jimf1450 i didn't know you can't get the 410 in srw. I wanted the 373 but it cut back on my tow rating. Thx for tuning in Jim. Good luck on your boat run. Get me some numbers after.

Unless you are hauling over 10,000 pounds gas is a better option. The cost of modern diesel is no longer workable. I have an older diesel, no DEF, no regen filter, manual trans. Simple compared to the new ones. Remember many service items on the new monster diesel pickups require the cab to be lifted off. If you have unlimited money fine, but most everyday Americans can't afford the modern diesel pickup.

@@pcmountaindog i agree with all of this. Diesel was doing great until DEF. I will be doing over 10k every once in awhile but with this 8 speed trans, it's not that bad of a thing. Thank you for the comment, and the view. Have a great day!!!

Hello. So thinking of starting to transport rv’s. Hearing about costs that eat into what one gets paid per run food, fuel, insurance, truck maintenance, etc. I never hear anyone talk about weight station stops. Are you required to stop at the weight stations to get weighed ? Or buy the gear for the no stop ones ?

@@run-n-smoke7336 everyone i know with a Ford product has recalls on a regular basis. They can't keep them out of the shop. Nothing that disables the vehicles. Just all the extra things that are in the truck. Window motors, switches, light issues. I'm sure some will not have issues, but Ford guys i know haven't been happy last few years.
