2014 2500HD Fuel Mileage?

[heavynlori]

Ours is a 2012 - 2500HD crew cab short bed 4x4 - it has the gas 6.0 with 3.73

We get 15-16 on hwy and 8-10 pulling our Crusader

2009 chevy 6.0 4.10 crew cab long box- pull 13k 5th wheel columbus 365rl 6.5 mpg pulling, lucky it uses so much gas it's easier to check milage every 200 miles at file ups.

I have had both diesel and gas, diesels are nice in fact real nice but now I only pull 25 miles at a time each way and twice a year 300 round trip. So it's not worth to have the diesel anymore, but if you plan to travel 4-5 hrs more the 3-4 times a year it would be worth it. All depends how deep you pocket is and how patient you are.....

And to figure someone's milage remove 3 mpg from The story- it usually happened 1 time-perfect condition and the wife drove half it

not true here. Anything my wife drives with her heavy foot gets 3-5 less MPG than what I would get

same here had a 2013 2500HD 6.0 got 9 towing 13/14 not traded to a 2012 duramax 10/12 towing 19 not
wish i had went with the diesel first time but talked myself out of it
BAD me, live and learn, the diesel is twice the truck IMO

Only had it a week so far. 1200 miles, so it's nowhere near being broke in. At the campground for deer season, and driving a combination of back roads with lots of hills, and maybe 20 miles one way on a flat 4 lane highway with a 60 MPH speed limit. Been averaging 13.5 to 14 on that round trip daily, about 45 miles total one way. I got about 14.5 on the trip down here, about 100 miles, mostly interstate. I don't plan to hook the camper until late spring, early summer, but if I manage to get 9 mpg while pulling it I'll be happy. If I'm able to level out at 15-16 on the highway (not towing) once it's broken in, that would be awesome. Time will tell.

Very happy with it so far!

You'll love the way it pulls and you should see improved mileage as time goes. I get 10+ pulling 14k, and 15.5 average daily commute to work with an even mix of city and highway.

I have a 2013 GMC crewcab 6 1/2 footbed 6.0 4:10 rear gear I get about 8 towing a 12,000# 5th wheel about 10 empty running around town

Thanks for the reply. I've had mine for about two months now, and I am getting around 10-12 running around the city empty. I got 14.5 on the hwy, empty for the most part, just after I bought it, but I haven't had it on a trip since. I still haven't hooked it to a trailer yet, but will see what happens when I do.

Very happy with the truck, even though I liked the ride, and the fuel mileage of the 1500 better. I sure once I hook it up, and drag the camper down the road, I'll like it even more!
