[QUOTE="LDUBS, post: 460915, member: 21536"] I am on my third month with a new RAM Laramie 1500 crew cab V6 ecodiesel. I will put about 11K/year and guess more than half of that will be towing the boat. It is rated to tow something like 8,000# but I am skeptical of these ratings in general and would not plan on routinely towing anything near the max. I'm ecstatic so far about getting 19 mpg towing my boat. This is a heck of a lot better mileage than I got with my previous Nissan Titan 5.6L V8. In fact, I don't think I ever got 19 mpg in the Titan even when not towing. But, while the diesel has a lot more torque, it has a lot less HP and is also a lot more sluggish compared to the big V8. I don't have a heavy foot, but this difference did take a little while to get used to. Anyway, one of the things that helps my mileage is my boat & trailer is probably about half the weight of your Triton. [/QUOTE]
