So I've had this truck for just about a month now and it's got just over a thousand miles City driving roughly six and a half miles round-trip to work and home averaging 9.7 miles per gallon 👍
UPDATE 7/5/2017 so after 5000 miles in the city my MPG has moved up to 13 and 17-20 on the highway at 70mph
UPDATE 6/22/2021 with 45,000 miles city still 13 ish, hwy is 17-19. With a 4500lb travel trailer I'm getting 11-12 mpg on the freeway at 55. If I go over 55 with the trailer or lots of hills I'm getting 9

I hope mine continues to improve as well. I have an 18 2500 6.4L which I purchased about 3 weeks ago. It now has just over 1100 miles on it and the avg fuel economy has moved up to 12.9. The first week I had it the number was closer to 9.5 miles per gallon. Are you using 87 or 89 octane?

Boy this has me concerned. I will be replacing my 98 Dodge 2500 4x2 that has a V10. I drove to Florida from Ohio and avg 13.8 mpg. That was w/cruise at 75. I was hoping the 6.4 would be better. Hmm may have to re-think this. I need something that can tow my enclosed trailer.

I have 2017 2500 6.4 with 18k miles and I average 12.5 in town and 13.5 on the highway. And I do not drive it hard at all. MPG is not a friend of mine.

2014 here (Megacab Limited) Little over 33k, since engine first cranked over, its averaging 13-14 MPG in midwest weather. It did open up after about 5,000 miles and you could tell it had a bit more bite and pull to the throttle - also a few MPG's better. Winter, I'm averaging 10-12, summer I'm getting 16+ Took a trip from STL to Herndon, VA and averaged 19MPG. Most of IL-KY was flat ground and for a good hour or two, I was getting 27MPG. Your Mileage May Vary, but thought I'd chime in since you have a similar configuration to mine.

because emissions are so strict these days, short trips will absolutely destroy your fuel economy. I drive a 2015 with a 6.4 for work, and avg about 15mpg. I sometimes average better than what you are getting while TOWING!

I have a 14 RAM 1500 2 door express ,since new under similar commute conditions as yours averaged 11.7 with the 5.7 hemi. hwy mileage is much better (around 23 . mpg )....just ordered a power wagon with the 6.4 so it looks like around town mileage is close to the 5.7s ....hopefully yours will improve a little once broke in.

I had a 2002 Ram 1500 2wd quadcab with the 5.9 that I just trading in for the 2500 and was getting 10mpg on this same commute. I was hoping to get a tad bit better with the new one since it has the cylinder deactivation. Hopefully it will after awhile . right now I just turn off the mileage screen lol

even gm has cylinder deactivation which i find useless in such large vehicles the truck is going against wind hilly terrain and stop and go driving and usually trucks have tools so idk why they would use this for a truck i find this better for a sedan or sports car

Thanks for your review. I too have a new 2017 Ram 2500 HD 6.4. My question is does your brake pedal have some resistance when you depress it. Or is it smooth though out the motion? Thanks
@troystud
@troystud 7 жыл бұрын
yes I have some resistance too, kinda like its pushing back against my foot. But its has great stopping power so I'm not too concerned

I assume your Ram has a squeaking sound during cold startup. It kinda sound like a bad pulley or belt. The Ram forums have many pages of people with this problem going back to 2014. The noise goes away once the Truck is warmed up. Apparently the noise is actually coming from the exhaust and Chrysler says its normal. ANYONE BUYING A RAM 2500 6.4L LISTEN TO IT STARTUP COLD.

Yep sure do, I took it to the dealer and they had it for a week trying to find the nose then they said "oh, its normal."

Did you even watch the video? Clearly the technometer and gas gages aren't showing a reading because the truck in not running. Key is in the Ignition to show the MPGs therefor the check engine light is on. 🙄

I hyper miled it at 55 mph and got 23 mpg without cruise control. At 65 mph I get 19 -20 mpg. At 70 mph I get 16 -18 mpg. At 80 mph I get 13-14 mpg. The best mpg are achieved when you feather it on the highway. Let the gears change and keep the rpm low. In the city I average 8-10 mpg. I hate the roaring engine fan noise in low speed city driving. Buyer beware, the brakes on this truck feel inadequate. It stops with a hope and a prayer. These are some stiff brakes. 2016 Ram 2500 megacab limited 3:73 axle. Transmission failure at 43K. Valve body replaced under powertrain warranty. Ram can't duplicate the intermittent rear end shutter I get sometimes. The rear seat straps keep falling down even though people rarely sit back there. Otherwise, good engine, subpart truck. Right side rambox no longer locks or unlocks with the remote control. I have to use the key. Love the Uconnect. Love my rear air suspension. I hate Chrysler's customer service and Chrysler's dealership customer service. If you have a megacab, some dealers don't service anything over 1500. I'm dumping this truck. My dad has a Big Horn 1500 with 5.7 and hasn't experience any of my issues except the sunroof recall. My truck was made in Mexico. His was made in the USA. Then again, his 8 speed isn't a Chrysler made tranny. Thank you ZF. If I get another Ram, it will be 1500 regular cab. Otherwise Ford, Toyota, or GMC.

Wow my 2014 does much better than that. I get about 16-17 on the interstate going 75-80 mph. I get 19-20 on the highway going 60-65 mph. And I get about 11 in town. These numbers are a little worse in the winter.
