Hey Everyone I was wondering if anyone had any gas mileage #'s off of the new 07 Vortec Max trucks with the 267 HP 6.0L. Gm is saying 19 MPG, but I find that hard to believe. Anyone had any experience with these yet?

 

[Sambo]

I dunno about the 07's but mine gets anywhere from 13-14.5 in town and a best of 16.5 highway that was with 285's I have since went back down to 265's but I havent checked it lately.

slow down to about 65 on the highway and you'll get a lot better mileage. i can get 16-17 with my HD

 

[Sambo]

That was going 65 at night.

Anybody else with an '07 able to let us know of an unbiased mpg? thanks

What would regearing cost you? I know just to do my 2wd it cost me like $500 well worth it though. My mpg went from 12.4 to 14.9

quit bitching. you have a brand new 40K$ truck and dropped another what, 3K$ plus into lift and tires and wheels? another 1000$ to make the truck much more friendly to drive is a fucking drop in the bucket and WELL worth it. you have to pay to play :read: :read:

My future father-in-law has one and he gets around 18 highway. He is an electrician and works out of his truck so he has a lot of weight in tools he carries all the time. He would easily get 19 like GM states if he took the tools out.

I agree, gears get you performance, less strain on engine/tranny, better mpg.

What more can you ask for. Gears shouldve been my #1 mod in my stang
