Youtuber with 25+MPG for a 4x4 V6? Do shells help?

I think this was my 4th tank? Mostly around town driving with a healthy dose of lead foot.

 

What tires are you running, and is it stock suspension? Looks nice, my ARE MX arrives next months. 4 month from time of order. Longer than the truck took.

 

As are 98.723% of the rest of the 'influencer' crowd.

Don't get me wrong. There is some useful stuff on YouTube. Used it two days ago to help with pump removal from an old pressure washer.

I'm speaking of the influencer crowd. Ones trying to just make a buck on hits mostly from saying stupid stuff like this one.

 

No shit I get 25-26 mpg driving 50 mph ( 80 km) which is the speed limit up here on cruise everyday on the highways. No big hurry I get there lol.

 

Goodyear UltraTerrain 265/75/16. All stock suspension. I'm currently looking for an upgrade though. Nothing too extreme, maybe a 2 inch lift. So far, Old Man Emu, Icon, and Fox are the front runners. We'll see what the shops in AK can get their hands on and how long it'll take for the order to arrive. That'll have a lot to do with my decision making.

 

Best i've seen on a 150 mile trip was just about 24. I kept it 65 mph or under the entire trip.

 

Don’t like my driving? You wouldn’t believe my parking!

 

I can do better, I have an ARE MX shell, Prinsu rack, RTT, steel sliders and full steel skids, rear shelving and decks, E-rated BFG’s, and I got 24.7 MPG over 270 miles going 75mph in D in my AT OR with the AC blasting on full.



I know, it’s Friday but what’s shown is true…. Just filled up to 3/4 tank and went down a 4-mile 6% grade before this pic, it was the highest MPG for my truck ever, it’s rare now to even go much higher than half that since joining stupid TW!

 

Last tank of 5K mile trip that I averaged 21.5 at 75-80 mph, this tank was from Gallop NM to Phoenix pretty much down hill but the rest of the trip wasn’t……..
