New 2025 2025 ZR2 Bison

[ripzip]

Hello all, New to the whole HD and Diesel thing, after having a 2018 1500 LTZ with the 6.2. Bought a trailer and only being able to go around 180 miles on a tank was brutal on long trips. Hopefully this thing will stretch it out to 300 miles.

You should be able to get 300+ miles on a tank, depending on trailer and driving conditions. Your mileage will improve after the first 1500-2000 miles. I can get 16.5+ mpg daily driving no trailer. Towing mileage is relatively poor for me when towing heavy. I have seen 8.5-9.0 mpg max when towing over 10k lbs. Sometimes I can break 10 mpg in ideal conditions. The truck sits big, weighs 9k lbs and has no aero, so that's what you get.

Yes my trailer fully loaded probably weighs 10K. First trip is going to Montana in July. Should be a good test.

What room were you in...I was there too! Just throw a couple of lights in the grill and buzz straight through red lights

Yep, not sure why but my previous diesels that were lifted would get 11 mpg towing and about the same not towing. One was running about 500 HP and the other was only about 425 HP.
