you cant maintain steady state speed in 8th on stock gears and 35’s uphill, for one. If you claim otherwise, please put it on video. As always, Im happy to be proven wrong.Bought it new. Has 8000 miles on it now. Have every tank/mpg fill record. It has only gotten 17-18 mpg's.. It has a lift with crap on it now ( since 3500 miles ) still gets 17-18 mpg's.
I use a tazer mini to correct the speedo. Still 17-18 mpg's.
Started with the last 2 fill up's with using the manual mode shifter, once at speed pushing it to stay 1500rpm and has boosted the mpg's 20-20.5 mpg's. Nothing else was done. I still drive the same way, until I'm up to speed then manual shift ( hold the trans in 7th or 8th .)
I live with nothing but hilly area. from 400 feet to 3,200 feet. my property run's 80 feet in height change.....
Either way, You’re still getting worse on 35’s than I do on 37’s -with 400lb of cargo- and i just drive Without having to deal with speed decel and manually running the gears for the whole drive, which kinda sounds annoying.
Just tell me what method you use so I can replicate it, and we’ll see how much higher I get in comparison.
