I've posted this pic before. Never got around to discussing what kind of mileage you'd get with that sort of rig.

I'm going to guess about 8-10 mpg. I couldn't guess why though.

Anyone that spends that kind of money on a truck should not be concerned about mileage...

Depends. With a gas motor, you'd be hurtin'. With a diesel, if you turned up the power a bit, advanced the timing, and had some more efficient injectors built, you'd probably be getting the same (or close to) as it did stock. Of course, if you didn't have it hiked way up in the air and advanced the timing and did the injectors, you'd probably get 4 mpg over stock.

I can't think of any practical use for a piece of equipment like that.

When I was a kid, I liked that kind of stuff. Not sure if it was a "more power" thing or a "chick magnet" thing. At this point in my life, I question the wisdom of my earlier thinking...

Those tires have about the WORST rolling resistance known to man, equaling an arab supporting MPG capacity on the truck..figure about one family per wheel, and you have got it. :shock: It will go OVER anything, but around nothing but an old Donkey pulling a wagon full of cow poop....

Only use I see is for picking up redneck women cause you literally would have to pick them up to get them in the thing. And I guess it would draining the oil simpler.
I don't know about you guys,but we sure had a bunch of fun in big lifted trucks back in the day.Most of us grew up a little and sold them to the next group of young dumb kids,but I still like to look at them.The last guy I had that worked for me before I sold the fence company had a 79 ford on 44's that could almost out run my old power stroke.Both trucks were a long way from a stock motor,but he only got about 2.5-3 mpg.He had a 100 gallon L tank in the bed just so he could get around w/out running out of gas,an L tank aslo makes a nice place to sit and drink beer.

Pickin up redneck girls was alot of fun,other girls didn't mind them either.I only had mine about six mounths.I sold it and bought a real nice black 93 F-350 diesel with a flat bed and started hauling cows.I thought it was the coolest truck around,but the girls didn't.
Playing in the mud,drinking beer in the back at tractor pulls(on the L tank,I still have the tank and use it for it's intended purpose),running over small cars with vegitarians inside(Well I made that one up,but it was fun knowing you could).You didn't do stuff like that huh.O well

I don't know for sure, but I'd say she has 15-20 years before she starts to fall apart.
