With my 99 24 Valve, the last time I hand calculated I was around 24MPG Highway. I have the automatic, only had the XZT+ at the time and was on #1 Fuel.

I just got back from a 628 mile round trip to the mountains and back. 23.5 mpg calculated, 23 mpg on the overhead comp.

I get about 19 empty, 14 pulling 3K, and 10-12 pulling about 7K. I find that can vary considerably with speed

I think the cabs are about the same size. The quads are just easier to get in and out of and get gear in and out of.
