New to the CTD club...

I have had Dodge trucks for nearly 15 years and finally have grown up and bought a 2005 - 3500 DRW crew.... only have 4000 miles now and have been SURPRISED at the mileage....20MPG highway!.... my 2003 1500 with the 360 only got 16 hwy..... cant wait till the beast loosens up!

I have had other diesels though... still have 1985 Bolens compact tractor and 1983 MB 300D

Welcome to the DTR site.

Glad to have you with us.

You're seeing pretty good milage for a new truck.
You must be a very careful driver.

Hang around this power-hungry bunch long enough and that'll change........
