I still don't get the Hybrid advantage?

They do seem to break the same way with the pivot at the cab and bed frame connection.

I was able to find an article on it: https://www.carscoops.com/2022/12/a...ram-3500-dually-in-half-to-the-tune-of-17000/

It looks like the camper could have gone over the payload in this case. I think it was the 2 e-bikes on the back that were the tipping point

 

And here is some great PR from Ford: https://tfltruck.com/2021/05/ask-tf...-my-trucks-payload-by-487-pounds-why-is-that/

I wonder if Toyota will do the same and send out a recall to reduce our payload by 487lbs?? It will be like owning a Taco

or go the other way and give us a new sticker adding 487 lbs.

 

What mpg are you getting in the city?

I got non hybrid and getting 11-13mpg city and 17-21mpg highway depending how fast I drive.

 

I haven't really checked as I do mostly towing with the truck. I am pulling a small trailer ~2500 lbs around to few job sites. Then when camping we are pulling the Airstream. I have 5,600 kms on the truck or about 3500 miles so not too much history.

One thing I noticed the other day, I took the truck to get some concrete pavers (1,600 lbs worth) in the little trailer. I started off with an estimated range of 314 kms. The round trip was about 10 kms. Now my guessometer is telling me that I have 140kms left?

Did I use a third of a tank going 10 kms?

I certainly wasn't driving like I stole it! Those little red warnings represent all the travels I put on the truck.

If I took this as accurate I would be getting about 6 miles / 10 gallons. Maybe my fuel line has failed

 

Ok, what does your truck show as mpg on display? I find it to be very accurate

 

I will have to check that next time I fire the beast up. I think the combined average is (since I got the truck) ~20L/100kms which puts me at 11.7 mpg.

Seems about right with the effects of the trailer and city driving.

I did notice it drop to about 12L/100 kms on a recent highway trip which would put me just under 20 mpg. Not too bad and that is with the larger heavy tires and a bit more for the tire circumference increase which is about 4%.

 

Looks like I'm at the bottom of the barrel and only can hual 1 skid of Gray Poupon.

 

This weighs about 4 lbs.

You should be able to carry something like this in your grocery getter! You might have to leave the golf clubs at home

 

Lol,I could never figure it out,hitting a ball with a crooked stick and chasing after it.
Just fishing here my man!
