Roman just took delivery of our brand new, long-term 2021 Ram TRX. Sporting a 702 horsepower supercharged V8, the truck promises huge fun (with a hefty price tag), but what sort of fuel economy can it manage on a 1,300-mile road trip from Detroit to our home base in Colorado? Let's find out!

It's a truck it's lifted so it isn't very aerodynamic. I remember a time I had to run my brother to San Antonio and I was driving an 09 Pontiac G8 GT that was bolt-ons with custom dyno tune. From Brookshire, TX to the Luling Buc-ee's in under an hour the computer said my avg speed was 95 and 21mpg. I have a ZR2 now and I leveled the front-end to put 33" tires on it, I went from 18mpg to 15-16mpg. So yeah he'll get better after the engine wears in a bit but probably only 1 or 2mpg. But do we really care when you hear that whine from under the hood?

But if he didn't include some footage of himself romping on it then people in the comment section would be complaining about that too and stepping on it for a few seconds twice in 241 miles isn't going to make that big of a difference to the overall trip MPG. When he begins to talk about how fast he was going he shows a still shot of himself going 70 mph so I'm guessing that's what he set his cruise to during the 99% of the trip that the camera wasn't on.

I just drove from Tahoe to SF and back in my Raptor. The trip back involved going from sea level to 7000+ feet and being stuck in a LOT of traffic. Even so I did the whole 400 mile trip with about 16 MPG, zero gas stops and a quarter tank left at the end. The TRX is a badass muscle truck and will smoke the Raptor in a drag race, possibly on an offroad circuit race and has a nicer interior. But in terms of usability as a road tripper, camping rig and DD..... I think this test is confirming about what I thought when it was announced. I doubt I'll 'upgrade'.

Remember fuel economy in any vehicle that drives in the winter when temperatures are cold ,will go down .cold air means dense(heavier) and requires more fuel to compensate the burn. In the summer is the opposite. I’m pretty sure all the economy fuel test are done in the warmer climate and controlled wind tunnels. Maybe Roman you should do the same road trip back to Dearborn Michigan from Boulder Colorado and get the summer fuel mileage

The only one that got good fuel economy was the 6.7, which I would expect from a modern diesel. Chrysler v8's aren't exactly known for getting good gas mileage, neither were the old 5.9 Cummins diesel straight sixes. All of them got around 15 mpg. The 6.7 got around 25 mpg. I never experienced the thing that you described with getting better gas mileage after breaking in.
