Love it every time you make this mini series, the laughter and experience you guys are sharing are just golden. Thank you for all your hard work 🤗

[@C10sRule]

You guys really nailed it on the stance and tires on that Ram!! It’s such a nice truck. Aluminum trailers are the best if you have the budget.

[@davidmcelfresh3024]

I like that you usually stop in Fruita for fuel. Keeps us on the map!

This doesn't have too be the end of the series. There's still the ranch and a mileage loop and the sale of the jeeps. Oh and a race!

[@bostondan77]

Always entertaining and for us non-truckers, interesting to see these real-world numbers.

[@9663mu]

Absolutely loved the impromptu roll race 😂😂😂

[@jamesanderson2176]

With the high diesel prices recently, people ask me why I drive a BMW 335d, rather than the 335i. First, I get a consistent 31 mpg combined, 36 on a trip, vs low-to-mid 20's for the gas version. Second, my fuel is actually CHEAPER, because the 335i requires PREMIUM. I'll gladly stick with that and my 7.3 Powerstroke.

[@WAACKK]

Love them going at each other in the truck, hilarious!😂Absolutely love the channel, can’t wait for the next vid

great series!!! Do more please

[@christopherrubay3918]

One thing you are thinking about is diesel foams up a lot when filling. When fill my diesel truck up I fill it all the way to the top. You can do that with diesels

[@ababbit7461]

My old 1983 GMC 2500 with the 4 spd manual and the 6.2 ltr diesel is rated at 8,500 towing capacity. It might be slower than a snake in Greenland during the winter, but it gets 22 mpg all day long. If you are not worried about how slow you go, an old 6.2 ltr naturally aspired diesel just might do the trick with high diesel prices... BTW, when people pass me up a long grade giving me the #1 sign, I just give them the thumbs up in acknowledgement.... I like when people appreciate my slow, steady driving style in that old diesel truck...

[@jstitan2972]

Seeing those gas prices made a tear come out.......hell gas over $5.00 a gallon where im at. Would love to see under $4.00 a gallon!!

[@wannabeangler]

2 mpg better in diesel with less overall cost! Factor that into the cost of the diesel engine would take how many trips to where it's truly beneficial. Don't forget about maintenance. Towing & reliability goes to the diesel. Winner winner chicken dinner! OOPS! Chicken wasn't the right thing to say, I see Nathan salivating!😂😂

Ha! This was great. Thank you. I can’t believe how inexpensive fuel is there. It’s $5.19 here in California for Regular Unleaded.

[@leecowell8165]

Lol. I paid $2.99 in Ohio today.

[@Queensizemusic]

@@MCgrease08 that’s great. I’m glad you guys have more reasonable prices. But living in California is worth the Xtra dough.

@@leecowell8165 true. It’s taxes, but I’m more than willing pay them considering all we receive in return.

I just started watching... And I have already at 11:52 lmao The Rap-R can't even keep up with a regular gas truck... how would it keep up with a D? Because it is a 2500? 🤣

[@jasonmargraf8151]

[@cavscout678]

Must be nice. That’s the price of regular unleaded at my Sinclair in rural WA.

[@kotter1792]

9.5 was surprising. Towing my camper with my 3.5 ecoboost is similar. It is a bigger sail but im not lifted and have stock tires to.

[@codycoquat5953]

This may be more interesting than the cheap jeep videos 😂

[@hitchedtohorsepower]

I filled up my 09 Silverado 3500 with a 62 gallon Titan tank the other day at a Royal Farms in Maryland. The first swipe with a Discover card let me pump $125. Normally I can do two swipes per card but not three but this time it told me to come inside. I used my AmEx and it cut off at $99! I was less than a dollar from being completely full so it was annoying that it cut me there. I travel a lot with diesel pickups that have tanks between 48 and 135 gallons. I've had stations that cut off at $75, $100, $125, $150, and unlimited but I think this was the first $99.

[@63Imp283]

125 not 99

[@Queensizemusic]

Why would AmEx cut you off at just $100?

[@hitchedtohorsepower]

@Queensizemusic I have no idea. I don't use that card a lot for fuel but it normally cuts at the same as any of my other cards.. You would think diesel pumps would at least give you $150 per swipe given that most diesel drivers have HD pickups with stock tank sizes between 34 and 50. As far as diesels I have a VW Sportwagen TDI that's about $50 to fill up at current prices, my Grand Cherokee Ecodiesel is a little over $100, F-450 at $200ish, and my 09 Silverado with the aftermarket tank is $250 to $270.

[@Car-crazy]

That is why I have the 2.8L D Land Cruiser. Especially as diesel is considerably more cheaper than petrol here. And if I decide to buy the new 250 series LC I would go diesel and not hybrid. The hybrid will almost certainly cost more than the diesel to buy to start with, and with petrol costing a lot more per litre, the diesel is going to be cheaper from the start and into the future, especially once the batteries start to lose there efficiency, which they will. And you can't beat diesel power for towing and long distance cruising.

[@affanden-it5uk]

wow goooooooooooood

[@roguedogx]

0:43 interesting question. I'm thinking it's the diesel. Because the aerodynamic drag should be pretty close, the weight shouldn't make much of a difference, and the diesel is just that much more efficient on the highway. Let's see how wrong I am!

[@roguedogx]

1:34 "for those of you playing along at home" yep that's me! Lol Give it's a mere 1000 lbs difference, I stand by my pervious assessment. Especially with the more "aerodynamic jeep" out front. Alright. I've doubled down, so I'm gonna be way off. Lol

[@matthewjacobs1164]

You should test an electric truck pulling one of those trailers and going on that trip. Oh wait it would never make the distance. Actually that would be a good test to see how much less distance you get towing lighter then heavy with an electric truck.

[@arnoudjanschut]

Funny that the diesel is green and the gasoline is black. In the Netherlands it is the other way around (but he pump colors are not consistant in Europe)

[@richfarfugnuven6308]

Ford for desert running, Cummins for towing. Me for dessert eating...

I'd love it if you guys bought three junk cars and road tripped them. You always seem to just buy a truck or SUV, and then take it over some hills. A long distance drive with some challenges would be way more interesting

[@JonBecker81]

$3.45 for 93 at my Costco yesterday.

[@Spoolingturbski]

This comparison was purely to show why having a diesel while towing is always the way to go.

[@tres311]

If you tow anything regularly, especially if you live in the Rockies, you need to buy a diesel. I’ll take a Cummins or Duramax over everything

[@kc0lif]

most vehicles now have fuel injection mileage is a non issue.

[@PhillyDee215]

Superchargers are better than turbos. When I got out the Military I drove two of my cars across country both same year and model but one was Supercharged and the other wasn't. The Supercharged one actually averaged better fuel MPG the entire time

[@Austin-cg7be]

it depends on a lot of variables. Typically thats not the case. But I have seen it. Turbos are typically better because they dont always have to produce any boost where as a supercharger is really always doing something and it pulls the engine down a bit. But depending on the vehicle the engine in question and some other little things its possible

[@PhillyDee215]

@@Austin-cg7be yeah I'm just a supercharger fan but I know turbos are more efficient and use less energy. They also make more power. But when I made that trip across country (I've drove across country at least 6x 🤣) i really wanted to see which car would average better fuel economy and I wasn't surprised that the supercharger did better. They're pretty efficient as long as you stay out of the boost lol
