I say 14.5 no faster since I think traction will be a problem. I also think there engine managment will be fierce

I think the gas milage claim is going to be twice what they get. Weight, horse power and massive front end going to kill it on the freeway. Also 5000lbs with 236hp 266tq base motor is going to drink gas too.

My ECSB 2wd weighed 4880 with my 200lb. *** in it. I wonder why their reg. cab. weighs 120lbs more than that??? I know they've got a big 6spd. auto, and a huge rear in them, but the motor is prob. all aluminum isn't it??
