I get 8.3 mpg while towing I. My 21 AT4 1500 5.3.
I had a 2020 ram 1500 and got around 10. That's why I switched to the diesel. I also have the elevation and a 195 so it is a (somewhat) lighter truck and boat than your AT4/222SE

I switched from using the escalade to a ram 2500 diesel for towing. 20 mpg all day now.

21’ RAM 1500 eTorque, 92k Daily driver on 24s in Summer, average 15. When towing the 195 or anything honestly I get less than 10. Love the truck and the ride but hemi’s are terrible for mileage.

Had an 16’ Denali ultimate with 6.2 and did much better. Wish I didn’t have electrical problems or I’d still have it.

First pic I ever took, the day we bought. Excited for next season for all the beautiful opportunities for better pics haha. 😂
 
You definitely knew it was back there, but it worked just fine for our needs. Can't wait til next season. :cool:
One heck of a way to cruise for sure💪🏼 Hopefully not traveling too far?

Unless it has to go back to the dealer for any warranty work, its 10 miles from storage barn to the lake .👍

Buying the Jeep GC was a mistake, thankfully all under warranty but $15,000 in major repairs and I will finally admit it’s not a good tow vehicle. I drove it very lightly when towing, but the front axles, the driveshaft, the transfer case, all ended up being replaced under warranty.

Now I no longer have to worry about being right at the weight limit.

I was part of a lot of forums, defending unibody SUVs with the “ but it’s rated for” and it did not drive awful when towing, but they’re just not designed to do that every weekend and it will absolutely destroy it or at least it did in my case. So if you’re on the fence, go with the pick up truck and you won’t regret it.
