When I pulled a flat with my w900 I got around 5.8 to 6.0..475 turned up to a 550 13 speed 3.55 rears and tall 24.5 rubber....it had a few tweaks done to it and would pull to 2400 rpm (e model cat) and rarely fussed about anything I put behind it....I started doing hhg and it dropped to about 5.4 mpg runnong less than 70k lbs the majority of the time due to the wind resistance..but I agree the best truck is the one you pay no expenses for
