My Nomad weighs in at 4023 lbs. I get no difference in towing that or the '32. Best I've ever gotten is 11.2 MPG. etc :

Hey Greg, around here the pstrokes aren't the favorite option. It's mainly Cummins or Dmax. Mine is only a 3/4 ton and not a dually but the weights are very similar though I have 3:73s. Add in the smarty jr and the 6spd and I'm pretty optimized though I'm also pushing 4x4 which I wouldn't give up. My Pontiac is 3720 plus full 5ft tall loaded tool chest, floor jack, winch, etc but is probably a little lighter as it isn't totally "finished" but I do have it loaded down. I'm guessing that the loaded trailer for this coming weekend will be around 9000lbs. I can't make the rig get less than 15 no matter what. That's on cruise, loaded, through west Virginia hills at 65-75mph. I don't know of any pstrokes that can say that, and I do know that some dmaxes are faster. They can really be hot rods.
