The 3.21 gear ratio is the best for fuel economy. the government makes RAM rate all their engine and gear ratio combinations and this is the best one. I have a cab height cap on the truck. Lowering may be an option. All I've been able to find is a 2"front/4"rear lowering kit which I think is too much but I'm considering it. I will not be cutting coils on my brand new truck.

And I don't tow(at all) or haul anything too heavy so that isn't an issue.

I'd trade it for a RCLB 5.2L Dakota and work from there. Just the reduced drag would give at least 5 MPG.
This is ridiculous... I don't even know where to begin lol.

Still no mpg numbers worth reporting, I've just been doing stop and go and errands. My wife got a Mazda 3 with the unlimited mileage warranty for 5 years in December so we take that everywhere.
