What's your GX MPG? (2 Viewers)

Good one! I am getting roughly 15mpg right now after adding a Dobinson suspension lift with 285/75/17 KO2s. I’ll update after a proper check.

what would be helpful is if everyone popped down to their local scales and weighed their rigs. While gear ratio and tire size and speed are big factors- weight should be factored in for anyone driving anything other than dead flat zero elevation highway,

The weight info per axle is also incredibly helpful when selecting suspension/springs and shock valving.

Seems like it would be helpful to track the weights of aftermarket equipment in the new thread so we can calculate/approximate our adjusted rolling weights. Particularly the aftermarket equipment that is >50 lbs.

I am curious what the weight difference is when changing from air suspension to coil suspension.

On my trips to Lake Tahoe from So. Cal I always get better fuel MPG on the way home by at least several miles per gallon.
I think it's because I'm heading South... Downward.

Just did a small 400 mile road trip over Christmas and averaged 22.3 mpg on the expressway doing 70 mph. Everything in stock until next week when I get the KO2’s on.

2019, 255/70/18's (32's), no lift, roof rack or bumpers. We see 16 in town and 17-17.5 on the highway. Worst I have seen was 15 on a trip south into some very strong head winds. I can live with those numbers, but sadly I bet it drops a few MPG's with the addition of a rack and lift and should we bump to 285's in the future I bet we'd be looking at 12-13 at best.

Mine is a 2020 with 2" Dobinson lift and 275/65/18 BFG KO2's and I'm averaging 15.8 mixed driving.

My mileage just dropped to 17-19 with 265 70 17 KO2’s

I got 19.5 mpg on 265 70 17 BFG KO2’s running 70-75 mph on the expressway on a road trip.

When I divided the gallons used vs actual miles I got 19.9. How accurate is everyone’s display screens?

I find that the computer is usually within 0.50 mpg's of my hand calculated numbers on both the GX and the LX. I can live with that.

*update

We've had the 285/70/17's and 2.5" lift on for a month now and I am consistently seeing 14.8-15.2 mpg in town and 15.2-16.2 mpg on the highway. I'll admit that is better than I expected and more than acceptable by my standards lol.

This is about what I'm getting roughly. Similar set up.
