They updated everything I heard people piss and moan about. I wish they still offered the Cummins in the XD, but nobody bought it. Nice truck and review!
I bought it. And I love it. NISSAN just didn't play the numbers game with the XD like the big 3 do. Wonderful truck, tows up to its rated limits with ease. Better at its "limits" than any other truck I have ever towed with. Less squat and more stable feel than any others.
@@mechcam796 early model transmissions shifted really hard. Thing is if you've ever driven a medium duty truck like a freightliner FL60 or FL70 they shift the same, as soon as you hit second gear it locks up the torque converter and it remains locked up and down the gear range. On the rough side when empty but you'll appreciate it when towing or hauling. Pretty much every XD I see is a Cummins here in West Tx. Nissan just did a piss poor job marketing it and rushed it into production. Should have brought the half ton out first and took time tonwork out the shift logic in the transmission. This truck uses the same Aisin transmission Ram uses in their high output Cummins 6.7, and Ram owners also complained as well. I love mine. I also think its seriously under rated because I loaded 1500lbs of salt gel in my xd and 1500lbs in our F250 and the Ford squatted way more. The ass end was sitting way low, the XD just leveled out. In fact, with my bed cover you couldn't tell the nissan was hauling anything. Brakes are also very strong too. I think the only limiting factor is the semi floating axles. Thing is it squats less but still rides better than an F250. While some F150s may be rated to tow just as much and even haul more, they will squat down alot more hauling, and towing the XD is alot more stable because it weighs 7,000+lbs, so the trailer doesnt move this truck around as much. So with the XD having a 3/4 ton frame and pretty much everything else except the semi floating axle, you wouldn't wear it out towing 10,000lbs on the regular, where with a half ton, it would wear out alot quicker. So the fact it tows like a 3/4 ton but rides alot better makes it a perfect fit for what I need. I've had my XD for almost 3 years and 50,000 miles and no issues. I del3ted at 30k so I'm sure that helps as well.
@@mechcam796 The only issue I have had was a turbo speed sensor failure at around 10k miles. Replaced under warranty. No issues since then. Not deleted, not tuned, 100% stock. All services performed at the recommended intervals at the dealership where it was bought. The transmission does shift a little hard. I haven't driven a HD truck that doesn't. I have yet to drive the 2020 F-series super duty with the 10 speed though. Every Allison or Aisin equipped truck I have driven shifts hard with no load. When you have a heavy load on or behind the truck, it feels much better.
Good review. Love all your reviews. I just bought my first ever Nissan product on Labor Day - 2020 Titan Pro 4X white in color. I am amazed and impressed in this truck. Nissan did an amazing job with it. The interior is fabulous. The ride is smooth and commanding. It handles bumps and rough spots like a champ. The Fender audio system is amazing. Flat out stomps the Bose system I had in my Blazer. I'm glad I got rid of the '19 Blazer for this truck. It's absolutely amazing.
I bought my 2018 Titan XD Pro4X for $39,000, a substantial discount off MSRP of $53,000. If you are looking at a new truck, I encourage anyone to look at the Titan. Dealerships are discounting heavily to compete with Big 3 and Toyota. Additional bonus: 5 year/100,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty. You will be surprised how well the Titan performs for the price. Best bang for the buck in the truck segment.
I just drove my 18 Titan from Northern Wisconsin to eastern Washington a trip of about 1500 miles towing a 2400lb boat. My average mpg for the entire trip was 17.2mpg. I've had the Truck almost 2 years and have only been to the dealer for oil changes and tire rotations.
Excuse my bad English folks. I purchase a brand new Titan sv 2017. At 17000 kilometres, the engine begin knocking. At 24000 kilometres, in June 2019, Nissan replace my motor (short block). Now this month at 35000 kilometres my motor knocking again. It is always the cylinder number 7 who is problematic. Real epidemic trouble. In my small town we are 3/3 with this trouble. On Facebook pages, I’ve seen A LOT of cases, I see guys who are on third motor on 2018 model. Also see people with this problem on 2019 model (Titan, armada.) Nissan seems to don’t have a clue about this problem. The 7 speed transmission on 16-19’ model doesn’t works well too, and seems to be change very often . Long story short, run for your life, you can see a video of my titan knocking on my profile. I swear to god, I don’t beat the truck at all really light works sometimes.
One of the best trucks out right now! I rented one for a few days for long road trip and I was very pleased with the power and how it drove.if you in the market don’t over look the Titan

Dave C. Nobody’s know, with the time pass, will know. I see a guy who have his motor change January 2020... it’s knocking again. It’s a big gamble. I trade in my Titan for a Tundra.
@@chrisludwig9783 I bought a new titan in '21 and have about 28k on it right now. I'm doing synthetic oil changes every 5k. So far so good. I really like the truck! A comparably equipped tundra is $10k more and they had a bunch of recalls. Not problem free trucks at all.
I have a Tundra XP which i use to trailer my boat around. Here in Florida boat ramps get slippery and the truck's 4x4 feature is useful. In fact, it is always good practice to use the truck's 4x4 whenever launching and retrieving your boat. Cheers..
@@lrakselbor4702 the only bad choice is buying one you actually cant afford. Although the F-150 is having problems with their 10 speed transmission right now. Class action lawsuit maybe happening soon.
@@tshearn624 This is not true. The 10 speed has been a fantastic transmission. I own one. There were a few select issues in very early models, but that’s about it.
@@Calebflying2025 it is true. Ford just settled a class action lawsuit on the ten speed transmissions in their F-150. I personally know 4 people who got paid.
@@tshearn624 4 people lol. They had issues early on in 2017, and some select models. Overall, It has been a reliable, and greet transmission. GM uses it also, but with different programming. Do you own one?
Great review Andre! I will say launching boats in NC I've never needed 4WD to get off the ramp loaded or unloaded. Granted, I launch ski boats that don't need to be stuck in the water very far so my rear tires rarely touch water.
Hey guys, can you please mention in your next review of this truck that Nissan really needs to put a center head restraint in the rear seat on theses Titans? This is the only truck in the segment that’s missing this important feature. Thanks and love what you guys are doing. Keep the videos coming!
I am the second owner of 15 Pro 4X with 114k miles and still running great. I pull a 24” Yamaha 242 like nothing. Titans are overlooked but I can live with that. So I can buy my next used Titan way cheaper than the competition.
Nothing wrong with the last model year, just have to lean into it. I've found the issue wasn't the truck, it was me being afraid to give it a little balls. And boy does she deliver!
Went through the Eisenhower tunnel yesterday on a cross-country trip from NJ to So Cal. The exit and downhill on the west side looked strangely familiar - and steep. After experiencing it (but in a 2017 Cruze hatchback), it's a great test for your towing rigs.
agree with your value statement of the Titan...especially for the used market like I buy in. You can get about a 2-3 year Pro 4X Titan for $25K. Sucks for the original owner, but awesome for me...meanwhile a 3 year old Tundra is going for $35-40K still.
Perhaps the Tundra is a way better truck in quality. My brother in law told me that his coworker has a new Titan and at 15 000 kms it needed a new engine. That is not to 💩hot.
@@mikefoehr235 Sounds like he bought a lemon lol. Titan has the best warranty . Not the best Truck, but in no way is it unreliable, or a POS like you claim.
@@Calebflying2025 Well, have an update....this same Titan is now on engine number 4, last time I talked to my brother in-law. I AM NOT exaggerating...I have asked my brother in-law several times and apparently a 4th engine under warranty. No wonder Nissan stopped selling Titans in Canada.
@@Calebflying2025 One RUclipsr told me that Nissan has bad cats and leads to multiple engine fails in the 5.6 V8. I cannot verify this claim but is what i told. Several have told me that many have had a second engine under warranty
If your talking reliability I would give that to the Frontier. I own 18 Titan. Good truck but not as good as the Frontier. Those trucks are bullet proof.
"Big tow" mirrors should be standard affair, not a oversized car mirror. Having owned three new Titans, the only drawback with the truck was it never passed on the opportunity to stop at a gas station. Otherwise, the power train was powerful and bullet proof. Great trucks that never received their credit due.
I agree. Why can't they just put 30+ gallon tank? is't really that hard to build it? It would just make this truck almost perfect/ more comparable to Tundra's 38 gallon tank. It could be a deal breaker to buyers.
Transmission acts better it tows legal safe weight for a half ton very well and safely but best of all the seats and audio are amazing but safety feature everyone over looks is the headlights have a dial switch to lower ur headlights when towing which helps not blind oncoming drivers with squat lift and also puts lights back on the road for better distance seen
Nice color,...I'm patiently waiting for the all new Frontier,..but I wonder about the news/rumors I hear about Nissan's financial condition too. We'll see!
Crazy story about an ex-Special Forces guy and his son hiding the CEO/CFO in a cello case and smuggling him out of Japan to Beirut Lebanon to avoid corruption charges...so yeah their are some issues Nissan needs to work out
Thanks for your review. I really liked my last Titan. Maybe I’ll get another. But Andre, what sort of Russian are you complaining the water is too cold!
When will ike gauntlet videos return? Hard to compare the MPG when the driving you did seemed vastly different with your trip in the 18. Didn’t the last trip in the 18 include mtn climbs etc? I’m sure the 9 speed will be better overall but it wasn’t apples to apples, and I know it can’t always be. I just hauled my Mustang on a trailer on a 1000 mile round trip from GA to FLA and back and got 13 MPG pulling it with my 13 Titan. Total trailer and car weight was also 6000 lbs. Mostly hwy cruising at 70 mph. Cruise control for some of the trip.
How about the drag race with the big 3 with this truck? The older style did pretty well in last race would like to see it agian with the updated Hp and gear ratios!
The Titan is by far the most solid tower. The others have higher numbers, but don't tow the weight safely. The Titan undershoots the numbers . It can tow the limit weight with ease. Most people are loyal to their brands. If they would actually give the Titan a look and drive, especially towing something ....they would jump ship and go with the Titan. No doubt.
That is a little better than I expected. The Titan really isn’t a bad truck, but Nissan’s pricing structure SUCKS so much that I couldn’t consider one.
ya i want one, its just which trim level to get. v8 power, 9speed, awesome stereo, grab handles on the side and top. Big center consul with USB ports front and back. Do i need a HD?
in my opinion, it doesn't seem to be a comparable test. first one you went 800 miles, this trip you on went to like 40 miles. the first one you fill up with only regular. This one you filled up with premium fuel. My opinion need to be tested the same as the first one and see the difference.
I have a 2012 Nissan Sentra S with over 200,000 miles on it. Never had an issue with the original CVT. I changed the fluid every 60,000 miles as required in the owner’s manual. Nissan is capable to be reliable as Toyota and Honda. You haters should learn how to read a manual and drive a car properly and you won’t have any problems long term.
I regularly tow a 10,000lb boat with my 2015 chevy 2500HD with the 6.0 gas, I almost never put my truck in 4wd when pulling out of the water, i have never spun out in 2wd tho.
It will disengage when it comes to a complete stop then if you touch the gas to go it will engage again but it will stay engaged and work as long as you don’t come to a complete stop.
Wow, that mpg still seems really low! Wouldn’t the Cummins Diesel engine in the old Titan gotten a bit better? I like the looks of the truck, but not the wheels - great review as always!
On your first trip with the 2018 Titan, you also had your family and all of your gear in the bed for an extended trip....so you had a few extra pounds in the bed of that truck. You need to put some camping gear in the back to truly see how much better it does.
Andre, where was this lake? I’m in Denver too, looking for a drivable lake destination for the fam. Like Powell is so fun but too far for the kids at the moment.
Best looking truck on the market, but for 60k USD should come with a no cost diesel option with one of their superb diesels they use in other international markets, thats crazy money
They look nice, but they can't compete with a Ram or an F-150. Outdated technology and it's a Nissan so you don't even know if they will survive the next ten years.
@@Bru946 that's fine. I like the Titan, I mean it's a good looking truck. But it gets 12 mpg if your lucky. My ex has a 2012 pro 4x in white it's a beautiful truck great power but holy crap 12 mpg is bad. I just picked up a 2018 F-150 Platinum for 45% off the $80,000 MSRP with adaptive cruise, 360 cam, massaging seats, ventilated seats, trailer backup assist, parallel parks itself, full led headlights and taillights, 4 doors for more whores all the best options ya know
Great vid👍interesting the 9 speed transmission does better especially running 91 octane, wonder how it go here in Australia on 98 octane? I wish Nissan adopt same badging n features of Titan for Navara or frontier.
Does the new 2020 Titan have a cooling fan for the ac? I noticed my 2017 Titan doesn’t have one and it doesn’t make sense because at idle the ac will start to blow warmer the longer you don’t move.
I have a question, so how does the truck know the difference between higher and lower octane gas 😤? Is there a sensor or something that can differentiate between the two?
Can you guys give us more detail in your information. For example you always quote HP and torque ratings but never mention @ what RPMs. Another example is the new transmission on the pickup you mentioned that it's a new nine speed but what brand ZF, Allison? See what I mean. Thank you I love your channel.
Did you use tow mode and get that MPG? Getting ready to tow mine to the keys from Tampa (pretty flat) so I’m trying to decide whether or not to use tow mode.
Just wait until you see the new redesigned Titan. It looks more "American" than the old version. Plus, the retro inspired Z is gonna be cool although I wish the proce would have been more competitive against the Mustang.
Was previous test also with same boat and trailer? Cause the boat have less aerodynamic drag than your average box trailer that could contribute to mpg gain.

I agree. Why can't they just put 30+ gallon tank? is't really that hard to build it? It would just make this truck almost perfect/ more comparable to Tundra's 38 gallon tank. It could be a deal breaker to buyers.
My first gen Titan can make it a week on fill ups. I drive close to 70 miles round-trip to work and back 6 days a week.
It's crazy to see 85, 87, and 91 octane where ever you are. Here in Mississippi, most stations have 87, 89, and 93 octane.
Here in NY it is 87, 90 and 91. It seems 93 is every 3rd or so station.
All Gas Titans sound "fantastic" at the exhaust end !
Yeah.... another good reason to buy a titan or QX80.
Transmission acts better it tows legal safe weight for a half ton very well and safely but best of all the seats and audio are amazing but safety feature everyone over looks is the headlights have a dial switch to lower ur headlights when towing which helps not blind oncoming drivers with squat lift and also puts lights back on the road for better distance seen
Awesome video! Love Andre and TFL!!
Love the tow subject! Nothing like a giant scaffolding to pull through the wind!
Nice color,...I'm patiently waiting for the all new Frontier,..but I wonder about the news/rumors I hear about Nissan's financial condition too. We'll see!
Crazy story about an ex-Special Forces guy and his son hiding the CEO/CFO in a cello case and smuggling him out of Japan to Beirut Lebanon to avoid corruption charges...so yeah their are some issues Nissan needs to work out
@@robertpowers1045 i heard that they set up carlos and they're saying that carlos isn't really the "bad" guy
@@robertpowers1045 Are you on crack?
Love your videos Andre. Keep up the good work.
Horsetooth! Just did a hike there today and will be back to camp in June!
Titan is awesome. I really like the new pro 4x
Really impressed with the mpg, I was waiting for the “Return of the Cummins” but with that mpg, reliability and smoother trans, would be an option 👍🏼
Thanks for your review. I really liked my last Titan. Maybe I’ll get another. But Andre, what sort of Russian are you complaining the water is too cold!
There is no cold water, it's just sometimes there is not enough vodka.
@@unitedwestand56 Russians always have vodka. Heck, they had it at Stalingrad.
Beautiful boat Andrew! Nice Truck/Boat combination.
Hope you guys can do a titan xd as well. Curious to see what the nine speed does with a heavier truck
Another cool video by Andre!
Thank you for sharing m8. Vacation 2020 cancelled. Looking forward to 2021 :-)
I have an 09 Titan just took trip with it loaded down with A/C equipment to Virginia from Indiana got 17mpg.
Bull****
When will ike gauntlet videos return?
Hard to compare the MPG when the driving you did seemed vastly different with your trip in the 18. Didn’t the last trip in the 18 include mtn climbs etc? I’m sure the 9 speed will be better overall but it wasn’t apples to apples, and I know it can’t always be.
I just hauled my Mustang on a trailer on a 1000 mile round trip from GA to FLA and back and got 13 MPG pulling it with my 13 Titan. Total trailer and car weight was also 6000 lbs. Mostly hwy cruising at 70 mph. Cruise control for some of the trip.
I got a 13 Titan as well. Love the first Gen Titans.
Would like to see the same drive on 87
How about the drag race with the big 3 with this truck? The older style did pretty well in last race would like to see it agian with the updated Hp and gear ratios!
More titan videos!
In Arizona all the boat ramps have grooves in it so no need for 4x4 to pull out. We have people with 2 wheel drive cars pulling boats to the lake
Best part is, is that you can get this exact loaded truck for around 49k-50 all day long.
Please provide a link..The dealership near me is asking $61,000...That's the starting point.
Great video and a great education. Thanks for sharing.
Love my titan so far! Nissan just needs to get better marketing out there for it as you can’t beat the top 3 if you’re not showing people you exist.
Incentives, and other engine options, towing are the big issues.
Thanks for another fun video. Good stuff
The Titan is by far the most solid tower. The others have higher numbers, but don't tow the weight safely. The Titan undershoots the numbers . It can tow the limit weight with ease. Most people are loyal to their brands. If they would actually give the Titan a look and drive, especially towing something ....they would jump ship and go with the Titan. No doubt.
That is a little better than I expected. The Titan really isn’t a bad truck, but Nissan’s pricing structure SUCKS so much that I couldn’t consider one.
dannie curlett And you’d be sorely wrong on both points. If you can’t find an F-150 for less than $50K, you’re not looking.
I used to trailer my 19' Bayliner with a Windstar to ocean (bay) ramps that got pretty slimy. Never had an issue.
ya i want one, its just which trim level to get. v8 power, 9speed, awesome stereo, grab handles on the side and top. Big center consul with USB ports front and back. Do i need a HD?
I think y'all should do boat reviews too, in addition to RV/camper reviews.
RV's yes, reviewing their towing, mpg, comfort lvl, but none of the other stuff..
I look forward to trading in my '19 for this one at some point. Love the red!
in my opinion, it doesn't seem to be a comparable test. first one you went 800 miles, this trip you on went to like 40 miles. the first one you fill up with only regular. This one you filled up with premium fuel. My opinion need to be tested the same as the first one and see the difference.
Did Nissan give you this truck in red on purpose? TFL red is always good 😄
Great video! Could have combined it with "Boat Launches Gone Bad" 😁
I have a 2012 Nissan Sentra S with over 200,000 miles on it. Never had an issue with the original CVT. I changed the fluid every 60,000 miles as required in the owner’s manual. Nissan is capable to be reliable as Toyota and Honda. You haters should learn how to read a manual and drive a car properly and you won’t have any problems long term.
I regularly tow a 10,000lb boat with my 2015 chevy 2500HD with the 6.0 gas, I almost never put my truck in 4wd when pulling out of the water, i have never spun out in 2wd tho.
Andre, let's have a review of your boat and the engine.
Does the adaptive cruise control go down to 0mph and have stop-and-go like the f150? Or does it turn off at 25 mph like the tundra?
25 is as low as it goes
It will disengage when it comes to a complete stop then if you touch the gas to go it will engage again but it will stay engaged and work as long as you don’t come to a complete stop.
My 2016 altima comes to a complete stop on its own so I bet that a 2020 will come 2 a stop.
Nice review.
that farmers tan in on point.
Nice Tige! One of my favorite boats!
Just watched his other trip the other day, seems like a decent lil truck
Is it over kill to used a torsion gen y hitch to tow a boat such as this. Looking to tow a wakesurf boat. Will the water be an issue for the bands?
Wow, that mpg still seems really low! Wouldn’t the Cummins Diesel engine in the old Titan gotten a bit better? I like the looks of the truck, but not the wheels - great review as always!
It should, but when they tested both of them there wasn’t much difference!
No, the old 5.0L Cummins got atrocious fuel mileage and was a slug unless deleted and aftermarket tuned. Hence why it got discontinued.
On your first trip with the 2018 Titan, you also had your family and all of your gear in the bed for an extended trip....so you had a few extra pounds in the bed of that truck. You need to put some camping gear in the back to truly see how much better it does.
Loving the updates Titan. I just wish the Pro4x had a front bench seat.. got 4 girls and a wife I need the space for :)
Get the armada
Andre, where was this lake? I’m in Denver too, looking for a drivable lake destination for the fam. Like Powell is so fun but too far for the kids at the moment.
Horsetooth Reservior in Fort Collins
Jake Brown Thank You!!! That’s easy. Didn’t know it was so nice!
Best looking truck on the market, but for 60k USD should come with a no cost diesel option with one of their superb diesels they use in other international markets, thats crazy money
My 2018 f150 2.7 ecoboost only gets about 10 to 10.5 mpg towing my pontoon boat at highway speeds
Pontoon boats aren't exactly aerodynamic
I really like these. If toyota wasnt making the tundra this would be the truck. They are sharp.
They look nice, but they can't compete with a Ram or an F-150. Outdated technology and it's a Nissan so you don't even know if they will survive the next ten years.
jedinachos I can’t speak for the new titans but my old 2005 is still kicking at 324k miles!
My first gen Titan I would put up against anything in the reliability department. I do love that 2020 Titan though.
@@Bru946 that's fine. I like the Titan, I mean it's a good looking truck. But it gets 12 mpg if your lucky. My ex has a 2012 pro 4x in white it's a beautiful truck great power but holy crap 12 mpg is bad. I just picked up a 2018 F-150 Platinum for 45% off the $80,000 MSRP with adaptive cruise, 360 cam, massaging seats, ventilated seats, trailer backup assist, parallel parks itself, full led headlights and taillights, 4 doors for more whores all the best options ya know
jedinachos Oh yeah I've been through a LOT of tanks of gas with my 2005 haha.
Great vid👍interesting the 9 speed transmission does better especially running 91 octane, wonder how it go here in Australia on 98 octane? I wish Nissan adopt same badging n features of Titan for Navara or frontier.
in US we use a diffrent octane rating, basicly your 98 is like our 91-93
That red match that Titan real nice. Nice value truck, but no more Nissan for me.
Does the new 2020 Titan have a cooling fan for the ac? I noticed my 2017 Titan doesn’t have one and it doesn’t make sense because at idle the ac will start to blow warmer the longer you don’t move.
I would like to see a 0 -60 and a drag race
What for ? It’s a work truck
What lake was this? I was just in Colorado and it looks familiar
I have a question, so how does the truck know the difference between higher and lower octane gas 😤? Is there a sensor or something that can differentiate between the two?
yes, the computer can adjust the timing
With 87 octane vs 91 octane would that 11.6 be better or worse? Up ways etc...
Kind of wish Andre would have used the same fuel octane as the last attempt, but still interesting.
Can you guys give us more detail in your information. For example you always quote HP and torque ratings but never mention @ what RPMs. Another example is the new transmission on the pickup you mentioned that it's a new nine speed but what brand ZF, Allison? See what I mean.
Thank you
I love your channel.
jetco transmission, the same company that makes CVTs for Nissan
Tammie Andrzejczuk *Jatco but the point still stands lol
Which truck has the best interior? Comfortable seats? Need to know before a trade up. ..
Titans have the best seats on the market. The rest is all up to you. Go give them all a test drive and you will see the difference in the seats.
Ram has the best interior by a mile right now. But I think the 2021 F-150 will be very close.
They still make those things???
Did you use tow mode and get that MPG? Getting ready to tow mine to the keys from Tampa (pretty flat) so I’m trying to decide whether or not to use tow mode.
This and the GTR are the best products Nissan has to offer currently.
Just wait until you see the new redesigned Titan. It looks more "American" than the old version. Plus, the retro inspired Z is gonna be cool although I wish the proce would have been more competitive against the Mustang.
Why aren't your safety chains crossed?
you guys havnt made a video on the Bronco video on the Ford website yet?
how about a review with the current new engines using non ethanol vs normal gas? biodiesel vs diesel?
Would you prefer the titan or the tundra Andre?
Was previous test also with same boat and trailer? Cause the boat have less aerodynamic drag than your average box trailer that could contribute to mpg gain.
Excuse my bad English folks. I purchase a brand new Titan sv 2017. At 17000 kilometres, the engine begin knocking. At 24000 kilometres, in June 2019, Nissan replace my motor (short block). Now this month at 35000 kilometres my motor knocking again. It is always the cylinder number 7 who is problematic. Real epidemic trouble. In my small town we are 3/3 with this trouble. On Facebook pages, I’ve seen A LOT of cases, I see guys who are on third motor on 2018 model. Also see people with this problem on 2019 model (Titan, armada.) Nissan seems to don’t have a clue about this problem. The 7 speed transmission on 16-19’ model doesn’t works well too, and seems to be change very often . Long story short, run for your life, you can see a video of my titan knocking on my profile. I swear to god, I don’t beat the truck at all really light works sometimes.
Andre, you got .9 mpg better. An extra 23.4 miles out of a full tank. That's significant?
Look at the highway mph. He looked to be going75-85..thats a bit fast towing a boat.
