Sounds much like my K2500, which also has 4.10s. It struggles to get 14 MPG empty, but yet manages about 12.5 MPG with 7000 lbs or so behind it. Low gears may suck when unladen, but they sure are nice when towing or hauling.

Evil Turbo SS

I chose the TB SS over the GC SRT8.

1. I didnt want AWD. Im in Texas (Houston) dont need it. Its beter on gas as well.

2. I can get a LS SS with cloth. I have 4 dogs to lug around. While leather might be easyer to wipe clean. It doesnt last long with a 160 pound plus dog err... moose

3. More room inside. For the dogs, small furniture, and fun.

4. I tow a Camaro. Its a better truck to tow with. I would rather have a true truck than a unibody car/truck thing.

5. Better aftermarket. If i wanted to I could build a 500 CID, FI, LSX based motor for it. I wont go that far but H/C, bolt ons and a blower for sure. Not to mention BMR makes suspention for better (road) handling.

6. To me it is the better looking truck.

Yes out of the box the Jeep is a little faster. (Some RWD TBSS's have gone 13.50s or better) With just a few simple mods you can kill a SRT-8. They also seem to be much more limited in the tune than the Jeep. I dont think the aftermarket will ever catch the LSX for the hemi. It was the better selection for me.
