Is there that much of a different in real world economy between these? Im debating on if i want to pull the trigger on a 37 package at my local dealership for msrp Ill be upgrading from a 2019 Ram rebel which to be fair gets me currently like 13mpg with 40% local and 60% high way driving LOL anything better than that i think ill be happy.

I cannot speak to the Gen 3, but I can speak to real world MPGs going from the 35 to a 37. I have a 2012 (I know, but the same at all) with 4.10 gearing. 35s netted me low 14s combined (70% freeway, 30% city) and 37s net me high 12s combined, same driving mix. I would say yes, you will see a decrease in MPGs with larger tire option.

Per the Ford specs, looks like you lose 1 mpg overall with the 37 package, about the same as I lost in the real world going from 35s to 37s.

Couple threads on this already. Search the forums. There is a 2-3mpg loss from the 35 to 37. You won't see anything above 14/15mpg if you are lucky even with mostly highway driving with the 37's. 16-18 with the 35's.

Reviving an older thread, but my 37pp is averaging 16.5. And I’ve seen it at 17.1. Mixed highway and city.

My 37 package is getting the same mileage as my get 2 right about 14-14.5 but she is still breaking in at only 700 miles. All mountai driving so I’d say you could get 17 on the highway. Gen 2 was on 35’s.

Not what I am seeing in my truck. They are actually really close in my use case.

I have noticed a bit of a performance boost and MPG boost past 1000 miles on my gen 3. Initially i could barely crack 14 on a 35 model.

You are one of the only people I can think of that seems to be getting this mpg. I need to start driving downhill everywhere.
Don’t know what to tell you. I drive 75 on the highway. I’m consistently getting 590-594 miles per tank. And I’m an MedEvac pilot in Upstate NY for work, so it’s definitely not downhill.
