The only thing I can think of is the 6-speed transmission. I don't think you can squeeze better mileage than you're getting out of the 4-speed. Replies to this message: farout (Jun 22, 2009 10:00 am)

L engine gives the extra hp needed to blend in better that the 4 speed 3.5 L. The pick-up is far better than most V-8 engines. The 4,L is the 3.5 engine that has been updated. This engine is far better than the 4,7 in the Dakota trusk. So what you are experiencing is as it should be. This is the most comfortable vehicle we have ever driven. The PAC is Chryslers best kept secrect. farout
