2003 V8 questions

[jrowe6]

hey guys, im lookin at a 2003 V8 eddie. i had a few questions.

1: its 4x4, but i dont know if thats real 4x4 or awd? it says touch button 4x4.

2: what kind of gas mileage are you guys seeing?

It has 4 hi, 4 lo, and normal mode is 4 auto, meaning when the front wheels detect slip it applies power to the front.

MPG I am getting is 19 hwy, 14 around town, that is with larger than stock tires.

the V8's generally see about a 1-2 mpg drop compared to the V6's...

that being said thats not a bad compromise for the major power difference...

I've been averaging 13.9 mpg with a mix of city/highway with an '03 V8... but it has the tow package with the 3.73 gears, which might make it a bit worse than those with the 3.55...
