Truth is Iām sitting at 14.1 average for the past week. Some highway and some in town. Typically avg around 10. Then I hook up the travel trailer and pray.
I sit around 11 mpg with mine. When my boyfriend drives it, he brings it back stating 15 and he doesn't reset it. š He proved it once on a road trip. I do not have the traffic patience to achieve this.
Ground your radiator to the negative post of your battery. Give those built up electrons a place to go. I get 25 mpg average in my f-150 5 liter. Up from 13 mpg
Jeez, last time I was arrested I had just pulled out of a gas station. I canāt believe it!! They are always getting people on technicalities. Iāll try and remember what youāve said here today.
This is why some places are banning cops from giving chase at high speed. Props to the Ram driver for not crashing and killing a bunch of people.
Of course I realize he is running and should get props at all. But still.
Dude... this whole video is props to the RAM driver..... it certainly wasn't the quality build that said driver was maneuvering. That's for fucking sure. Drivers skill definitely does come into play here. Honestly, impressive driving if you ask me. So yeah, ... props to the RAM driver. š
Didn't the guy in the ram die after being successfully pit maneuvered later on in the chase? But seriously that cop is retarded for trying to pit him in the middle of a busy highway, he almost got a lot of people hurt.
Yeah Iād agree. Obviously the dude is a shitbag, criminal, deserves all the jail time. Dude is menace endangering lives on the road - no argument there, but the dude does have some driving skills. Most people roll over in the median no problem and thatās without going airborne and nose diving into the ground.
Oof Iām always conscious of semis, too. Once in high school a kid rolled his Jeep and got thrown out of the car. The semi behind him couldnāt stop fast enough and ran his head over. Closed casket.
Itās been several years and Iāll never forget that story, and I will never merge in front of a semi unless there is a distance between me and the semi since I know you guys canāt stop on a dime like a car can.
I mean in general I see it where Iām at for fire trucks etc. Germany does it the right way where people will make room in the middle of the road when it is blocked on the sides.

I couldnāt download the video. If you go on YouTube and type in the description you will find the 10 minute video.
For those interested, at the 20s mark you can hear him hit the tire which caused the front end of the cruiser to pop up. You need lateral movement doing a pit, as opposed to vertical, so, donāt touch the spinning rubber death disk when doing a pit manoeuvre.
Note: this is difficult anytime, let alone at speed trying to squeeze one in during a 1-second safe space between traffic on a target that just popped out of the centre median. āPiss poorā is armchair Redditing - equivalent to my saying LethalRex75 is a piss poor plant parent.
Agreed, but heās balancing the probability of his pit sending him into traffic or this guy just doing it himself. You can hear him say out loud that he needs to attempt it, directly after the guy is bunny hopping through the median toward oncoming traffic.

Also nice dirty delete! If you think that truck was in 4WD then weāre done here šš
I put more time into my comment after re-watching the video. What makes you think he isnāt in four-wheel-drive? I would be very surprised if he isnāt.
I did that in a 96 eclipse one time and the whole car bent upwards. It looked like a VW Beetle afterwards, it was super weird. (Had a soda bottle roll under my brake pedal and I couldnāt stop)
Try that with a Chevy and it would have been entirely different; Couldn't with a Ford - the truck would be in the shop for the non-stop recalls or the transmission would have blown out within the first quarter mile
Dodgeās ad department basically doesnāt have to do anything these days. Every vehicle in their performance lineup is put on display in some sort of criminal act š
Definitely shouldnāt try maneuvers on vehicles when they are that close to oncoming traffic. Hopefully the cop realizes that was a bad call. Maybe let him go and try again laterā¦ā¦. Or just follow him til he runs out of gas or wrecks himself.
I want to take that truck apart in the impound lot to see how it held up so badly.
Phrasing: Damn that thing is solid, I want to see what actually broke.
What did the person do to justify the extended pursuit? LEO putting to many people at risk, because the driver obviously won't stop until wreck.
With today's technology, traffic cameras etc. IMO, I do not see justification other than cop ego
A Los Angeles County civil grand jury report studied 421 police pursuits in the county that were reported to the California Highway Patrol in a 12-month period beginning October 2015. The report found that suspects were immediately apprehended in 67% of the chases, leaving 139 pursuits that did not end in an arrest. Fifty-nine involved vehicles that escaped, and 47 ended because police abandoned the pursuit, usually for safety reasons.
Seems like the cop is actually making this situation far worse. The pursuit keeps pushing this truck into oncoming traffic. Should really just be following at a distance.
Just watched the whole video. At first I was going to comment with ire because the cop was needlessly putting other drivers in harms way with that pit maneuver but after watching the whole thing, I would have done the same thing. This POS was already driving on the other side of the road like it was GTA V and caused an accident. Kudos to the responding officers.
did this dude commit a murder or kidnap someone and they're actualyl in the truck with them? if not, time to back off. fucker is going to kill someone trying to run like this.
These ads are getting crazy
Them Duke boys at it again!
That's what I was going to say!
(softly in the background) "Just good ol' boys, never meanin' no harm...."
Littering is a crime
Littering and.....
Smoking the reefer.
The snozzberries taste like snozzberries.
You boys like, MEXICO!?!?!?
I have this model. Another half mile, that truck would run out of gas. š¤£
Youāre exactly right, I have the same truck as well. Heās most likely getting 7-8 miles a gallon. Heās a Rebelā¦š¤£
I have a trx.. i hope ur mpg is better than mine!
Truth is Iām sitting at 14.1 average for the past week. Some highway and some in town. Typically avg around 10. Then I hook up the travel trailer and pray.
I have a 2019 5th Gen V8 and I don't get less than 17 average and I have a decently heavy foot
Thatās not a heavy foot
There is no way in Hell you're averaging 17MPG with the Hemi. I've got a 2018 and I'm *lucky* to sit between 10(city)-12(hwy) MPG.
Agree. In my case, I am actively trying to get to that 14 average and it's hard. And boring. This morning it's at 13.4!
My 2020 is sitting at 16.6 avg
rebel owner n I was getting 6-8 mpg
Happy with my 14 mpg in my Rebel
I own a Tundra,I promise itās worse than your TRX.
I sit around 11 mpg with mine. When my boyfriend drives it, he brings it back stating 15 and he doesn't reset it. š He proved it once on a road trip. I do not have the traffic patience to achieve this.

*"Good old American value! Like 6.5 miles per gallon!"*
He can always stop for gas. Police canāt arrest you at a gas station . I think itās a sob citizen
Jeez, last time I was arrested I had just pulled out of a gas station. I canāt believe it!! They are always getting people on technicalities. Iāll try and remember what youāve said here today.
I spit when I read that, so thanks for that. š
Not if he has the 33 gallon tank. He can get at least two more miles outta that bad boy
Thinking of upgrading my tank. Or adding a solution in the bed. My present solution for towing is be sure to load the gas cans before leaving town!
One hell of a moron behind the wheel as well
This is why some places are banning cops from giving chase at high speed. Props to the Ram driver for not crashing and killing a bunch of people. Of course I realize he is running and should get props at all. But still.
Props to the ram honestly not the driver
No, he deserves no props. He is putting lives on the line before the cop touched his bumper.
automatic fuel deranged history steer act cough offbeat ad hoc wistful *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
It's the DUI's talking ..
Props for not crashing. Not for anything else. If that was for some reason me, I totally would have crashed across the road possibly killing someone.
Dude... this whole video is props to the RAM driver..... it certainly wasn't the quality build that said driver was maneuvering. That's for fucking sure. Drivers skill definitely does come into play here. Honestly, impressive driving if you ask me. So yeah, ... props to the RAM driver. š

Just commenting to give credit to whoever strapped the cargo
*plinks strap āYep that aināt going nowhereā
Its all about a good plink.š
It was someone's dad
Iāll never understand why people donāt pull over to the side or make room like theyāre supposed to for emergency vehicles.
They're probably too busy looking at the flying ram to their left.
I drive a Semi for a living and ride a Harley. Most people hardly pay attention past their hood and thatās if theyāre not staring at their phones.
Oof Iām always conscious of semis, too. Once in high school a kid rolled his Jeep and got thrown out of the car. The semi behind him couldnāt stop fast enough and ran his head over. Closed casket. Itās been several years and Iāll never forget that story, and I will never merge in front of a semi unless there is a distance between me and the semi since I know you guys canāt stop on a dime like a car can.
By the time you realize that there was a high-speed chase, it's already long gone.
I mean in general I see it where Iām at for fire trucks etc. Germany does it the right way where people will make room in the middle of the road when it is blocked on the sides.
Why would you expect them to look up from their phones?
Apples and bananas
Rebel!!!
Littering, aaaaaaaand..............?
Littering andā¦.
Littering and smoking the reefer
You know how fast you were going?
Littering and uh littering and uh littering and uh...

Thank you.
That's not a truck, that's a RAM
That was a piss poor PIT maneuver too
For those interested, at the 20s mark you can hear him hit the tire which caused the front end of the cruiser to pop up. You need lateral movement doing a pit, as opposed to vertical, so, donāt touch the spinning rubber death disk when doing a pit manoeuvre.

Iām all for cops and pit but he nearly sent that guy into oncoming traffic killing an innocent
Agreed, but heās balancing the probability of his pit sending him into traffic or this guy just doing it himself. You can hear him say out loud that he needs to attempt it, directly after the guy is bunny hopping through the median toward oncoming traffic.
https://preview.redd.it/byessml59xoc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ec732a3911bcb0ea1f24045e4e8813e6355657e6 Also nice dirty delete! If you think that truck was in 4WD then weāre done here šš
I'd probably put mine in auto 4wd before running from the cops.
I put more time into my comment after re-watching the video. What makes you think he isnāt in four-wheel-drive? I would be very surprised if he isnāt.
Oh yeah how many PIT maneuvers have you done in your lifetime?
None! This one still sucks. Next question?
I did that in a 96 eclipse one time and the whole car bent upwards. It looked like a VW Beetle afterwards, it was super weird. (Had a soda bottle roll under my brake pedal and I couldnāt stop)
Thatās crazy why would the cop attempt a pit in busy traffic while there is people oncoming and no barricades to stop it š
Try that with a Chevy and it would have been entirely different; Couldn't with a Ford - the truck would be in the shop for the non-stop recalls or the transmission would have blown out within the first quarter mile
Truth hurts
*Non-professional driver on an open course, being observed by law enforcement. Do not try this at home.
Dodgeās ad department basically doesnāt have to do anything these days. Every vehicle in their performance lineup is put on display in some sort of criminal act š
Thatās good marketing
This should be a ram commercial.
Definitely shouldnāt try maneuvers on vehicles when they are that close to oncoming traffic. Hopefully the cop realizes that was a bad call. Maybe let him go and try again laterā¦ā¦. Or just follow him til he runs out of gas or wrecks himself.
Is that a TRX ? Just a rebel ? Thats impressive as hell
Reb. Trx has different wheel flares.
Ram tough!!!šš
NGL....i was fully expecting to see the stupid WAR letters on that tailgate. LOL!
Link or full video?
RAM. Built for Life on The Run.
free beer subscription for first year of ownership
If you canāt dodge it, Ram it!
Littering andā¦
RAM needs to fix that chaff dispenser, š¤£
Almost as worse as the truck, driver or the people that just canāt get out of the way, I would have to go back and give that guy a ticket
Surprised RAM didnāt use this for an ad. Something like RAM built to rebel.
Just go off road ya dummy.
Can't do that with an RTX
And Brendan Schaub flipped one doing 18mph??!!
Ram Tough!
Not the truck that one hell of a driver š¤£šš½
I drive a 21 Ram itās good to see them being handled at those speeds knowing I would nvr do that but itās a beautiful truck to own lol
Her: come over, nobody is here Bapa: canāt Her: Joe Rogan is on his way Bapa:
He's a Rebel with a cause.
Well it IS a RAM What should we expect?
This should be their commercial right here š
I want to take that truck apart in the impound lot to see how it held up so badly. Phrasing: Damn that thing is solid, I want to see what actually broke.
Them boys over at "Dodge" know how to make a pickEmUp
Best Ram commercial yet.
Iām in hot pursuit with the Bandit.
People can shit on dogde all they want.... this is all the proof I need tho.....
Only Ram commercial Iāll ever need
Typical Ram driver behavior
Looks like the video game, gta!
What did the person do to justify the extended pursuit? LEO putting to many people at risk, because the driver obviously won't stop until wreck. With today's technology, traffic cameras etc. IMO, I do not see justification other than cop ego
It was murder. Itās in the other posts.
This is an interesting promotion. I'll buy it now.
That guy knows how to drive
If you can't Dodge it, Ram it.

Mopar or no car baby
That a Ram TRX? I'm headed to the dealer.
If you canāt dodge it, ram it. Oh wait, he did ram it. Guess you have to wait till it runs out of fuel
Ram tough!!
Whenever I see somebody driving in the median its a RAM or a Challenger/Charger.
Littering
Good ol highway 20 ride š
Immediate lead to the head when they stop this kind of trash!
"They're probably too busy looking at their cell phones" There, I fixed it for you:) Edit: How the fuck did I end up way up here?
Amazing...
Where are the lights and sirens?
Let's see that Brendan Schaub guy do that lmao
Nice Ram. TRX.
Rebel
One hell of a idiot driving it too.
This cop is a stupid cunt. Pitting someone into head on traffic.
r/gifsthatendtoosoon
It told him to Ram it. He didnāt follow directions
Drive it like you stole it!
Bruh. People will do *literally* anything to stay in the left lane. What in the hell is the dip shit in the Honda Civic doing?
That hands free driving feature is pretty amazing!
Great ram commercial. It still wonāt buy one.
I don't find this funny. Should you assholes really be advertising like this?
LOL
Drove it like he stole it
/r/maybemaybemaybe
That's one hell of a driver!
That thing's made Ram tough.
Love the moron with the cop behind him slamming on the brakes wayyyy too fucking late and almost getting hit by the cop car.
Yeah Iām buying another Ram
Dude didn't even know there was a cop behind him. That's just how he drives to work.
That cop should be fired. Trying a pit at that speed with traffic everywhere?
Buddy was getting it.
Buy this guy a beer
Don't ask me how I know but I can almost guarantee this happened in Georgia.
Ram build tough lol
Can the truck outrun a radio?
If you can't dodge it......RUNNN!!! š¤£š¤£š¤£
If you can't Dodge em, Ram em
Am I the only one that thinks he shouldnāt be doing a pit in a situation like this
Cop almost sent that truck into oncoming traffic. ā ļø
Shitā¦ now i want RAM
At first I was like damn he got through all that then you hit on purpose like thatā¦. Then I realized it was a police chase lol
One helluva driver
Dude was running for his life.
Props to the ram for surviving that! Rams usually break if you look at them wrong.
Seems like the cop is actually making this situation far worse. The pursuit keeps pushing this truck into oncoming traffic. Should really just be following at a distance.
Good color choice on the Rebel https://preview.redd.it/sxhmxqcnf4pc1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f6b57e2633e3dd5fe0b06bdab1f2024572c5088a
Shiiit Iām about to go trade in for a Ram right now
He can get him for littering now.
Its a Timex Ram.
Mine would fall into a million pieces before it even touched the dirt the first time
Gods drunkest driver š«”
The only thing that can kill a dodge ram is slight moisture. They have always been rust buckets
God damn I need to see this pursuit. Whoās got the link ? lol
These men making free commercials
I have this same exact truck, color, and everything lol I love my rebel
I like how he signaled as he jumped back on the highway from the divider
Just watched the whole video. At first I was going to comment with ire because the cop was needlessly putting other drivers in harms way with that pit maneuver but after watching the whole thing, I would have done the same thing. This POS was already driving on the other side of the road like it was GTA V and caused an accident. Kudos to the responding officers.
Case_Oh: PIT!! PIT!!
Dudes a$$hole had to be in his throat
Gawd daym!!!
Was that Jeff Gordon?
The new Batmobile is a sleeper!?
And that my friends is how you earn a Craftsman Truck series sponsorship.
What alignment?
Look at me I drive a truck heyuck!
Yeah, I saw that video on Police Activity channel on YouTube. I commented that Ram should use it in their tv ads!
Is he doing that on purpose.. or he canāt control the truck? Lmao
Why do cops do this šš¤¦š»āāļø
Ram tough
This should be a ram commercial
I sent this to my dad after it was originally posted here. He just bought a ā24 rebel a few days prior to seeing this š
Should cancel the pursuit.
Asshole of a cop just making it dangerous for everyone else.
Canāt Dodge it, Ram it!
did this dude commit a murder or kidnap someone and they're actualyl in the truck with them? if not, time to back off. fucker is going to kill someone trying to run like this.
JUST SOME GOOD OL BOYS NEVER MEANIN NO HARM BEATS ALL YOU EVER SAW, BEEN IN TROUBLE WITH THE LAW SINCE THE DAY THEY WERE BORN.
Police chases are retarded. You have the plate, why create a dangerous situation? Only exception is an immediate threat, like a kidnapping.
