Our Owner Operators IFTA reports have averaged 10 mpg for many years now. The 2005 Dodge that I use to have , Cummings 2wd with 4:10 rear end gear ratio average 14 mpg. Wish I would've kept that truck. Bought a new one in 2015, 4wd, 3.73's and under a load it averages 10 mpg. I rarely go over 60 mph here in California. I wanted 4.10's but couldn't find any near where I'm based. The next truck will have them.
We pull 3 axle Lowboys, 40' of deck space, and our loads weigh anywhere from 4,000 lbs upto 15,500 lbs. -
A 2wd pickup only has 1 ring & pinion that would have to be changed. You could buy the gearset you want along with all of the other items necessary for under a grand and do the swap in your driveway in a couple hours. Hell, add a locker or limited slip diff for a couple hundred more (if your diffs are currently open) while you're in there for the extra traction since it IS only a 2wd truck. Absolutely no reason to NOT have the specs you want when they are that easy to fix.
