Hello all,
I have a 98 Dak Sport V6 right now, i am looking into a V8 00 Dak Quadcab 4.7L. I was wondering what kind of miles per gallon does this v8 get? This will be my deciding factor i do believe. Thanks and keep up the posts.

It will be about the same as your V6 once it gets broken in.

Well, I have the 00 qc 4x4 5.9 and I am getting 10.8 in the city when I drive like a bankrobber everywhere. If I take it easy, I can see 11.8 or even 12.2 avg.
On the highway, I am seeing 15-16mpg with the tailgate up and I saw 18mpg on my last short trip with the gate down. A tonneau cover is in the works.
I think the 5.9 is a better choice as it just lumbers around town and the gibson catback made a great difference in both power and fuel. The truck just feels so smooth and strong that I think it should last forever.
Just my $0.02 but I think the 5.9 is a better choice.

Hi,I agree with you aggie97,if your going to get a V8 go with the 5.9.I have a 2001 QC 4.7 4x4 that I'm trading on a new 2002 QC 5.9.After I got my 4.7 I wished I went the 5.9 just a better motor to me for around $600 extra,plus if your going to get a new one might as well go all the way options.Me 01 truck got smacked in the front end by a 97 camaro,he came from other side of interstate and hit us headon.My Dakota ate half of the Camaro.I must say the Dakota did very well with the accident,but man the repair was $16,000.Well I have to stop writing because I can go on for days with this story.The only good thing is this time I ordered the 5.9.Laters Brian
