Sounds pretty good to me. My 05 gets that average around here. Best I ever did was on my big trip last July and got 18 mpg once but mainly stayed around 17 mpg, but that was all highway cruise speeds.

Nice rig.Mostly simply stuff so far. Couple of lamps out, so I'm swapping most to LEDs. Trailer connector has some rotten wires, so I'll be replacing that. Pulled the rear seats out since I'll never need them. Might consider selling. Swapping headlight assemblies for crystal style instead of cleaning the hazing and yellowing. All four side door courtesy lights and both license plate lights had issues, so they'll be replaced with aftermarket LED units.
Issues I'm seeking advice on.
Clear coat is bad in a couple of places on the hood and roof. Looking for options to deal with that.
Headliner is falling in a few places, but generally clean and intact. Need ideas on dealing with that before it gets torn.
Blower isn't right. Seems to only work on High, but may be running, just too slow on lower speeds. Resistor?
Rear A/C. There's a hand written note on the firewall saying the rear AC has been blocked. No idea why. Did they have problems with leaking?
Rear Barn Doors. Is there really no way to open them from the inside? I climbed in and close them to check on something and had to go out the side door. Is there a retrofit handle?
Driver door is drooping just a bit. Opens, closes and latches/locks fine and window works. Hoping it can be shimmed.
Only one remote and it works, but buttons are trashed. Have new ones ordered, but will need to figure out how to program. Got spoiled on the door mounted keypad on my Fords. With that was available on this.
One button on the 4WD control is damaged. Will check salvage for one before ordering.
Grille is cracked in a couple of places. Salvage say they have a couple for $50, but I might be able to JB the one I have.
Cruise control doesn't work. Fuse? Something else simple? Not something I'll use much, so don't want to go to much expense.
Not sure what else I'll find.
This is just sort of a punch list. I may open threads in more specific topic areas later.
Intermittent ABS light like that typically means a sensor problem. Could also be connection problems at harness and/or module. If was a tone ring or gap problem, IMO, that would be a more constant thing.Started out to town today. ABS light came on. It's done that before, but went out a short time later. Today, it stayed on for quite a while. Owner's Manual didn't seem to make it a huge issue '' you'll have brakes, but won't have anti-lock " which doesn't matter on clean, dry, warm roads. Light went out after a few miles.
So, what causes it to come on? Manual does not say. Is something going bad? During wheel rotation a couple of weeks back, the front pads looked OK, probably 50% or so. They did not pull the drums to check the shoes.
Check Amazon for switch, rear ac most likely had a seal leak. Mine cost about 600.00 to fix. Driver door needs new pins.Mostly simply stuff so far. Couple of lamps out, so I'm swapping most to LEDs.
