Looking for a guesstimation

What kind of miles per gallon would one expect from a truck like this would you reckon?..I've had a love affair with this type of machine for years,...I know totally impractical and I'm much too old to be looking sad and foolish in one of these ,lol....BUT SOME DAY IF I WIN THE LOTTO ..blah blah blah blah blah 

nice trucks bud.....i would imagine 20 ish if you were just posing around....it's not that heavy, single cab swb......if you drove it like you stole it probably 8 ish......lol

my wife's dodge ram 5.7 v8 crew cab did clock up 22 mpg on a run....but they go more on how many litres per 100 km's as a reading on fuel millage....

our motorhome was 38ft and had a 6.8 v10 which did around 10 ish but if you had some hills to climb it went down....it took £400 to fill it up.....lol

I've got an old truck with a single cab....7.3 v8 diesel which does around 24 ish which isn't a lot for a diesel....but it does sound good....lol and when your sitting in it and blip the throttle the whole truck rocks....lol

over here people don't seem to worry about mpg as we do in the uk....they buy a motor for a purpose whether it's got a big engine or not, for example...if they have a 38ft fifth wheel trailer that weighs 9-10-12 ton loaded they need a 3/4-1 ton truck with an 8 ft bed to tow it....so they buy a truck that will do the job, a big v8 engine or straight six without asking how many miles will they get to the gallon......plus fuel here is a lot cheaper than there but if the fuel prices was to shoot up maybe it would change the out look a bit, your average Toyota's Navarra's and Isuzu's just wouldn't hold up to the continuous weight......
