Just looking for the right Titan to purchase. Have it narrowed down, but unsure how the lower gears of the Big Tow Package and the Off Road will effect gas mileage. There is an 18% increase in RPM's with the lower gear. Does this effect gas mileage or is it not noticeable? Thanks in advance.

i've got the tow pkg (and offroad pkg) and my mpg's are in-line with what others have said. i don't think there is a difference.

Well I think it would have to have "some" negative effect, prolly not much tho. See this link http://www.nissantitan.info/forum_posts.asp?TID=817&PN=2

I agree, the difference is minimal. It comes down to personal preference.

It will probably be a while before you can accurately check the mileage because you will have your right foot in it. I have 12000 on mine and I still love to hear it.
