It says driver side mounted but picture shows other (thanks for picture though). 2. How heavy, does it affect gas mileage?

the hinge on my Dee Zee is on the inside of the pickup box when I mounted it on the drivers side behind the wheel well that way you can open it when standing on the ground. It is very light and a little flimsy and will not effect your mileage

Your drivers side is the left side of the vehicle. *Unless you live in Europe then it would be your right side. ;)

I ordered the plate with install from Jeep so I cannot help u. Suggest that you ask a rep from Blue ox. Can tell u that I have towed 10,000 miles without a hitch. No pun intended. Tim

The only way it's a little heavy is to put it on and off. Does not affect the performance of my Toyota Tacoma or Toyota FJ cruiser. It comesbin handy often.

My gas mileage definitely improved. More power and torque as wellI'm in canada so we measure in litres/100km. I went from 17-18 litres/100km down to 13-14 litres/100km. About 20-25% fuel savings. Biggest difference is in city driving and towing. They're are a lot of different models, make sure to get the right one for your tuck

Yes, you will use a little more gas but it all depends on how heavy your foot is. I find that it has more pickup so I can usually keep my foot off the accelerator so the trade off of power to mileage is not that bad.

Yes, it sticks out further and lower compared to stock. I'd say it's for a street look, not so much for off roading.

For my '95 Ford Explorer, this is driver side only. The passenger side is a two-piece assembly that adjusts for alignment . Just replacing the ball joint part (Moog K8710T) of the passenger side was much easier and my bushings looked fine anyway.

I would say unloaded the impact is negligible however the howl that they make will convince you to not have them on your car unloaded. If you have something like a couple of 2 x 4's strapped on top the effect on mileage is negligible. A car top carrier though will cause the mileage to be lower, but I don't have experience to be able to quantify the amount, maybe 5 to 10% would be an estimate. I can't help it but just have to say "your mileage may vary", depending on what you put up there.

yes it will and yes it has to have a down load I love it the extra power that I have is great gas is better depends on your driving though

Yes it mounts to the driver side but you will need to do some switching around which is shown in the installation instructions.

For the passenger side it does but the driver's side it stays on the gas pedal

I dont know but I know that the upper gear roll off is much more crisp. No issue- possibly a subtle change. I do know my gas useag hasnt changed significantly

I had it mounted on my dash very close to the assembly seam closest to the frontal dash face that the HVAC and other electronic controls reside . heavy duty double stick tape secures the unit I had it hard wired beneath the base and between the assembly seam. No drilling for either. The vehicled is a 4 wheel drive Lexus 470 that is driven offroad 10% of the time on fairly rough terrain . The device is stable enough to maintain continuous directional accuracy even with the offroad dynamics. Very clean assembly with the hard wiring that is alway prepared to illuminate once the ignition is fired . I hope that my description will fit your application . I was a bit fortunate that my preferred location from the drivers seat dove tailed at a point on the dash that prevented me from drilling any holes. Good luck from Texas.

Yes, Danielle, it's spring loaded, with a number of mounting options. I keep it on it's side.Hope this helps.Michael

I put one on my 2013 JGC about a year ago. I have noticed a small increase in gas mileage. I drive 50/50 highway and city. I get about 18 mpg. When I get a BG Fuel treatment with my oil change it bumps it another mpg to about 19 mpg. I drive about 30 -50 miles a day on the interstate (4 days a week) and 15 miles a day in the city (7 days a week).

The conection on this item are incorrect for any gas,it would leak out the side and be very dangerous. Gas is not something that has a flimsy connection.
