2015 Actual MPG
#131
3.5 Ecoboost King Ranch 2" lift and 285/65/20 KO2's installed since delivery. Averaging 10.1 MPG mostly city driving, pretty shocked. Wondering if I need to take it back to the dealer and have them take a look.

Not sure what the dealer will do, but doesn't hurt.

Which is best
Which is best for gas mileage? Running in normal mode or tow/hall or sport mode? I would think normal probably is but I haven't had the truck long enough to test. I have the 3.5 EB.

Just got back from my first road trip with truck listed in my signature. Approximately 750 miles, 600 highway driving at 71-75 mph and about 150 mixed city driving. Overall average of 19.4 mpg on on dash and hand calculated at 18.3. I just went over 1,000 miles. So far I'm pretty happy with that.

on the highway if I am using the cruise control, I will turn on tow/haul because it will delay the downshift on hills etc. so it stays in high gear longer and it also keeps the torque converter locked up longer as well. it seems to have helped on my mileage on highway trips so I dont see why it wouldnt do the same on the newer trucks.
around town I would say leave it in normal because tow/haul delays upshifting so youre gonna hitting higher RPM before the shift and thus be using more fuel.
