Default new arrival blu flame, magnetic

ordered mar 6, arrived apr 17. to get started I did autospring 2" level, (and no, no rubbing), nitto terra grappler g2's 286/65/20 and linex. it has 2.7 eco, xlt 302a. this is the 5th truck in 20 yrs the dee zee tool box has been on, I just had it painted to match the magnetic metallic two tone. before putting on the box, tools, etc, it was about a half in higher in back than front, now it's barely lower in the rear, so I think i'll raise the rear just a bit. also have a dee zee bed mat, protects the linex, plus keeps stuff from sliding around. still need to order some husky floor mats. so far averaging 17.5 mpg, city hwy mixed driving. oh, also it's 3.55, and rear end looks good, no rust to be found. door gaps etc, pretty good.

That was my other color choice. I ended up with Race Red Sport so the grill is blacked out.

Love it. I just got the crew cab version. I have the 3.5 ecoboost. Same 302a package. I got the kicker sound system.

So you are getting 13.4L/100km on 34.5" tires with the 2.7 in mixed driving?

My 11 ecosboost barely gets that highway on 33" tires. Bravo, Ford. Bravo.

I should have been more clear about the miles per gallon, 300 miles so far half of those were on the original tires. I didn't do anything for calibration because I've driven by two of those signs by the side of the road that tell you what's your speed is and they were both only 1 mile per hour off from what my truck said.

great looking crew cab you have there! I almost got that with the six and a half foot bed but I didn't because the extra $3000. Plus for my needs the SuperCab does pretty good.
