I have a brand new 2010 Harley Davidson F150. When I first got the truck the computer stated that it gets 8.6 mpg as I have driven the truck for 300 miles it reads 12.0 miles to gallon. About what can I expect to get from the truck I order a tunneau cover today so after i install it next week what can i expect.

It takes a while Bigdog, but the MPG should go up as everything breaks in. Mine started at 9 and is now at 14 after 2500 miles. I am hoping it will go even higher than that, but it is a truck after all.

at 9000 miles i was getting 17.4 mpg but then i leveled it put new wheels (heavier) and bigger tires on it and now im getting 15 but this is what it looks like and its worth it

o also im at 12000 now so it went down fast.

Thanks for the info Whalersailor18, must admit when i picked up the truck last saturday I was like 8.4 mpg i wont even make it home before it runs out but I have noticed that everyday it goes up which is a plus? Do you have a tunneau cover on your truck and if so did it make a difference?

Yeah Busbyjay I wondered if the factory 22 inch rims made a big difference which they shouldnt I had a expedition before I got the harley and it had 20 inch rims on it same engine and it got like 15 when i first got it it was at 12.8 when i turned it in on saturday.

well in my case i think it was more of the tires due to they each weighted 50 lbs. the stock were like 25 lbs. stock rims were lighter also.

I've been averaging 16-ish in my 2010 King Ranch 5.4 4x4. Only have 1300 miles on it so far. I live in a rural area, so not much city traffic. Perhaps that's the reason.
