He's a child... I have a teenager - they all behave like this from time to time.

Ok I so I took a little trip to visit family last month and wanted to post some real world numbers. Now I'm sure everyone is gonna be different but here is mine. 2013 F150 Crew KR 4x4 5.0L with 3.73 gears now just over 30,000 miles, edge turner, true dual exhaust with the bak flip tri fold.



From central Texas to just outside Atlanta.





From Atlanta to upstate PA.





From Atlanta back to central Texas. With the bak flip opened due to a hutch in the bed.

I forgot to take a picture of the fuel number from PA back to Atlanta.

I would say my avg speed was somewhere around 65-70 for most of trip.

I run royal purple oil in the truck and was in need of a oil change when I got back from the trip.

I feel like the truck pretty well overall. With the changes of elevation and highway speeds and traffic. We most our driving at night so I had lower air temps and less traffic.

I normally get 15-16 mpg for my around mileage here at home going to and from work 50/50 highway/city driving. I have no complaints.

Good to know I'm arguing with a couple of hypocrites who are in complete denial of reality.
If you consider statistics, your argument is delusional. You're claiming that the 3.7 is immune to anything on it going bad, ever, since day 1 of production. Given the well documented history of mass producing engines, the debugging updates manufacturers make along the way, the reality of a bearing going bad, the reality of an engine leaving the factory with a faulty internal part (uncommon but still happens), and the fact that they're made by humans and not androids, THE BURDEN OF PROOF IS ON YOU to show that there isn't a SINGLE 3.7 on the planet that has EVER knocked/slapped/had any noise producing defect whatsoever. Not a single one out of how many thousands in how many years? Good luck with that. And you chumps have the gall to accuse me of BS'ing. Pull your head out. There is a MUCH greater chance that I can locate evidence that blows your pipe dream for the 3.7 out of the water. Intelligent people already accept this remedial knowledge but you two children would rather keep your heads buried in the sand. Statistically you're screwed and your argument relies on a hope and a prayer. ZX is sticking his fingers in his ears and going "LALALALA!" yet I'M the child. Haha okay. Keep telling yourselves that in order to delude yourselves into thinking youve won this argument.

Now that's a convincing argument.

The burden of proof is on you genius, seeing that you're the one with the pipe dream that goes against hard stats and data. Let the butthurt flow.


Theyre the ones making a claim thats more unsubstantiated than mine, so the burden of proof is on them. Instead of getting defensive they would need to do weeks of thorough research combing every ford service department in north america and prove there was never a single 3.7 f150 in existence that has ever had parts replaced (in and out of warranty) because of knocking/piston slap/pinging/tapping. No records showing anything done related to diagnosing or fixing a knock or abnormal tap. No records of bad bearings, cams, or followers that QC accidentally let through. Nothing at all. We're looking for a true 100% , not 99.9 clean record on the 3.7. and we're not even including the 3.7 Mustangs. I wouldn't be surprised if its around 99% because those duratecs have a very reliable reputation. But these clowns are trying to claim 100% immunity. The burden of proof is on you to demonstrate you're not delusional, seeing that history and humans are not on your side.
We've got almost 5 years and maybe half a million (?) of those trucks to work with now and Beavis and Butthead over here really believe that ford pulled off a true 0.0% problem rate with that engine
We all know the 5L has a much more widespread problem with it. Not the point. The point is Zx12 and isthatahemi don't have a shred of evidence to back up their claim.

Now ZX12-Iowa will probably fall back on his usual calling me a "child" cop out and isthatahemi will continue searching his rectum for his brain. That's what people do when facts won't change their mind.

Here's one i took the other night

I just purchased my 2014 F150 SuperCrew XLT 5.0 4x4 two weeks ago with 4k miles on it. I drove it from Dallas to New Orleans and averaged 16 mpg with my cruise set at 80.

I just drove from New Orleans to central Louisiana to visit my family for the weekend. I drove the exact speed limit all the way and averaged 22.5 mpg. Needless to say I'm impressed with the truck compared to my 07 XLT 5.4 2wd. Both trucks have 3.55 gears.

Just my two cents.

Here's a pic of the dash with the specifics

Here's my dash picture:




If you keep it 60 or less, that will net you the best mileage.
