I'm only 400km on the new setup so I'm waiting till around 1000k to get a more decent number but I'm currently getting 16.8L/100km on 89OCT. Stock I was averaging 13.4. I just think it's funny how my lifted truck with heavy tires gets better milage than the stock ecoboost trucks lol. Once I get a good baseline at 1000k I'm gonna load my 5 star tune and see what the milage goes to.

Thanks. Now that it's lifted I kinda wish I had the 6.5ft bed. It would have come in handy a couple times and lifted screw LB trucks look sweet. The extra height makes them not look so awkward IMO

Milage update. Truck settled in at 16.6L/100km or 14.4MPG. I don't think that's too bad for having the lift the heavy wheel/tire setup. I do a mixed of city driving and county where I do 95km/h. Gonna load the 5 star tunexpected and see what it gets after I run the 89 perf/tow and the 91perf/tow and 91 race. Ill run each for each for 1000km and compare. I always drive the truck with a moderate foot getting into it sometimes to clean it out and hear the roush exhaust

Finally got around to installing my 5 star tune. All I can say is wow. What a difference it made in the truck. Like most say the throttle response is instant and shifts are sharp and crisp. Have it set on an 89 perf/tow right now. What really made me happy with it was after I installed my lift and bigger tires I was getting an odd vibration when slowing down to a stop from like 30km-0. It kinda felt like warped rotors that was eliminated after the tune was applied and calibrated for the bigger tires and I'm guessing that was the problem. The ECU or ABS was getting mixed messages because it couldn't account for the different rolling distance of the larger tires. Another issue that I'm assuming was from the larger tires was if I was in 6th and tried to pass someone it would drop to 3rd and accel like normal but a second later TCS came on and cut power. Probably a sensor in the diff not accounting for the difference the larger tires were making. Tune fixed this problem like I said as well. All in all very happy with it only thing I might change is the 5th-6th shift pressure. Under a heavier foot the engine noise kinda makes a 150 rpm jump sound while its shifting up to 6th
