Mpg
Does anyone have a 16 and feel like the MPG IS WORSE. my 13 gave me 600 miles to a tank which is damn near close to 17mpg. My 16 is giving me 13-14 mpg. I know when I break it in it will improve but my 13 was 700lbs heavier and I was carrying a bed full of tools.
Need to break in the motor, take 4-5000 miles to get a good accurate reading, plus running on winter blend (depending on the motor) can affect your mileage. Also the type of gear ratio you have will play a difference. My old truck (04f 150) I would lose 2 mpg just on the stupid winter blend ****.
Give it time, my truck started out (I have the 5.0 w 3.55) under 14 in the city, now I'm getting about 15.5-16 in city with 33"

That sounds very low to me. I do very few long trips and mostly town and rural driving, no interstates. I am getting 18.3 for the lifetime mileage with about 8000 miles on the truck. I had a 2012 that got mileage like you are posting. It turned out the brakes were dragging. The guy I sold it to had it worked on and they eventually found stick calipers. His mileage went up over 2 mpg instantly.
I have a 16 platinum 5.0 fx4 with 3.55 electronic lock. My 13 was a lariat w/ 5.0 fx4 373 electronic lock. So far I have been a bit disappointed with the new truck. In comparison the 13 outperformes the 16 in every way. It had more *****, my stereo was much better, it felt planted and gripped the road better. Last night I merged on to my local highway and I had to punch it to get it and it took a good 50 ft before the truck hooked up. I have merged at that intersection time and time again in my 13 and it never did that. So far the 16 is like a gorgeous woman. Sweet to look at but rotten under her skin hahaha. No offense to any pretty women
