My new Truck!!!
Finally got a F150. Not what I was planning on ordering but still excited. I'll be keeping this truck 15+ yrs so we'll see how the 2.7 fairs. I'm getting 16 city now but in Miami with the very small runs between stopsigns I'm not surprised.
Planned Mods:
Husky X-ACT (ordered)
LED Headlamps from raptor retrofits
New wheels + tires + level when stock tires wear out
Tint on front windows
Rextrax pro mx
AMP Power steps

Congrats, I have a very similar one in Tuxedo Black. So far I'm getting over 18 mpg in mostly city driving and a few back country roads...picked it up Thursday night and already have over 100 miles on it.

I am amazed how ppl are getting high mpg. I get 16 avg with 75% highway at 55-65mph. I hop on the gas now and then but far from racing to 60

Thanks for all of the compliments! I really regretted not having the 502A for the chrome handles and trim but to be honest the painted trim has grown on me.
Boosted. One thing I've learned is the motor is very very finicky with mpgs. For example if I try to hold the throttle at 35 I will hold an average of 18 just doing that. But if I set the cruise cruise control at 35 the truck has no problem hold 26+mpgs. I don't know what it is but I've just learned if you can use the cruise control do it. It makes a huge difference.
