Mine will be a year old next month. I've only put 5k miles on it, I drive my Chevelle in the summer everyday now. One oil change so far and one problem, the ABS module went. No downtime, just some lights on. I'm totally happy with the truck.

 

Booze, did you notice a "break in" period on your truck when your MPG got any better?

Ive got a very similar set up to yours. 2016 XLT SCrew 4x2, 3.31 gears, 2.7EB, and I swapped the stock 18s out for the Platinum 20s with factory hankooks within the first 1k miles... Recently our MPGs are sticking in the mid to high 18s. I believe lifetime (2500 miles) is about 20.5... Just curious if I should anticipate a bump at some point. (My wife is using it primarily for her work commute now, so 25 miles each way on open highway, and we recently had a chat about the advantages of staying under 70mph.)

 

Here's the fuel economy since my truck was new.
That 14 mpg was all city driving and was only 9 gallons anyway. It's steadily increasing but not by much. This is with a 3.5tt.

I didn't notice any real break in period. I did the lift, tires, spacers at around 1300-1500 miles so if there was a change around that time I wouldn't have noticed it above the change from the alterations.

I did notice a difference after I adjusted the speedometer with the Hypertec. Once I dialed in my tire size the truck seemed to shift better at a more correct speed and naturally the MPGs got better since miles traveled on the trip matched the miles traveled on the tires.

 

I couldn't agree more about the headlights. First evening drive I was like what the ....? I can't see. Dangerous situation IMO. I went with all XHP LED bulbs in the front from 4x4leds.com, and again, NOT WANTING A DEBATE, found significant improvement.

 

Yep, couldn't agree more. I'm still extremely pleased with the XHP LED's from Adam @ 4x4truck. I recently enabled the mod via Forscan to run the high/low/fogs all at the same time. Incredible lightning on the back country roads in Northern MN!

I think a lot of the headlights depends on what you're used to. For stock halogens they're mediocre but if you came from an old vehicle that had halogens they are probably just as good.

If you've had HID's though the stock halogens just seem turdible.

 

I came from a 02 F250 with WAY better halogen headlights than, much to my surprise, my brand new high tech F150. I wasn't thrilled with needing to spend an additional $500, and tearing the front all apart, so I could adequately see on the highway at night. Anyway I think the designed OEM LED headlights are fine in the slick newly shaped housings, They should have been standard, or at least an option on all levels... cos the halogen output is dangerously poor.
