Eh, I don't believe it. No offense. Show us the range.
It's on the dash.. 443 to empty and just over half a tank of fuel. 36 gallon tank. If you notice my range actually went up between pic 1 and 2 / over an hour in-between. Again, this is demonstrating highway mileage. The min you hit traffic or driving the city this will drop right away.
That is terrific mileage OP. Is your truck painted in the Area51 color? it looks great with the chrome.
I wish my 23 3.5 would do better. I have had it on the highway for hours using cruise control and then putting round town doing errands and other times with a load of firewood in the back and the MPG always hovers around the 20.5 mark. It's still much better than what my 2002 supercrew with the 5.4 was getting so I can't complain too much. I'm just wondering where the 23 mpg is that was advertised on the sticker.
That’s some insane mpg, considering my 1998 Chrysler intrepid got 18 mpg, that’s how much automotive has advanced over the years. The best mpg I got is 25 hand calculation verified. I have yet to do an mpg loop with green mode, the get up and go was too sluggish for me to stay in that mode. Lol
but I should give it a try at some point.
Get the 5.0 in that 45-55 mph cruise speed on the highway, nice and level, that 4 cylinder mode kicks in and mpg is insanely good.
55 will get you shot at, or rammed off the road or pancaked by a Semi in FL, you do under 70 on I95 or the Turnpike and gunna have a bad time lmao. I had cruise on 85 yesterday on I95 just going with flow and people still flying past in left lane.
Where in the world do you people live where highways are 45? Our city streets are that speed and we Floridians automatically add 10-15 on top of that 😁
Do these generation trucks have an 'engineering' access code on the dashboard? My generation has one that is used to correct over-enthusiastic MPG Ford sets from the factory

When stock, brand new driving it home, mine did 22.5-23mpg best and that was at 70-75mph average speed and a good section of that was driving through the Ozarks which has hills. In a flat terrain, 6065, I don't see why it would not get even better. Heck it does 17-18mpg on the highway now on E85 when I have 28-30" wheels on it and that's with E85 and supercharged doing 60-65mph.

I saw consistent 23-24 mpg on mine during the 1000 mile drive home from picking up my truck at Granger in Iowa. That was all stock, no load, and generally driving around 60 mph (keeping the speed and revs lower during my attempt at gentle break in). Now with oversized LT tires, level-lift, removed active air dam, and rear cap (and driving faster), I get 20-22.
Of course I do wish it was more, but it beats the 15-16 mpg I was getting in my 2001 Suburban 2500, with the 6.0.
