I have basically the same truck, 3.5 eco, 6.5 bed, and to me the most important part in the equation if you are looking for mpg, is the rear, mine is 3.73, and that is no good.. My overall mpg is 13.9 over 33k

With my Goodyear Wranglers at the 35 PSI my mileage was around 15.1 over time. My new BF Goodrich's can accept up to 55 PSI. I have been using 45 PSI and there is a big difference for me I am scheduled to take it on a big trip in July and I think I'll run it at 50 PSI. My wife might not like it as much, but we'll see.

what’s up guys I’m not sure if this is in the wrong section but I wanted to know if anyone is getting this problem. I have my 2013 f-150 ecoboost. I’m getting 12.5 mpg on the expressway. My tire size is 275/70/18 and my mileage is at 102,000. I’ve kept up with the maintenance and recently just cleaned the map sensors and throttle body and way to pick up that mileage?

Well your tires are a part, and more PSI will help, but not enough I fear. I had the injectors, MAP, and Throttle Body, cleaned on a old Taurus and it really woke that vehicle up, so maybe your injectors.

Some of our customers purchase tuners from us because of what they can do for improved fuel economy. For example the Edge CS2 Evolution which can be used for both gas and diesel engines:
Has anyone tried a device like this?

I have a 2010 Ford f150 with 67k 6 inch pro comp lift, k&n cold air intake, flowmaster muffler running 33's and getting a average of 12.3 mpg going to purchase a tuner but probably won't help much due to heavy foot

500 miles so far and averaging 17.6 on a 2018 XLT 2.7L. A mixture of both hwy and city, but I’m also not heavy footed. I think it will increase with cap on bed.
