Posters, including myself are just stating that it is pretty sad that almost every single F150 has a LOM that is off. Yes I know what LOM means, but they should be closer to accurate from the factory. Makes Ford seem like they are covering up their crappy mileage.

Thanks for the info, for those that hadn’t seen it.

For some reason the engines that use a MAF and can use MAF Counts like the 5.0 seem to be more accurate. They will often be dead on in the winter using G100. A little optimistic if using E10 or during the summer.
