New 5.0L FX2
It's been a week since I got my 2013 F-150 FX2 Superscrew (5.0L, 5.5' box, 400A package, 3.55 electronic locking rear diff). Only issue with the truck is that I haven't been able to take the grin off my face all week...
So far I've peeled off the FX2 stickers, installed plate covers and have ordered a tonneau pro tri fold, bedtread liner, OEM floor mats and Anzo LED turn signals.
One question I have is how long is the break-in period supposed to be for this motor? I'm averaging about 16L/100km (14.7 MPG) right now... but I expect that should get better after the motor is broken in.

I'm at 5000 miles and I'm stuck at 16.2 . I'm driving the same thing , a 2013 fx2 5.0.
After the first month with it. I was getting the 16 mpg after the first month with it.
Great looking truck! That was my second color choice

Welcome to the forum and might I say you have a sharp screw f-150 there.
The 2013 F-150 x-cab 2wd STX company truck I drive now with the 5.0 gets 22 mpg highway easy.
The dash says 23 but every time I fill the truck at the same pump, the same way and my real world numbers are always 1 mpg less than the computer/ dash numbers.
The truck has 3,000 miles now.
Love this truck.
Never thought I would see a full size truck ride so nice, have plenty of power, and get 22 mpg with the a/c on.
Well done Ford.

Nice! I have a 2011 FX2 5.0, love the truck! Mine always got about 15-16 city and 18-19 highway. But that all went to **** with I put bigger tires on it lost a couple MPG's, but total worth it cause it looks way better now.
Does yours have the Heated and A/C'd seats? When I got mine they only had the option of heated, and down here in South TX you would be way better off with A/C'd.

Clean truck, i have the same truck +/- a few things. I'm averaging 16.5-17mpg with stop n go traffic @40-60mph. My highway mileage is 20-23.5mpg depending on speed. Bout to roll 10k miles

[MENTION=164271]Jared26[/MENTION], I didn't get any heated/cooled seats. Up here in Canada I'm definitely on the opposite side of that need though!
Thanks for the mileage numbers guys. I'll post some more pics after I install the bed accessories and turn signals.
