so brakes and air filter are good. 3.31 gears, no tune, is 4x4, on the stock 22s with terra grappler 33s running 35 psi, with a 2inch lift, has 50k miles and bought it from a dealer 5k miles ago. And I’m located in Illinois so pretty flat terrain as well. Thanks guys!

 

@coco38 Thanks for posting! Good looking truck but the mileage surprises me. We have 3:55 gears under our ride. This past week coming back from Michigan we got on the plus side of 20.5 mpg doing 68'ish mph on the interstate in "ECO" mode on the 10 speed trans. Have you tried the "wipe & re-learn" suggested by acdii? It can't hurt. I run 38 psi ( cold ) in our Goodyear tires. Again, best of luck and keep us posted.

Wondering if your truck "coasts" as good as your buddies. Thinking that maybe your front hubs might be engaged. If I remember correctly there is a vacuum system that disengages the front hubs if you're not in 4A or 4H. Excuse me if I have this wrong. I was shock how far our F-150's can coast once you take your foot off the gas.

 

Mine has the 6 speed transmission and how do you do a wipe and relearn?

 

I have never done a "wipe and relearn" but here is a you tube video link I just watched by Fordtechmakuloco

Please investigate more before you attempt. I had no idea it was this detailed. Maybe a search on this forum would be beneficial.

 

I did the same mod on the same engine, and if I don't act like a 12-year-old it gets slightly better mileage. However the 12-year-old wins most days.

 

'19 XLT 3.5 FX4 Crew Dash readout runs 5% optimistic.

 

I just stumbled onto this thread and found it quite interesting. Way back in 2012 it seems this was the topic of the day. Things change and our dependence on foreign is no longer a factor. Our trucks aren't or at least shouldn't be the gas hogs they once were. Assuming of course you put out the $40g's to get something considered modern these days.

I drive a 16 SCREW with the not so popular NA 3.5 "flexfuel". I routinely get 20 plus MPG. And it computes out that way on a calculator. At least within .3 or .4 MPG. It's two wheel drive and I drive it with the traffic which these days is usually as fast as the leader feels he/she can get away with. That would be 79 MPH. The truck has 98k on it and I usually burn regular unleaded gas. Only a few times have I took the plunge and tried the Alcohol blends and was quite surprised as the MPG really didn't suffer as much as I expected.

I've read a lot of the posts. Agree with some, not so much with others. I think personally think the secret is simply easy on the gas and light on the brakes. However I disagree with some in that I tend to lay off the brakes as late as possible. Drives the wife silly sometimes but I still have the original pads and rotors. Heat build up is what kills brake parts and a long steady drag is the worse thing you can do.

In the case of the engine. Coming from an aviation background where turbocharging is sometimes necessary but always avoided if possible, I intentionally stayed away from the ECO engines. Just my opinion and I'm sure Ford has done there work perfecting the gadgets. But, being a low lander I saw no benefit in them for me. This engine produces all the power I need. Pulling a heavy boat it performs as well as I need. Keeps up with the traffic and does well in the Tennessee/Georgia hills where we live.

So my two cents is, the extra cost of the twin turbo power hits your pocket book in more ways than just the window sticker. Too bad Ford has decided this is all they can offer. But, they produce what folks want. I'm OK with that too.

 

can you install heated switches on a 2013 ford f150 that already has heated seats.

 

I am doing pretty good on my new 2019 2.7 2WD. I get right around 16 MPG with 100% city driving and more boost than eco

 

Run 1.5 tanks since picking up the truck, averaging 18.5 it seems. I have had stretches in excess of 22 mpg, and peaked it out at 24.7 after the first fill-up and 20 mile drive home in eco mode.
