Hey All - at some point I would love to get a tour of the Greenswamp area - I am in lakeland

Florida_F150

Cool. Green Swamp has some good wheelin' but it's pretty easy and there aren't any specific features, obstacles, or challenges that you'd need someone to show you or point out. You could go out there solo and just cruise around with little problem unless you got into some deep mud. Here's how to get to the main entrance from Lakeland, if you ever wanted to check it out or if you were passing by:

If I head up anytime soon, I'll give you a shout.

thanks - am I correct in thinking that any of the roads in there are fair game unless something is specifically marked that you can't enter?

Florida_F150

Yep, and if a trail is closed, it's probably not a trail you would have attempted anyway, haha. But yeah you can just drive around pretty much anywhere. Turn your GPS on and check frequently to confirm you have signal. If you get in too deep and then find out you have no GPS signal, gonna be hard to find your way out.

Sweet truck!
Whats that mpg with the regear?

Florida_F150

Thanks! Appreciated.

MPG varies a lot depending on how hard I'm getting on the gas. And I'm just going by the in-dash "lie-o-meter" as they call it so not sure how accurate it is, haha.

Around my rural-ish area averaging 45mph, I get like mid-to-high teens, maybe 16 - 17mpg. If I'm the only one on the road at night, a little higher. And if I'm getting on the gas or having a little fun off-road, it definitely drops a few mpgs. I don't do much highway, so can't really answer there. I'm guessing mid-teens again. At 60 - 65mph, I'm still turning under 2,000 RPMs in 6th gear.
