Default 2 questions.

Hey guys first question I have a 2011 FX4 screw and the headlights suck. I have replaced factory with the sylvania silvers and I'm not impressed any other options?

Second I towed my new 16ft aluminum sled trailer yesterday and got a whopping 10 miles to the gallon in my ecoboost. This trailer weighs nothing should I be concerned my 2010 fx4 screw with a v8 got better WTF. Thanks guys.

So the Silverstars weren't that good huh? Been thinkin about changing the factory bulbs out for something else myself. I have like the silverstars in the past, on other vehicles.

As for towing MPG, can't help there? Mine got 13.4 when I towed my 4wheeler around on my small trailer.

you could upgrade your headlights to a projector style Recon makes a real nice pair, or you could install a set of HIDs you can find a set of High/Low on ebay for under $100 DIY install only takes about 30 mins..

sorry no answers on the towing for ya, good luck!

I find the overall mileage numbers on my EB to be disappointing at best. With that being said, I still love the truck. It can tow pretty much anything I can afford, it hauls my entire family, has 4WD, looks sharp, rides quiet and smooth.

Yes, the headlights are poor.
