Default Keep current truck or trade in

I have a 2011 with f150 ecoboost. I have had the truck for almost 2 years. I have been slowly getting less and less mpg when i first got it i was around 19-20mpg with the wheels that are in the picture. Now i have a hard time getting 14.5mpg. I have brought it to the dealer and they said there are no issues. I bought this truck for the mpg. So now i work for nissan and we just got a titan in from auction and im looking at it. This truck i know wont have the mpg and im okay with that as i know that from the start. I know this is a f150 forum but what one of the trucks would you guys get the titan is 30500 with 900 miles on it so its a good deal. It has a 6" lift with 35" tires on 20" rims. This truck will get around 13mpg. Thanks for your input.

This should be good.

If you're Ok with downgrading...Don't those things still have like 300hp? Fail. That's a HUGE downgrade.

Let me get this straight...you complain about your gas mileage with the Eco, but you're willing to downgrade to a truck with lesser MPG and power? I don't understand your logic bro...BTW..Titans get 13mpg STOCK. That's EPA estimates. Expect 8-10 MPG average real-world.

^agreeded. The Nissan is going to net you way less mpg, less hp, and tq. I know this is an f150 fourn but the choice is obvious. Stick with the f150.

It is rated at 317 but nissan always underestimates its power. They have always done this on a Dino they are close to 300whp. I'm not complaining about gas mileage I'm just saying if I'm going to get crapy gas mileage why not have a reason it's bad. If the f150 got the mileage it's supposed to this would never have crossed my mind.

Agreed x3. Your complaint is the lessening mpg's...yet you want to trade for even less mpg's than you currently get? I also don't get the logic?

My complaint is the truck has lost 5mpg from new and ford says there is no issues. I even pay more and run strait gas no E10. There has to be an issue and I'm worried it will only get worse and may break. The exterior of the titan I like better but the f150 interior kicks the crap out of the titan.

I have done nothing. I put in a indash navi unit and retrofit headlights in it. No other mods. I got 21-22 with stock rims and tires. Changed them out at 1000 miles.
