I have a 5.0L 2013 XLT right now and have the opportunity to trade to a 2013 Limited with the 6.2L. What are you 6.2L owners getting for real world mileage?

Thanks in advance!

Check out my Albums for some pictures of my Trip Moniters to see. I have an '11 Lariat that I ordered with the 6.2. I love her!

2013 Limiteds did not come with the 6.2L. They only came with the Ecoboost. The only Limiteds that had the 6.2L were the 2011s. 2013 & 2014 Limiteds all had the Ecoboost.

If its a 2011 with the 6.2L, you cant expect better than 13mpg city. If its a 2013 with the Ecoboost, maybe 15-16mpg city.

Here is my 2 cents. If I baby it like an old geezer I can get 20mpg with resetting the button. If I drive like a normal human man I will get 16.5 mpg.
If I drive like a mad man I will get 11mpg. Since I do all three in a course of a oil change the average is 16.5 mph by the history display on how many hours mileage and gallons used in the display.


I do have a 36 gallon tank and I have gotten the estimate fuel mileage that is highlighted in green to 625 miles on a fresh tank.


So in a nut shell it depends on your driving style and situation. This is a 2013 Platinum 4X4 with 29,500 miles.

Thanks so far guys. I didn't think it felt much stronger than the 5.0 until I got out of it and back into my 5.0. Yeah, it's stronger! after driving for a night, the mileage on the dash averages about 1-2 MPG less, but I didn't get it out on a long run.

I sure love the HID headlights compared to the XLT. I even replaced the bulbs in the XLT and it still isn't as good as the Limited.

This 2013 Limited was a Canadian vehicle converted back to US.
