Hmmm OP said if you have a 2wd and drive 60mph, you MIGHT get 21mpg......

Well I have a 2wd and it is tuned by MPT and this was taken yesterday. Averaged almost 70mph for this trip. I guess something must be wrong with mine too.

Eco Tuner

With all we have done in the R&D on the inherent issues, and how easy it is to address the most common issues, including fuel economy, were looking into a new one. The EB is really and excellent engine and tons of potential to increase power. I won't hesitate to buy a new one and make the minor changes needed to right from the start to not have to worry about problems.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, if I ever go back to boost it'll be another 6.4 or 6.7 stroker.

Limited F150

damn i would love to see those numbers. as of now i'm still seeing 14-15 mpg with mostly city driving. hopefully once i get to 4k-5k miles the Mpg goes up a bit.

Yup! but note that is a 2WD with the 3.31. Some thoughts here as a first time F150 (and first time truck ) owner. I knew the FX4 with 3.7 would not be as good but at the moment at 1600 miles it is still lower than i would have expected. I would have preferred the 3.55 but couldn't find one specced right at the right deal. Given that I very rarely see the transmission gear display showing anything other than 5 or 6 it could happily pull even a 3.31 for me. Other than the mpg, I must say it is a really sweet engine. Power aplenty and incredibly smooth. Compared to every other truck and f150 combo I drove it was just streets ahead in smoothness and quietness. Since I was coming from a s/c Audi Q7 this was a definite plus for me. Ride/handling have actually been IMHO surprisingly good. I don't feel like I have given up too much in these areas at all. In fact apart from the mpg (seeing 12 too often even taking it easy) it is a pretty decent truck. One thing I have noticed is that hills really kill the mpg VERY quickly. And it takes 3 miles of downhill to make up for 1 mile of uphill. Not such a good thing when you live at 6500' ..

what is the spark plug gap change?

Not only that but he drives it harder than everyone else, yet complains that **** starts to break down and it doesn't get good gas mileage.
Weak suspension, yet it rides rough?


Ok...

I've got a 2012 eco screw 4X4 with 80k miles on it. Overall through the 80k has been 17.8 MPG. I did have the water issue with the CAC and had it detuned through the first TSB for close to 6 months, so I know the mileage overall is a bust. Right now with everything running up to snuff (had second TSB performed and PCM flashed with new cal) as it should be I can get from 17 to 24 mpg, just depends on how I want to drive and where I'm driving. MPG has to many variables to compare vehicle to vehicle with different drivers and different conditions.
I have never "drifted" a truck, and wonder about the mental capacity of someone who would and then complain about it breaking down.
My truck rides nice for what it is, A truck.

Same here, I guess my 13 ecoboost crew cab 4x4 max tow is a lemon

Remove your (2) and replace it with a (1) and you'd have my avg mpg . Even with 70% freeway driving I can't crack 14 mpg total for the tank. Been like that since day 1. No change at any mile interval (5k, 10k, 15,k, 20k, 25k).

If your going use your truck for drifting, you NEED to buy the 5.0 V8!
