I have a dealer loaner, 2014 3.7 on a 2wd screw, first impression.. Not a bad engine. I personally don't think it belongs in a large truck like the screw but a regular cab, I can see it haul butt. I do love the engine in my wife's 2011 Lincoln mkx, 305HP 280TQ! not bad pushing 4400 pounds!

Did you get the tuner thing figured out?
Thank you for your kind words. I finally figured out what a tuner is lol. Feel like a dummy now, I should of realized it had something to do with the computer. I'm doing a bunch of research now trying to find the best bang for the buck.

I'm glad it's a plug and play affair. Actually I am pretty excited about the ease of installation and having the ability to change the settings for city/highway trips. I think I will probably end up with a nicer lcd model and find a cool way to mount it in my center console. Thanks again for your helpful words.

I have around 9300 miles on my '13 STX 4x4. I am very satisfied with the motor, it's been great. It's very smooth, the six speed shifts without notice. I put a Truxedo roll up tonneau cover which really made it look complete. I have some weather tech mud flaps I have to put on this weekend.
I hate seeing all the road salt all over my truck. I had to have the rocket panels done on my old truck because they rusted out completely. I think a little preventative action will save me a bill in the future. New England winters are hard on the finish and steel.

Anyone one else have a rusty axle? I have low miles and my rear axle housing and a few bolts in the rear are rusty. My old truck had a ton of miles with now rust. I might paint it if it keeps bugging me... Which it does!

I know that this is an old thread, but my 2012 Supercab 3.7 has 62,000Kms (38,500miles) and not a problem with the truck or the drivetrain!!

Anyone have an STX 3.7 4X4 super cab with the sport package and 20 inch wheels. Wondering what kind of mileage I can expect.

Default 3.7 leveled mpg BAD!

My 2014 3.7 averages; 16-17mpg on the freeway and 12-13 on the streets! Horrible but that's the price you pay when you put 18' rims on 34' tires with a leveling kit.

Just put 20x9 wheels with a 4 ply 33" tire lost about 3-4 mpg. I didnt think the fuel economy would take such a dump especially since i went with 4 ply tires instead of 10 ply. Must be all the rolling resistance with the all terrain tread pattern.
