I bought my 2011 4x4 SCrew Off Road Ecoboost (with the longer bed) in Sept 2011. Can not afford a lift, but the stock tires wore down fast (down to 2-3 mm after 8 months) so I put E rated Duratracs on the stock wheels in Aug 2012. My average MPG dropped about 1.1 MPG. I am now running an average of 15.6 MPGs with 70% city/country roads, 30% highway. I granny drive just because I have 3 kids and want to make my money stretch, but am not about to complain about the mileage in the least. Last summer I rented a backhoe, machine and trailer were just over 10,000 lbs. The guy at the rental place was skeptical about hooking it up to my F150. Said it was a bad idea. I said not to worry. When I pulled out of the lot I could barely notice there was a trailer at all. Less than a week later, I went to the quarry for gravel, they overloaded me (not by request), I drove home with 4200 LBS of gravel in the bed of my truck. Just made steering a little off, but drove fine otherwise. For the work this truck is capable of, I am more than happy with the mileage.

I had my 2013 ECB for 16 months. I have 35" with 2" leveling kit. The most I can get is 16mph ALL highway. I bought a livernois Tuner for 87 Gas. I got one mile a hour improvement, but the Truck is ALOT faster when I need it. Highly recommend the Tuner from Livernois Motorsports.

Thanks, and yeah, i've been looking into that option. I just got this F150 (my old 99 gave to my son) in Sept. So, with the lift, wheels, fender flares, nerf bars, etc etc i am really short on cash. This tuner upgrade, and possible exhaust and air intake upgrades will have to wait.

My truck reads in L/100km and it only dropped by 1.5 when i lifted it. but by towing suffered the most, O boy this thing will be expensive to tow. I don't tow a lot of weight either before the lift i towed about 4500 lbs over 400km about a 4.5 hour total road trip and averaged about 20L/100km which still isn't great. just the oher day i towed a 2000 lbs trailer that was smaller (double snowmobile trailer with 2 sleds) and averaged 29.7 L/100km over 100km trip mostly highway. I had a lifted diesel that didn't even notice a 5000 pound trailer seems like gas trucks notice what i've ate for lunch, My buddies chevy is the same thing its completely stock, gets 17L/100km empty and over 20L/100km towing a small trailer,

Its safe to say not only is this my last F150 but last gas truck. I really like the F150 but gas trucks are tooo expensive to tow with, and we like to make a 1200 - 1500km snowmobile trip at least twice a year it would cost half as much in a diesel. People told me towing loads under 5000 won't matter much with a gas over diesel, but they are WAY wrong, my Duramax would average 16L/100km with a 4 Place snowmobile trailer, i can't imagine the gas i'd burn in my truck.

Well I guess the fuel economy on mine will be non existent anymore. Guess that is why I spent a little to try and save a little with the tuner/software for the SCT Livewire. So far on the initial full tank I am at 48x miles. The last 100 ish have come on 37" tires. I think the computer said I have about 63 miles to empty. I will really find out after the fill up.

i have 2.5" leveling kit with 33x12.5x18 open country Mt's and in the summer heat 100% in town i averaged 13.5-14.0. Now that the weather has cooled off i average 14.5-15.2 same intown driving. If i stay at 65mph on highway it will get 18.7-19.3 but soon as i get over 65 it starts going down. I went on a 153 mile round trip with 95% highway running 75-80mph and it averaged 16.4. I have just a SCT 93 canned tune and a airaid CAI

Hope this helps. My stock tires were 32.9" my new tires with a 2" leveling kit are 34.1" tall. I know if I'm traveling at 60mph per my speedometer I am actually going just over 63mph because of the taller tire. Have not had my speedometer recalibrated.

I hooked up my Garmin gps and filled up my tank full. Went for a 100 mile drive. Came back to the same station same pump. My trip odometer on the truck was at 101 miles. My gps said 112 miles. I put in 7.1 gallons into the tank. So off of what the truck said I did 101 miles / 7.1 gallons = 14.22 mpg. Now going off the actual miles off of the Garmin 112 miles my mpg was 15.80. A big difference to me.

I have a 2014 F150 SC with the ecoboost, 2.5" level. I put 295/55/R20 (33x12.50) Nitto Trail Grappler on it and my MPG's are down to 15.5 in the city/ 17 on the highway at 70 MPH. I also put a Hypertech Max energy programmer on it with the 87 tune.
