Gen 2 mileage, 15/18, 16/22 what gives?

[bignatelvhc]

I got my 2017 with 37k miles and I’m at 47k now and it’s been a constant 15.5 every fill up.

13.3 mph avg on my 18 with 4500 miles.

If you want 22 out of a pickup, get a diesel. If you want a kick *Bleep* ride that will make you smile every time you drive it, get a Raptor. Having said that, my 2018 is getting 16.1 mpg (indicated) over the past 26,500 miles. That said, your mileage will go down if driven the least bit aggressively...substantially!

I am on my 3rd Raptor. 2014, 2017 and 2019

My 2014 never got more than 17 mpg on the highway. (68 K miles when sold)

My 2017 towing my race truck averaged around 14.5 depending on the terrain. Around town and mixed driving it was generally in the 16.7 to 18.2 range and on the highway it was generally between 22 to 23 mpg. On a couple of trips, all highway from Philadelphia PA to my home in Massachusetts I saw just over 24 mph running the speed limit on cruise control. (56 K miles when sold)

My 2019 does not approach the mileage my 2017 got. Towing my race truck averaged around 12.5 depending on the terrain. Around town and mixed driving it was generally in the 15 to 16 range and on the highway it is generally between 18 to 19 mpg. I have even made the same trip from PA to MA at the same time of the year and as I remember it was just under 18 mpg. (currently 30.5 K miles)

I have absolutely no explanation for the difference between the 2017 and 2019.

I can say that the 2019 has never felt as if it runs as well as the 2017 did. I have had both on the drag strip and the 2017 ran a 14.13 in the quarter mile in Baja Mode and the 2019 best was a 14.46. The Air, density altitude, was far better when I ran the 2019.

I would love to figure out how to get back to the mileage of my 2017 but I have no clue what reason there is for such a huge gap between the 2017 and 2019.

So I've seen listings that list the gas mileage of 2019's at both 15/18 and 16/22. Engine descriptions are the same. So......what up??????

You can't believe any reported MPG unless you've done this... https://www.f150forum.com/f118/fix-inaccurate-mpg-display-2-minutes-421912/
As a test...next time you fill up try doing the math on your actual mpg by dividing the gallons into the MPG on your trip gauge. You will find it is inaccurate and needs to be adjusted as per the link. I had to mess with it a bit to get it dialed in but the process worked perfectly once I figured out how touchy the process for getting into the settings was. I have a MY19.
EPA is 15/18 under what they consider standard conditions...not sure what that is exactly but it has to do with altitude and temperature which is something else you need to consider when people are reporting their MPG.

Raptor is 15/18 period.

16/22 is some engine variations of the F-150, but no Raptor will ever get 22mpg unless it’s downhill, with a tailwind, and off a cliff.

I got 25 one trip...100+ mile highway trip in a snow storm with snow/weather mode on and didn't get it above 50 the whole way. once the storm passed, had some fun in the aftermath on back country roads and immediately went back down to 15

It just boggles my mind how many ads are misleading.
