Honest Fuel Economy Comparison - Raptor vs TRX

[Muchmore]

Man filling up every 300-350 miles would not be ideal. I could live with higher HP and less fuel economy but filling up all the time sucks.

My 2019 hits a wall above 75mph. On my 400 mile each way fishing trips I typically get 18.5+ if staying below 75, averaging 80mph it drops into the 16s. I’ll be interested to see what happens when my TRX arrives.....

OP have you ever did a tank in the 14s in the TRX?

Thanks

Here’s shortly after I bought the truck. A mix of highway speeds on a two lane highway between 65mph and 70mph. The results above are from traveling between 75mph and 80mph.

Not really in the same class, but my gen 1, 6.2 2012 milage has never been reset. Roughly 74,000 miles total of which 20,000+ heavy towing and high speed freeway and 5,000+- off road.

15.2mpg

This may not be apples to apples but my 2015 lariat 3.5 fuel economy tanked around 50k miles. I did plugs, coils, tune… hell even helium in the tiresp). That truck would only get 15 on the highway doing 70 w/ the cruise on down hill and 12.9 mixed and I had a 36 gallon tank. I had 305 and a level but I don’t drive my truck like my M3. My 2019 raptor is 18.5 highway and 15.6 mixed. I can afford all the gas I want but it sucks having such a short range. The wife’s RR sport supercharged with 525hp gets 18 cruising at 90

I had the TRX for 5 months traded it in for a 21 Raptor

How do you like the gen 3 compared to the TRX? How is the comfort? Fuel economy? Any advice for those of us pissed that ford keeps dropping the ball and not informing us? A ram sales guy says he can order a 22 TRX for 10% under msrp.

I got mine for 4% under invoice... Now time to wait for a build again

15.5mpg in a TRX? That had to be down hill at 55mph with a tail wind. I love my TRX, but it has a serious drinking problem!

Same. I don't mind paying for more fuel for a kickass truck. But I gotta get a bigger tank (if I'm gonna go TRX).
