It does get good mileage for a truck with 35's. I think I got 18 mph hwy on a 1k mile trip under 75 mph. City 12.

How many miles on it? Took a few thousand for my ‘18 to break in (I suppose) & mileage started noticeably improving.

Also- it’s pretty clear these trucks much prefer 93 octane, Better mpg by .5-1 for me.

I have 12.5k now- no mods other than colder SP542 plugs & moving my license plate to keep IC cooler. That was only recently...I’m averaging 15.5 - that’s for all 12,500 miles

Going over 70-72 on the hwy mileage really seems to drop off, and I can’t help but be 78-80 most of the time.


Just rolled 30k on mine and I have only driven it steady for about a year. My mileage will be much less since my engine has been heavily modified, not fuel efficient, all power. Running 37's with everything else doesn't help much either. The first week I had my truck I was doing about 15 to 16. I also drive 75-80 mph and run 93 octane always with an occasional 100 octane fill up at the track.

???? Tanks friggin huge. I can’t imagine there’s even a regular passenger vehicle out there w/ a larger one.

36 gallons ain’t enough?

I wish I had at least 50 gals. I miss my F250, had 65 gals and would get 800-900 miles between refueling. Will be going back to a F350 in a few months for my highway truck.

Here we go again with another gas mileage thread. If your worried about mileage you “should” have bought a Prius! No the tanks not big enough, it’s a truck to drive like you stole it, it weighs 3 tons, it runs like a scalded dog, and I justcan’t Get enough of driving it. Stop worrying about mileage and feed the beast you’ve got and have some fun man. Dang I need to get some gas. Gotta go-

I have no idea what mine gets. I changed the screen on the dash to off road mode and never toggle back to look at it. Works great for me, so I don’t have to think about it.

I also commute in a Ford C-Max, similar to a Prius!
