Lifts and mileage?

[Nthorseman]

The impression I have, is that those complaining about the lowest mileage, have the highest suspensions on their trucks.

Is that impression accurate or simply a figment of elevation?

Accurate.............

I've complained about my 11's mpg ever since stock. Never was it even close to the original reported numbers

Ah...but is it lower now with the higher truck?

The mileage isn't the problem. Ford just needs to say hey man, the truck
gets 17 highway and 14 city

[Dieseldawg2010]

900 miles on the new truck. 600 miles with no trailer- city/hwy 14.8 & hwy @ 75 mph got 20 mpg
300 miles towing 30' TT toy hauler (11,500#) with consistent 10 mph headwind - 7.7 mpg

I've seen my mileage go up in my truck from the day I bought it. My city driving it still averages 15 mpg, hand calculated. But on my trip to Kansas City last weekend, I got just over 19 mpg hwy, hand calculated. My truck has close to 3600 miles on it now, and it's 100% stock.

My truck got got 16-20mpg.
Then i put a 4.5" lift and 35" tires on. Now I get 10-12
It looks bad a*s but I kinda wish i didn't lift it now!

I am in about the same problem you are. Say what are your gears?
Mine are 3.31's I believe that is alot of the problem. Thinking in the future i may re-gear to 3.55's to offset the tires.
But we will see this week how the millage is after I install my H&S

[goodoleboy]

I have 3.55 gears in mine.
I also have H&S tuner, 5" strait pipe, and AFE intake
