WELCOME JON! I get roughly 18 with the Predator in 65hp mode and MBRP exhaust, if I drive normal - BUT I have a VERY hard time keeping my foot out of it. If I put the rig in the 100hp mode it sucks fuel like you couldn't image.....but it's amazing to drive.  I doubt you'll be disappointed with the the truck you mentioned - I LOVE mine!!!!! I've seen polls where quite a few people claim to get 20 to 21 driving normal, not towing and not getting on it.

Jon, Welcome. I've been able to eek out as best as 23 MPG on the highway, no towing, but normally more like 21-22. I have no mods other then the MBRP exhaust, right now. Around town I can get between 18 and 20 MPG, depending on how I drive. Much better then my friends with their gas F-150's. That's why I went with the PSD. By the way, the exhaust didn't change my mileage. Ice

Jon, ECSB - Extended Cab Short Bed.  I'm in eastern NC, so a little above sea level and I drive around 70 on the interstate, and that's where I get 21-22. Go faster, the worse it gets. Doing around 60 on the rural highways get me up to the 23 range. Ice

i get about the same, 18 ish in town (30 mph) just over 20 on the highway and 12mpg pulling a 6,000 pound trailer from Oregon to South Carolina at 70. besides the intial price every thing will be cheaper for daily use excepting the nearly 4 gallons of oil that needs to be changed every 5 to 7.5 thousand miles.

You will LOVE the truck!!! I get 15.8 around town. I need a good highway run on my baby, which it really hasn't had. It is hard to keep my foot out of it. Have I mentioned that I LOVE my truck?!

You talk about getting it out on the highway - I love taking long trips in this thing. Getting behind the wheel of this bad girl on the highway is just amazing. It's big, comfortable and SO fun to drive!
