Something Doesn’t add up there.

I had an ecoboost that was about to blow up, but would have bought another one no problem. But I wanted another V8 so I went that route on my 22. Also with 3.73 rear end and 35”s I get just over 20mpg on the highway at a reasonable speed.

Well I would think the same except ford doesn’t agree with us. This tremor has less than 6k on the truck and averages 11.8 and the best I can do mpg wise is 15 if I get to 60 mph and set cruise at 60. Then it actually won’t hit it either. Only gets around 14.8 to 9.

It’s a kick in the nuts as I bought it in the hopes the gas mileage would be better than my tundra and jeep

It isn’t even close.

Like I said, the truck is super nice and I like everything about it

Gripes are mpg and the damn door won’t stay open when I go to get out. If I swing it open it just swings right back closed.

Hard to explain that without showing but it is another issue that gets you at the worst times
