yea my truck is the limited and the white definitely has a tad of pearl in it. My 10yr boy wanted me to get a raptor but I fell for the 22" wheels and the classic classy look of the F150.

I'm thinking about level and Falken 33s on my 18" wheels once these Goodyears wear out.

Can anyone comment on size/type tires and mpg lost on 6.7 powerstroke? I know it wont feel them unhooked, but concerned about towing.

You are about to hate your mileage. And that's coming from someone content with 15 mpg on 33s.


Yep, Had the same truck in a 2015 5.0 with 35's and power sucked as well. I noticed a HUGE difference in both went I went back to 6 ply 33's.
Rocking that HEMI now BAW.

Are you calculating actual fuel used? I think the computer generated MPGs get fricky when you put bigger tires and don't change the speedo gear.

These types of tires are significantly heavier than stock plus bigger and significantly more traction/ resistance to rolling. They kill mileage. I have 33” cooper st maxx on my tundra and it hit my mileage hard.




This.

i just went to BFG KO-2's a couple of weeks ago on my Silverado. After the sluggish braking, mpg drop and less than stellar handling I just had them swapped today for Continental Terrain Contact AT's. World of difference in ride, braking and curious to see mpg increase over KO-2's. But so far very impressed .

To the Op nice looking truck....should take it into the mud sometime

Looks great. Be happy with your mpg. I have an old excursion with 6.8L gasser to pull my camper and tote my kids around town....

I'm hoving in the mid 14s. I knew going in it was gonna take a hit, but I have a work vehicle and don't drive it often. Hell it's a 2015 and I have just over 30k miles on it.

2019 F-150 with 2.5” level and 35x12.5x20 Toyo Open Country and no rub

Had 2015 F-150 with 2” level with 275/65/20 KO2’s. It was Green Gem, loved that color but they did away with it.
