First Upgrades

Hello,

I am coming back from overseas and will have to start commuting to the office. Wanted to see what the best upgrades would be for a boost in MPG.

The Truck:
2010 F-150 Crew Cab FX4
5.4L with trailer tow package
36,0000 (just ran out of warranty, hints the mods)

The truck is my daily driver and tow vehicle for my Shelby. I have put a K&N in it but that's it. Also, don't mind changing out the exhaust, but nothing obnoxious. I hunt in it too and there is nothing like a loud *** truck to scare off all the critters. Thanks for the help.

As long as you keep the converters on,any good high flo muffler will help and wont be too loud.
Maybe a hard tonneau cover
Maybe a front spoiler off a newer truck

x2 on this. Intake and exhaust will net negligible (if any) differences compared to driving habits.
