Pretty dismal, usually 9-10 in town, 14 on the highway. These are empty numbers, but winter driving (I keep the hubs locked in all winter which might cost me 0.5-1mpg).
Now that I have 11k on the truck, this summer I expect maybe 11 in town and 15-16 highway.
Is your 150 an Ecoboost or 5.0?

In 2011, the Harley Davidson (my truck) the Lariat Limited and Raptor had the 6.2L standard, optional on the other F-150's. It's hard to find that engine option now, the nearest one to me right now is 300 miles away in Arkansas.

Just out of curiosity, why do you guys want to go more than 100mph in a pickup? The F-150 might be OK, but man, a 4-wheel drive Super Duty is not designed to go fast like that. The slightest corner becomes scary if you hit any kind of a bump....
That being said, I'll probably add the 5-star tuner to my truck once the powertrain warranty expires. Not for top speed, but just for better midrange power and to eliminate the stupid throttle reduction until 3500RPM, etc.

No surprise running the diesel - they don't pull that hard at the top of the range - just mountains of torque in the lower / mid ranges. 6.2L pulls hardest near its top end. Horsepower generates top speeds, and here the 6.7 / 6.2 are pretty equal.
Yeah, I imagine driving in TX is very different than the narrow, winding hills of NH, although our Interstates aren't bad (still plenty of bends). Always wanted to see the state.

The scenery in W. and S. Texas is much different than N.H by far. We were up in the Vermont,N.H. area about 20 years ago in the spring. It was very beautiful and I learned a valuable lesson. We rented a cabin by a lake in Vermont one weekend. It was a nice warm day and my new wife and I went out on the pier. She laid out sun tanning and me, well I shucked off my shirt and jumped in.........it was the coldest most breath taking dive of my life. I never knew a lake could be so cold. I made a hasty exit to say the least Most definelty different than the ponds I was used too

Haha yeah, lakes stay cold here for much of the year. Late July and August aren't bad. We often travel a couple of hours to the ocean and that is always cold, but once you force yourself to stay in it and get all wet, it starts to feel warm and can be an invigorating experience.
