2000 mile report
I just passed 2000 miles on the 2015 crew cab with the longer box.
It is 4X4
5lt.
3.55 locking rear end
It's feeling more like mine everyday,
We keep trucks 10/12 years so we were really used to the last one.
It's gets 22 on the interstate with the cruise on. The old truck had a 5.4 and we got 18/19
The bucket seats are still a little to stiff for my " bucket" but it's new and not broken down yet.
Had a problem with the doors not latching in the cold, but I think that's fixed
Why they jacked the truck up so high,I don't know,it is higher than the old truck, but next spring I'm going to drop it 2" front,4" back. Could be the sport package, but it is higher.
It needs bud flaps bad,as the snow and slush build up on the running boards, there different than the last truck.
All in all a very nice truck

Glad to here your new truck is operating like you want it to.
My 2015 XLT has about 1,348 miles so far. Gas Milage is a little low at 13.5, but most driving is in town driving, a lot of bumper-to-bumper traffic. I always jump on the freeway on Sunday and run the truck at 60-65 mph for awhile and the milage always inches up one notch. So i know i will get better milage as she breaks in!! All in all very happy with my 2015 XLT Also!!

just over 1500 on mine mostly mixed driving and averaging mid 17's. I've noticed with the fuel monitor that cruise control killed the mileage so I've not been using it. We will be taking our 1st trip in it to Myrtle beach next week so I will probably do a tank w/ cruise and w/o out just to see the difference....really hoping I can get 22+.

Did a 1700 mile trip to Vegas. Got exactly 20 mpg there and 21.8 mpg back.
With 3500 miles on the engine my daily average is 17.9.
The display has been very accurate so far, never more than .2 mpg off calculated.

18.5 mixed driving here too. Just passed 5k miles. The truck seems more responsive the last couple times I've driven it. Pulls hard at 3/4 throttle, very nice torque. Fuel mileage also seems to be evening out. It was up and down the first few thousand miles.
