Cant remember if I saw a thread on this, have seen many about stock mpg but what kinda mpg is anyone seeing with lifted trucks? From 3 - 6 and 35 tires to 38

curious to hear feed back!

 

All things being equal, you're almost always going to lose mpgs after lifting. You're changing aerodynamics, adding weight, and increasing rolling resistance. You should plan for a several mpg loss. Your only real mitigation to that is lower gears. Hope this helps.

 

How many times are you going to ask this question? If you're worried about mpg's then go buy a car.
What are you going to do if diesel goes over $5/gallon like in 2008? Park it?

 

I haven't asked this question and if I did I haven't received an answer prolly the same response that you just gave me. No I don't care how much fuel costs I'm just curious to see how much MPG a lifted truck like this gets. The only person I've seen say something is a kid on YouTube.

Figured I would ask some people on here since they have lifted trucks.

Sorry to offend you.

 

My average is 7/10.0.. All has to do with short hop's house to house. And when I do travel any distance it's Pulling a loaded dump trailer/bob cat/pallets of stack stone/horse trailer with ease. It is a work truck though. I have a 2016 CCSB XLT F-150 4X4 2.7 for Weekend Home Depot kinda stuff, Average around 15/17mpg. It will be replaced with another 250 this fall.

 

I lost 1 mpg when I leveled ( 2" lift) and added the 35" (295/65R20) Toyo AT/2s

I lost another 1 mpg when I swapped out the Toyo AT/2s for 35x12.5-20 MT tires.

If you go a 6" lift and 37" tiress, I wouldn't be surprised to loose another 1-2 mpg

 

10 in the duelly. 13 on the king ranch. Both with less than 2 k. On the clock. Actually king ranch only has 800. So hoping for better. Lol

 

hell ya. Break out the vette . For the ripping. Be tow vehicles only at that point. Although gas is stuck at 60 or below a gallon it's getting cheaper to extract offshore. And with americas shale fields being tapped. The gas cartel has no choice but to keep them at this threshold. Or our companies can profit off fracking much better.

 

what was you getting before?

 

I ran about 16 mpg for most of my daily driving with 11 when I was towing

Dropped to 15 and 10 mpg with the 35" tires and leveling

Most of my towing is with a 4H GN trailer that has a Hayrack on top and weighs around 13,000 lbs loaded and I'm in Northern Utah, So lots of mountain grades when I tow.

Empty with the OEM tires get on the interstate and set the cruise at 70 mph, I can get 18.0 - 18.5 mpg on a several hour drive. But with any stop and go traffic or lights, the avg drops really fast.

I'm driving a 2015 F350 CC SRW LB with the 3.55. at mostly 5000 foot elevation. So your mileage will vary a little depending on your truck and where you live.

 

rolling on 40's I get 12 ish around town. As high as 16 on highway and as low as 8 towing.

 

I am halfway to the first oil change, 4000 km, on a totally stock truck. Since unloading from the truck, my mileage is showing 14.7 mpg on winter fuel. I have seen as high as 20 mpg so far all highway driving 65 to 70 mph. I have seen as low as 12 all city, cold winter starts, short trips.

So, straight up, lifted on 37s, I think your looking at 8 to 17 lifted, with a 13 average being about as good as your going to get. This will also depend on how hard you lean on the skinny pedal, and how you drive. As always YMMV.

 

Loving the mileage these things get with a lift!

Awesome.

 

Thinking about doing the exact set up on my 2019 F-250 Diesel. Curious is your truck gas or diesel?
Thanks,

 

My last diesel 2008 F350 w/ 3.73 gears....6 inch lift, 37" Toyo MT I got an average of 10-12 mpg...empty maybe better on longer trips but not much
