Problem?

I have a new 2006 F250 cc 4x4 Harley /20" tires, it does not seem to have the head snapping accelation that my '05 F250 extended cab 2wd had also don't get as good as fuel milage. Could this be a problem or is it just due to differences in 2wd and 4wd also larger tires. I am unfamilliar with 4wd this is my first.
also is ther any way to change the null area of the throttle pedal I have about 2" of dead pedal on the '06 and only about a 1/2 " on the '05.

The 20" is just rim size not tire diameter.

What is your mpg loss. I would guess 2-3. Considering you went from 2wd to 4wd, extended cab to crew cab, 17 or 18 inch to 20's which have 34 inch tires. I would consider that normal. The increase weight of the truck and wheel/ tire combination will cause your loss in mpg.

Yes it is about a 3mpg loss, and yes I know 20" was just the rim size I havent measured the tires so I didn't know. P.S. how do you do your tag line.

Mine is a 2006 F-250 Harley Davidson Dark Torreodore red with black flames.

According to the tape measure, the tires that came on my 20's are a little under 33" which is about the same as a 235/85/16 isn't it?

235/85/16 are 31.73 inches tall, the tires that come with the factory 20's are 275/65/20 are 34.07 inches tall, if you measure them while they are on the ground they probably will measure less depending on the air pressure of the tire.
