Fuel Mileage?

What is the fuel mileage on the trucks?

I am thinking about getting a STX or FX4 F-150.

many, many posts about this....do a search and you'll find lots of info....

most people wth a 5.4 L 4x4 are getting between 12 and 14 in winter and 14-16 in summer city and a couple better on highway...

Thank you,that's about what I expected.

I guess I'll have to change my driving style so I don't spend one entire paycheck on gas.

yeah....one thing....over the weekend i towed a little over a ton and it didn't change my MPG at all....they actually went up...i've been getting 14....most of my trips are 10 to 12 miles....over the weekend i went a couple hours north and i got .5 MPG better and i had a trailer and my 4 wheeler on the back.....that was good to see because it means i'll do much better on a trip than my 14 i'm getting around town...

Yeah it depends ranges from 12 to 16 or more in the city and 17-20 on the highway it depends on gears and if you drive with a heavy foot currently here they are rated at 16 city 23 highway but usually you get a bit less than what the say so

Go for it i would get one anyways

I've got an '05 FX4 Super Crew with with 5.4L and I drive it about 50 miles highway each way for work for about 100 mi per day. I get about 15mpg on the highway. I've taken it on a couple trips north with a 5x8 trailer with my ATV and still get about the same, maybe a mile per gallon less. Like alot of people say here, unless you're really loaded it shouldn't change much. I think these tanks pull easy!!

I have three week old 07 Supercrew Lariat 5.4L. I just completed a 350 mile round trip consisting of approximately 100 'town' miles...the rest on the road with a few intersections here and there. I got 20.4 mpg from my driveway back to my driveway. Today, I pulled my smaller boat fishing...approx 2400lbs. I came to 58 mph, put the cruise on, zeroed the computer, and averaged a distance of fifteen miles at 14.3 mpg. A one week average through town to work gave me 19.3 mpg overall.

Eric,

What type of gears do you have? Im looking at buying a 2007 but am undecided on whether I should get the 3.55 or 3.73.
