Bought a new F150 yesterday to haul my tractor

[Sysop]

I typically get 22 to 25 miles per gallon going to and from the cottage, empty. That is with a 2016 F150 super crew 4 x 4 with a 5.0 L.

I have never gotten as low as 11 miles per gallon, the matter what I have been towing.

I never have less than 1000lbs in tools and supplies in the truck. Adding that to whatever I tow, and figuring most of my miles are back road mountain climbing with about 30 minutes of runtime between destinations; it's pretty good for the area. Nobody I know of gets 20MPG out of their V8s locally, some do when taking long trips. There are plenty of places around here ya can tow that will shove the MPG of any truck deep into single digits.

Yup. I keep telling her, or anyone who is helping, that if they cannot see me in the side mirror, I cannot see them. Works very well!

Believe me, that was part of the instruction but she wanders out of view while she is watching the action.

Say What ??? My wife has a 2015 screw, 4wd platinum with the 5.0, has NEVER gotten over 16 mpg's... AND SHE DRIVES LIKE AN OLD LADY...

My truck came with that, but it sounds like such a PITA to use that I haven't installed the stickers and what not yet

Do it. Takes about 10 minutes to make and enter the measurements, then a few minutes to calibrate it. Its fun.

Filled for the first time today. Had some miles on towing 10500 within this tank. I got 17mpg. That is all my Tundra got towing nothing. I did reset the gauge a couple times and saw 10mpg got no idea how accurate that is.
