Fuel Mileage??
 
Im sure its been asked a hundred times on here but....can yall give me a little idea on what the ford/dodge/chevy 1/2 ton trucks are gettin on fuel. Preferably no what the digital gauge always says but actual miles/fuel. I have a tacoma but really have the want to get rid of it to get a full size truck. Thanks in advance

I have a new Ford F-150 with the 3.5L Ecoboost engine.
My wife gets 21 mpg in town and 24 mpg on the hwy.

05 Ford F150 17 highway 12 town. Dont let a trailer hit the ball ,you lose 3-4 mpg instantly.

Find a dealer of each and take one home for the weekend and then choose. Bolton will do it so use that on Navarre or all-star , mark. 2011 fords have the most free-board of any trucks out there.

2004 Chevy, small V-8 21-23mpg. I don't know what I get in the city. I stay out of cities.

05 Dodge 2500 5.9 diesel, 4x4 , 35in. MTz's cool air intake, superchips flashpaque tuner, 373. rear end. 19-21mpg highway 55mph to 65mph. 16-18mpg 70mph-85mph. 13-15mpg city, and 14mpg with any 22-24ft. bayboat in tow. All real world calculations, not the lying computer in the roof, that would be more like 23-28mpg. yeah rite!

Ducktrickster 09-01-2011 09:15 PM

Don't know how you guys get such high mileage. Had an 02 dodge 1500 5.9 litre averaged 12 over the time I had it. Now I have a 2010 chevy crew 4wd. In about a year and a half, my computer reads 13.8.

all star rod 09-01-2011 09:35 PM

I have a 2011 chevy 1500 crew cab 4x4...18 on istate and 13 city. Hard to believe the fords get almost 25 on the istate even going 55. Pulling my boat I get 11 to 12.
