I have a 06 f150 with 33 Toyos on it and I'm getting 13. I haven't changed the fuel filter since I bought it bran new. I gues I need to do that soon. Heck I might even 13.5 after that!

my new toyota tundra has the big v8, loads of power. 18 mpg hwy 16 city. aint towed with it yet. its got 33 in tires and 20 in rims.
my buddy has the same truck , towes a 26 ft wellcraft(8,000 lbs loaded) and he gets 11 mpg @ 65 mph.
so im hoping a 2500-3000 lb bayboat load will give me about 13-14.....

Ford = Fuel. My 2010 drinks the gas but pulls my boat like no other. Makes about 14 and that is a stretch. When I hook the boat to it I do not even check e mileage. Do not want to ruin a good fishing trip. I do have bigger tires and a level kit. My 2002 was the same way. No 4x4 with any power does much on gas milage

i had the same problem on my 04 lariat 5.4. Changed fuel filter and spark plugs. A lot more throttle response and a little better gas mileage. The truck does have 105,000. Was at 13mpg before change now avg 16mpg. I chopped old fuel filter open it was DIRTY

"W" I like your taste in trucks. Mine is an 07 with a 5.4. 113K miles and get about 15 mostly city and about 11 towing the boat. Had to get rid of my truck with the 4.6 after I bought the boat. It just wouldn't do it and got about 7 towing.

Man y'all complaining about 13-16 mpg?? When I drove my old '87 Chevy with the 350 it would make 8 on the highway. Talk about I was excited to see my '02 Chevy get double digits (10mpg)!!! Now my '08 Chevy averages 13.5 city and I couldn't be happier. If you want fuel mileage buy a Prius. Although when my buddy pulled my boat with his Eco-Boost it made almost 15. I was really impressed with it.
