I got a hellofa offer on my 10' from Carmax...I'm actually thinking about taking it too. I really like the truck....nicest truck I think I've ever had, but the MPG is awful in this thing. Still a tough call though.70' Chevelle RagTop

Last time I checked it was downhill from Colorado to FTW. I got 21 last summer in my 5.4 '03 Supercrew pulling a trailer with a quad, with my enduro in the bed.. A previous poster said he got 25 on a trip to Houston?Originally posted by TX_92_Notch View PostAs an EcoBoost owner, I call bullshit. 99% of Eb owners can't even come close to those numbers on flat ground with no trailer, much less in the mountains with a load.

avg about 13-14 on gasoline, around 10 on E85....the display usually shows 15-16 (always optimistic). Recently took a trip to Tulsa by myself, nothing more than a ice chest and a duffle bag...setting the cruise 70-75 the whole way....got a little under 17. Not terrible, but last year on the same trip in my Dodge I had the wife and all her crap, towing my Mustang on the trailer, floor jack and some tools too....it got 17 loaded. I know that's an apples and oranges comparison though.Originally posted by SNEAKY View Postwhat are you getting and what motor?70' Chevelle RagTop

Im getting some weathertechs soon. They are $200 thoughOriginally posted by lincolnboy View PostAny one got any weather proof floor mats for an 2011 f150
The rear mat is the most important part for me with the dogs in the back. Lots of people say Aries mats are better but they dont make them for the 2011 yet with the 2 post floor mats.

I put weathertechs in all of my trucks, well worth the money. I haven't ever seen the Aries, but don't get Huskys they say the are the same as weathertech, but I got a set for a work truck and they don't fit near as well.Originally posted by 8mpg View PostIm getting some weathertechs soon.

I've never checked mine by hand, but the display usually says 12-12.5. I'm sure the 35's, 4.10 gears, 4x4 and my driving style doesn't help though lol.Originally posted by OrangeChevyII View PostBuddy of mine bought a 2011 Limited, 6.2. It's a nice truck but it averaged 7.8 mpg pulling his boat a few weeks ago. He said it normally gets around 15 empty. I am sure it'll get better after it has some more miles.

I would look into a set of catch all floor mats. I've had mine for 6 years(3 trucks). The only problem I had was that my big(size 15)foot lands just behind where the heel pad ends - the heel finally wore all the way through. I called them up and they replaced both front mats at no charge.Originally posted by lincolnboy View PostAny one got any weather proof floor mats for an 2011 f150.
