2018 F-150 5.0 V-8, I've had it for six months and 7500 miles. Averaged 19.0 mpg, during that time frame. Both highway and around town. Really impressed with the mileage on the highway if you don't drive it to hard, gets up to 24 mpg.

2004 Ford F250 PSD 6.0 L diesel. I can get 20 without the camper on it. With the 4000 pound camper I get 13.5 if I keep it at 60MPH. If I pull my two place trailer with two atv’s in it it goes down to 11.5-12 mpg. I bullet proofed it after 110,000 trouble free miles. Going to a 4” exhaust and getting rid of the catalytic converter gained me about 2mpg.

Toyota 4Runner trail edition, 2016 model. Have 66000 on the truck, and have tracked my mileage from day one with fuelly and I’ve averaged 21.5 for the life of the truck. High of 24.7 and low of 19.5. First 40k on the truck were with factory tires, last 26k have been with BFG KO2’s that are factory recommended size. Suspension is stock and haven’t changed anything on the truck.

I drive conservatively. One thing I’ve noticed after owning this truck while living in Alabama, Colorado, and Kentucky, is that gas mileage was consistently 1-2mpg better in high elevations running 85 octane vs low elevation running 87. Best mileage ever was while I was driving to a from a scouting trip along I-70 in the mountains.

I own a ram and my computer tells me how great my MPG are. Unfortunately, Ram's computer is off by 2-3 MPG on average. I have confirmed this with 4 other 2014 and newer rams and ALL 5 of our vehicles are off by 2-3 MPG. Newer Ram owner's do the math next time you fill up, ( preferably at the same pump) and I am sure you will be disappointed.
I did the math dozens of times. My Ram would be generous and give me an additional .5 mpg consistently. The numbers I quoted were actual mileage and I assume many others of all makes considered this too. Most folks know not to trust the truck gauge.

“stock” (factory lift, 33” tires, winch, lockers, and 4:10’s)
6.4L

Average 11.5 MPG for all driving

I do use all the “stuff” pretty regularly and would guess a 50/50 use of hi way vs off road use. I love the truck comfortable and super capable, but what a gas pig.

I do not drive with any intention on saving fuel. I just go.

  • 13mpg overall on the average tank with mixed city/highway
  • 16mpg on the highway @80mph
  • 9-10mpg in “hunting mode” with 2 adults, gear, 14’ utility trailer and CanAm Defender Max

2012 Ram Laramie Limited 20" stock rims running Cooper AT3 don't do a lot of city driving but avg between 16-17 depending on the season, truck likes warmer temps and have averaged over 20 mpg at 50 mph in the summer time. As these are off-road tires off road mileage drops dramatically to 11-13 mpg as does towing the tandem dog trailer 13-14 mpg
