Re: '16 F150 Reply #3 – August 15, 2019, 08:38:25 AM Did the commute into work with it today about 35 miles at 19.1 mpg. Really good and about the same as my GMC Sierra 5.3L with cylinder deactivation. Impressive. Quote Selected

Re: '16 F150 Reply #7 – August 15, 2019, 03:49:48 PM That sounds like great mileage to me! My 06 Silverado 6.0 is a gas eater! Quote Selected

My 06 Silverado 6.0 is a gas eater!But it has torque!!!I do notice the 5.0 in this compared to the 5.3 in my old truck has a little less torque down low so it needs to downshift earlier.Traffic was bad last night and I got stuck in standstill too. Dropped down to 17.9 mpg and now with the ride back to work it is at 19.2 at mid 90 some miles. If I did out by hand I am certain it would be lower since I have been using the remote starter to warm it up. Quote Selected

Or at least make the 6.0 feel like it should and get the same mileage. LOL Quote Selected 1 Likes
Re: '16 F150 Reply #10 – August 16, 2019, 11:34:55 AM I wouldn't ever "warm up" a vehicle in the summer.Start it, let it idle for about 30 seconds, then drive gently for a mile or two.Then again, my last three explorers all had over 175K on them when I got 'em. The 98 now has over 250, the Mountaineer I had before is over 300, and the '06 I've had since March is almost at 180.In the winter, I let em run for a minute or two.Anything else is just wasting gas. Have had several "pros" tell me that, and have no found no evidence that refutes their knowledge. Quote Selected

Re: '16 F150 Reply #12 – August 20, 2019, 09:50:29 AM Sorry I didn't mean to start the debate on warm up of vehicles. Next should I ask what kind of oil to use? LOLI am lazy and don't like to se the windows in the morning during the winter/cold months. I just use the starter when I walk out the door of the house so it might run 1 minute during the summer before I start driving. Quote Selected
Re: '16 F150 Reply #13 – August 22, 2019, 03:10:35 PM 10-30 Nah, in the summer, there's no real need to warm it up. But, you do you I ain't gonna come take your keys from ya LOL Quote Selected 1 Likes
Re: '16 F150 Reply #14 – August 22, 2019, 09:22:50 PM NICE!I really like the 04-08's. The 09-14's kinda turned me off. But the 15+ they really sharpened them up. And that's a great shade of blue. Quote Selected
