Car Forum / Ford / Ford Trucks / May 2006new style F150?
Hey all, I'm looking into different trucks I can commute to work in. Buddy of mine has an 05 reg cab 2wd 5.4 SWB and says he gets 20 mpg. I think he's bullshitting. I need something that gets roughly that mileage though. Does the V6 F150 get that well? does 4x4 take away that much from the Fords? (I know it does on Chevys) Are there any major problem areas with this? Do the new F series hold up or should I look elsewhere? thanks TB > Hey all, > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > the > new F series hold up or should I look elsewhere? My '01 Chevy Silverado 4X4 extended cab with the 5.3 auto gets 20 on the hwy, 12.5 to 13 towing my 26' travel trailer at 55 to 60 mph and 17 hwy in the dead of winter when it's below zero....so your comment isn't valid. My '03 D150 with the 4.2L V-6 gets about 14 MPG in the city and 20-22 MPG freeway depending on how fast I drive. > Hey all, > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > TB  Signature********************************************************************************************************************************** David F.

This truck has a cat-back dual exhaust and a K&N cold air intake. Before the intake and exhaust installation best mileage was 15...... But it is the best engine Ford makes, I have 136,000 trouble free miles. Nothing major, just normal maintenance. I would never buy the smaller V-8 nor the V-6.....
