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.

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!

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.

Or at least make the 6.0 feel like it should and get the same mileage. LOL 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.

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 scrape 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.
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 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.
