2004-08 4x4 5.4L F150 owners step in please

[Coiled03]

What kind of mileage are ya'all getting? EPA rating for these things is 14 city, and 18 highway, but the EPA ratings are known to be wildly off at times.

I had an '01 5.4L 4x4 that only got about 12mpg in town, I think. So, what are your experiences? The reason I ask is because I'm thinking about buying one this week.

 

[supachargd2k5]

I was getting high 12's low 13's before i put my bigger tires on the truck.

ALL DEPENDS ON HOW I DRIVE IT....I actually no lies saw 18mpg yesterday on 253mi trip I used 14.004 gals on 87 octane.....typically in past I like to hear my exhuast too much and have to heavy of a foot and see around the 14 mark on the highway....Def a noticeable diff if ya keep it uder 70mph for sure.

in town forget about it!! 10ish for sure! Just drinks it from accel and decel so much!!!

 

[Hrbdizzle]

I have an 07 4x4 with the super cab. The most I have ever gotten out of a tank on the freeway was 410 miles. I have a 27 gallon tank.

Now around town and city driving I average about 300-320 per tank.

[STR8JAKT]

i have 05 Lariat supercab, 12-13 mpg town 15-16 highway on a good day. i'm in the gas pretty good most of the time. Last couple of months it gets diven a lot less and i find myself in the old ladies Acura. :shrug:

 

[02YZ125]

I get 13-14 pretty much no matter what I do UNLESS the whole tank is on the freeway then maybe 15. 11 if Im towing.

 

[Posi]

07 Supercrew here and city driving pretty much average 13.6 mpg exactly every tank. I have a k&N FIPK and an X-cal on it. Highway driving it depends but it'll get over 15 very easy. Best of about 18.

 

[cobrasearching]

im back to getting 14 again with my 305/65/18's had the 325/65/18's on 18x9 rims and was only getting 11.-----3.55 gears 2004 xlt supercab 4x4 5.4

OH AND ITS FOR SALE TOO

 

[Adltdrvn]

I just traded in my 03 Cobra for an 08 Supercrew Lariat in this same color. Same 20" wheels and all. I don't have the cap or step bars yet.

I miss the cobra already, but this truck rocks!! :rockon:

On the open highway the computer was showing 20-22 mpg @ 60 mph. Stop and go driving I saw 12.

Oh yeah. It has the 3.73 LSD.

 

[Tedisky]

I am averaging 15 with a mix of highway and city. The truck is an 05 4x2 sc Lariat.

 

[Fuerza]

I average right around 14. I haven't taken any road trips to calculate highway miles.

 

[JWC]

I get 16.4 to 16.8 in town and 19.4 to 19.8 on the highway. My 08 4 x 4 , SC Lariat is not stock. Mine has an X3 tuner with custom dyno tunes, AF1 intake, and Roush exhaust. Stock it averaged 14.5 -14.8 in town.

 

[WVUAnt]

I have an 04...5.4l, extended cab, 4x4, 3.55 gears...Lariat package with 18" wheels. In mixed driving I am getting 16.0mpg. That is driving like an old lady. On the highway, 18mpg is a reality with longer trips. If you have a heavy foot and have to be the winner at every red light or would rather be in front of someone during a merge, rather than wait for the faster to pass, expect around 14mpg. Keeping it under 75mph helps a ton too.

It really depends on how heavy your foot is. It could be anywhere from 12 to 18mpg

 

[BayouFX4]

I have an 06 FX4 SuperCab with 285/65R18s, and I just got a personal best of almost 17mpg on my trip from Baton Rouge. I get between 13 and 14 in the city. Strictly highway driving 70 and under got me my best mileage. I also have an Edge tuner, flows, and K&N. I upped my tire pressure to 40lbs and that improved my mileage by 2 mpg. It definately hurt my ride though. I've been driving like an old man lately.

 

[SilvGT]

i get roughly 13.5 city not really sure highway cause i never really use it.

 

[Svets96]

Wish I had one to tell what milage I get. Hopefully soon though.

 

[2814v]

Did you get the truck? To answer your question, I get between 13 and 14 mostly city and 14 to 15 mostly highway. I have a 2006 supercrew 4x4 king ranch, it does everything but scratch my nutts and get good fuel mileage. I have a airaide CAI, magnaflow exhuast and custom tunes by troyerperformance on an sct xcal 3. Besides the power and better shifting I got with his tunes I also picked up a solid 1 to 2 miles per gallon.

 

[69deluxe]

Have an '05 FX4, 5.4L, 4X4, supercab, 5.5'bed that is all stock. I average 15mpg consistently in town. On a long distance trip with cc at 70 MPH, i actually saw 20mpg.

 

[JWC]

2814V I had Troyers custom dyno tune my F150 with the X3 and 3.5" AF1 unit and with that and now the added Roush exhaust (didn't re-tune) I am getting 2-4 more MPG's than you what tune are you running on?
