    2016-2017 F150 4x4 EcoBoost - Real world experiences??

    There is no way the 3.5 EB and the V8 gets the same mileage. At least not the ones I have driven. In my experience the 3.5 gets about 2-3 mpg better economy. This is at 5000 plus field elevation.

    Have a look at any map from Grand junction CO to west yellowstone NP. Hwy 191 most of the way. The picture is from real hwy @ around 65mph ( simply because that was the speed limit) and then numerous mountain passes.

    I see around 18-19 in the city, and if you push @80 mph the mpg drops.... but the trucks sweet spot is 65mph, where I routinely see mid 20's.

    Correct. All 2018 will have the 10 speed. It skips a few gears as you accelerate, but it also allows for a very low cruise rpm while @65 mph.

    I see now what you meant. I guess mine don't do that, but as my added bumper is very close I don't have but 1/2 inch clearance between the door and bumper. I wonder what torqued to flex the door downward.

    Ha ha ha...... right. Didn't think of that. :) In reality this was the vision I had when I bought it a few years ago. As it sits here I think I am about just under 10k into it as she sits. Best swiss army trailer ever.

    I really would like to loose the big OEM wheel spacers and perhaps replace them with a pair..... even if that means a different set of drums and in that process bring each wheel inward 3 inches. Any ideas of what will fit?
