Topic: Fuel mileage Posted: 09 Apr 2017 at 8:44pm |
We will be purchasing 179 later this summer. I will be pulling with a 2012 F150 4x4 5.0
We currently average about 18.3 miles per gallon. Do any of you pull
With this truck and I hat kind of mileage do you get?

We have a chevy 1500 and just did a trip of 3675 and our average was 10 to 13 mpg but we had head winds almost every day.

I think you can figure on around 11.0 to 13 mpg. A lot depends on the terrain, headwinds, speed, and total weight.

We tow our 179 with a Ram 1500 with the 5.7 liter Hemi. We are towing in the flatter parts of eastern NC and are usually seeing 13-14 Mpg.

You will get 11-13. Pay it no mind and go on about having a good time.

I tow my 179 with a Dodge 3500 1 Ton Mega Cab. Not towing I get about 13 mpg, towing the 179 I get the same thing. The only difference is the speed I drive. Not towing I average 70 mph and towing 60 mph.
Why do I use such a big truck? Because I also, tow my 39 foot Montana 5th wheel with it.

When towing in the mountains, don't pass a gas station. 2007 semi Dodge PU.

I use an 09 F150 5.4L for our 179; more than adequate power (using the tow/haul button), but uses more fuel- 10-13 mpg

[QUOTE=furpod]You will get 11-13. Pay it no mind and go on about having a good time. Indeed, I have on a couple occasions used our 1994 F-150. It also has the 5.0 L V-8, stick shift, 309,000 miles and 31 deer kills. Mileage, 12 mpg. Both our Explorers, '08 and '13, average is 12 to 12.5 mpg. Go and enjoy. Be thankful we aren't having prices like we did in 2014. On our way to RMNP we often paid 4.29/gallon in the midwest and Colorado.
