Poll: Powerboost Fuel Efficiency

[RossRR]

Thought it would be interesting to see what these hybrid trucks are getting for fuel mileage in real world.

I probably should have expanded the poll to differentiate 2WD vehicle from 4WD vehicles.

Winter I'm getting 21-22 mpg, summer is 23-25 mpg, lifetime is 23 mpg currently. 4×4 Lariat

Average over the past 5K miles is 24.8 on an FX4 with a 2.5" front level.

Poll is flawed, because I can get all of the options, depending on how I'm driving the truck. I enjoy the power, I could careless about MPG....

That would have helped some. All the extra 4x4 equipment must have some penalty. Of course Larger than OEM tires and lifted trucks probably exact a penalty also.

I just drove 350+ miles and got over 24 MPG according to the trip computer. So maybe a bit less on paper but I'm thrilled with that

We are going to have vastly different numbers based off use case. When I’m going to and from work easily 23-25mpg. When I’m towing a trailer, hauling our slide in camper, or using the truck as a generator (all fairly often occurrences) then well below 23. Life of the truck is 20.6, and I use every bit of the capability of the powerboost.

22 mpg over 15k miles with about 1500 towing, a bunch idling, 6 roadtrips, and allot of daily 30 mile each way commute on stock 33 wheels, tires, and rake. Now leveled, 20 lbs more per 34 wheel getting about 19 mpg but no longer looks like "old man truck" per the kids. ?

Today’s trip from Nag’s Head NC to Richmond VA. Stock ‘21

Didn't look at lifetime. But, springtime recent checks (four over the last week) is 24+ MPG.

 

[HammaMan]

I'm leveled on 34"s LTs and can get over 24 MPG in-town.

You really want to look at stock stance trucks with factory-similar tires if you're comparing. Levels / tires / and front airdam removal change the variables.

19-20mpg average with heavier wheels/tires/level

I usually average between 19.5 and 21. This is with limited driving in about the worst situation.

Stop, punch it when the light turns green, drive a 1/2 mile and do it all over again. Lots of stops and starts and I don't "grandma" the gas petal at take off. I have had the truck (2022) for about 17 months and have 3800 miles on it. Not ideal driving situation and the longest trip was 1100+ miles back from Granger when it was new. This is barely broken in, if it even is. All 2wd driving as I have not had the need for 4wd yet.

I do think the wide variance of reported MPGs is interesting.

I get neither the spectacular mileage of the high 20s and above, that I've occasionally seen here, or other than in winter, or towing, anything sub 20. Day to day, is usually low to mid 20s, on regular fuel and being mindful of smoothness but not so much as its a chore to do. I did try eco mode for a couple weeks but didn't notice enough gain to justify the hassle of telling the truck, each time, to stay there.

Since the day to day on my last truck was 16 mpg, with far less capabilities, I'm thrilled.
