My 2021 powerboost has a 30.6 gal tank. Average 25mpg around town, as much as 29mpg highway cruising at 60-65 mph. I know when I tow my Travel trailer it will drop to 9-10mpg.
Phew what was your DTE reading?
No, standard tank is 30.6 gal. Instead of saying standard tank they could have said standard tank 30.6 gal. They list the extended range as 36 gal extended range. Even the two dealers I contacted when first looking at a new powerboost said it was a 23 gal tank. That wasn’t going to work for me pulling the travel trailer which at best gets 9 mpg with my ‘14 Ecoboost.
My '12 5.0 had the 36 gallon extended tank. Only a few weeks since getting my '22 PB and I'm already exceeding the max tank miles I'd get from the old truck (despite 5.1 gallons less fuel), and have a lot more power/torque at my disposal. Gotta love tech advancement
Really? That’s good to hear! I’m trading my 2012 for a Powerboost as well. My 2012 has the 3.5 and 36 gal tank and in the winter I’m lucky to get 17 on the hwy, going 72-74 mph on a long road trip. 570-610 miles was about all the range I’d get. Hoping the Powerboost does better. The rental Powerboost I drove last summer got 22 going 80 mph, driving across Texas and New Mexico!! I was blown away!
I have gotten 29-30 on cruise control at 60mph with my 2021 powerboost XLT letting all the speedy gonzalis drivers just pass me by from Myrtle Beach, SC to Stratford, CT. No rush when your retired, 70 yrs old and saving gas and that pension money for my kids inheritance. LOL
My truck’s prev owner installed a set of Nitto Ridge Grapplers just before selling. They are loud & HEAVY. I’m expecting my MPG/range to get better after I install a set of Michelin Defender LTX M/S 2 next week. They are supposedly around 21 lbs PER TIRE LIGHTER. Reducing all that rotating mass should make a noticeable difference. One thing to keep in mind when everyone is discussing their results is these trucks vary so much based upon tire/lift kit changes.
I think that is a reasonable expectation, considering my avg. tow mpg is 8.xx, pulling the same weight but a lot less aerodynamic. There is some curve to the nose but the camper is 11'-4" tall and 8' wide.
Good choice in tires, I’m on my second set right now. In fact, since they have less than 10k miles, I’m swapping them out with the tires on the new truck since it has 34k on them. They outperform all but 1 brand of all-terrains (barely) in snow and ice. I dunno why they still don’t have a severe snow service rating.
