2019 Ranger MPGs

[Noseoil]

On the 2nd tank now, running a combined city & highway at about 21 mpg. Air conditioner is still being used here, it's still warm out but we should get a bump later this month, when it cools down a bit.

This is running at 6,500' elevation here in Raton, I suspect at lower elevations it may be better...

XLT W/ FX4 and the technology package.

Hit 1000 miles on my way back to GR from the east side of the state. Just installed my soft bed cover, and had reset my mileage before heading out. Drove 25mph for about two miles, then about 15 miles at 55 mph, then the rest was at 70+, mainly around 75, but also a good 45 min-hour at 85. Got off the freeways and went less than a mile before stopping. Ended up getting 22 mpg vs the 20 i had on the way there without the bed cover. I also was carrying probably an additional ~200 ish pounds of cargo.

Somehow the vehicle recorded my average speed as 30 mph, even though i spent about two hours of the drive over 70, and only about 15-20 minutes total at speeds below 55...

I ended up doing 29.5 with 530 miles on my first trip but on my second trip i got 31.6 with 570 miles pretty easly all i did was use 91 fuel and kept it at 65 cruise control im pretty sure i could hit 600 if i tried but its not worth it to me

And how close is the gauge vs hand calc of MPG?

It seemed to be off always by atleast 1 mpg but to be honest with numbers i got i was very pleaseed

Averaging 14.6 ~city miles. I live in a place that you would consider a city, although there’s not a ton of traffic or stop lights.. Just picked up my ranger on Monday (4 days ago), so it only had 137 miles on it total.....

I assume that it is still too early to tell what the actual MPGs are? I drive it really well? And my family complains that I drive really slow, including slow off the line....

I agree I find it to be at least 1 mpg off

So far:
Lariat, FX4, completely stock and pretty loaded, 700 miles (as of 9/5/19)
Averaging 19.8 (by display).
I drive city...really pretty gently. Lots of long coasting to traffic lights. Slow starts, speed limit (always do that anyway).

Must admit that I've punched it a few times and HOLY CRAP! This little 4 banger is a beast. I'm completely thrown back in the seat and am amazed how it pulls just as hard in each gear! I traded a 2014 F150, 5.0 L, 6 1/2' bed, FX4. 4" lift on 33's (Ridge Grapplers). 82,000 miles and this Ranger would SMOKE the F150. I'm VERY IMPRESSED. The F150 NEVER pulled in each gear like this truck.

Now, its obviously new and a really, REALLY peppy, fun little truck ("little" is relative to my lifted F150 that weighed and turned like a bus). I'm having fun now and completely expecting the mpgs to tank until I get my Mario Andretti out of my system (showing my age now). I WILL eventually calm down and drive like a human again. I'm sure when I DO drive normal again, the mpgs will increase.

I did recently take a 400 mile round trip that combined 90% highway (adaptive cruise set to 72 mph) and the rest city with a tiny bit (like 5 miles) of off roading to test the 4WD. That trip average mpg was 24.8. Very impressed.

I expect great things from this truck. Looking forward to a loooong relationship with it.

BTW, I've ordered an A.R.E. Z2 topper with the programmed remote (to the Ranger) lock/unlock and roof rails. Should get that soon. I'm sure that'll affect the MPS a bit but, I don't mind. I'm hoping the added weight will lower the rake a little and make it ride a little better although I love the ride and the pep of this truck. Don't experience the "bounce" members talk about.

Very happy.

Added:. I live in South Florida so I run the A/C 100% of the time.

Haha, the same happened to me, especially after putting the MBRP exhaust on. I know it's mostly psychological, the louder exhaust making the truck seem faster.

As much as I love the 2.7 and first gen 3.5 I previously had, the Ranger flies off the line like no other.

I am averaging 27 mpg so far. Mostly driving in city.But I live in a small town so no real traffic here. Got an xlt supercab sport edition. 27mpg is not hand calculated.

Wow most of you seem to be getting hood numbers. Either o get bad luck with cars or dont know what's going on. I come from a 2015 Volkswagen wagon TDI . Everyone claimed to be getting way over 45 mpgs where I couldn't make it pass 38. And I would be easy on the pedal.
Now with this
2019 lariat fx4 crew cab. I drive an average of 120 miles a day. I cant make it pass 21 mpg. Some tanks are as good as 20.3 but I average 19ish.
No Matter how I drive it. I can baby drive it one complete tank and it be the same as my next tank even if i plunge it.

Take everyone elses fuel economy as just a reference point. I was averaging low 17's for my city commute, but its relatively short with stop lights and some traffic. And thats driving it trying to use best practices for fuel economy. I would guess most of the really good mpg numbers are under very ideal conditions. Also keep in mind, most of the computers seems to be at least 1 mpg off by overestimating. In a 375mile all highway run with cruise control, the computer said I got 25.4mpg, but hand calculated was 23.8ish.
