775HP and 18/24 MPG?

[got3fords]

This looks like an awesome truck, but is that MPG rating legit?

When I look it up - that is the MPG rating for a 2.7 EcoBoost V6 haha. I have a feeling the dealer put in a generic code for a F150 into their system. I doubt a 775 HP V8, even with cylinder deactivation, could achieve this.

It's BS. Even the 3.5 EB will struggle to get 18 mpg. You can't go into much boost if you want to get that. Our Rangers struggle to get 20 unless you're driving it as slow as Grandma. On a good day you may get 21 mpg if you're keeping it under boost at 68 mph. That's tough to do in the Interstates.

My 5G got an average of about 23MPG over the 78k miles I had it.

If I remember correctly, TFL truck did a long test of their 2019 Ranger FX4 and they only managed to get 20.5 average. That was a lot of freeway too. Tremors never get better than 20 mpg no matter what you do. I'm sure it can be done to get 22-23 but that's 65 mph on an empty truck. Turbocharged engines only get efficient when they're not at boost. My normally aspirated F150 4WD and stock tires, Coyote + 10R80 would routinely get 21 mpg on the highway at 75 mph. My GMC Sierra 1500 Long bed 2WD with fat tires with 5.3+6-speed got 21-22 at 75 mph. Don't get me wrong these are all good numbers but no way a 775 hp truck is going to get more than 15 mpg.

You were saying.

This is cruise set at 75 mph in my Tremor.

Look at my Sig and I still average 22.6 overall.

My Tremor consistently gets 22-23mpg at 70-75 mph with driver, passenger and full tank. If I do 60-65 I will see 24mpg occasionally

Click on "View Window Sticker" under highlighted features.
The sticker is not the pictured truck. 18 mpg, and no reference to it being a Shelby.

Such a premium price for a few stickers.

That Shelby grille must be worth at least an additional $5,000

What's the old saying. Pay for the name. Another one I remember hearing is, "you get what you pay for."
Okay, my 2 cents worth lol.

And my non tremor ranger has a lifetime average of 14.1 got 24 the first week. Got a wrench light limped home took to dealer on Monday. A week later it comes back at 14mpg. I get 20 coming down the mountain and only then.

How is that possible? EPA rates the Tremor at 19 mpg City and Highway. Are you reading the computer? Or calculating? The Ranger Computer is known to be very optimistic. TFL truck testing showed their computer would read 22-23 mpg but their actual was 20 at best. If your figures are calculated mpg please tell me the secret! The best I've ever seen on my Tremor was 19.8 mpg and that's with CC at 75 mph. Same as you: two people, full tank, our luggage. In the city it's the same hovering around 19 mpg just like the EPA sticker says. That's calculated not the computer.

my hand calculations w/ 32" tires comes out to 20 on average. That's based on under reported mileage due to the truck having the wrong tire size reporting the miles traveled divided by actual gas used. It definitely plummets the more im in the city.. and i avoid that.

Well, we didn't buy our trucks for fuel efficiency. It's nice to have fuel efficiency but if that comes at the expense of driving it like a Nissan Sentra with CVT, screw that! I want power and speed and I'm willing to pay. LOL!
