1. EPA regulations require MFG'ers to maximize fuel economy, and LT tires don't do that.
Towing, I actually got my average fuel economy on them. In fact maybe a bit better considering I drove through some good wind. I got 10.5 mpg. My high is 11.0 mpg with this truck over the last few years.
When I had the
2010 F150, looks identical to this except no chrome package, I got between 10 - 10.5 mpg with the lower powered 5.4L 3V.
The difference is the 2010 came with true All Terrain tires, the
Michelin LTX A/T 2 passenger tires. They weren't as quiet as the
Goodyear Wrangler SR-A passenger tires on my 2012 but were so much better in the snow and off the pavement. Ford said the 2012 was suppose to come with All Terrain tires but gave me the Goodyear Wrangler SR-A street tires, most likely for mileage as you said.:R
Commuting, maybe about 1/2 a mile to 1 mile loss compared to the Wranglers but it's too soon for a definite result as my routes have changed and I just now settled on an air pressure.
