Gas Mileage for F150 5.4

Newbie question:

I'm trying to get a handle on what to expect for gas mileage. My "new" 2007 Maxlite 23RS will be pulled with my F150 CrewCab 5.4. Is there a rule of thumb as to what to expect?

Good travels,

  • 8 mpg! Ford F-150 are built strong but for pulling a Heavy Camper the gas mileage sucks.
    I wouldn't Trade it for the world.
  • Had a 2006 5.4 SCab F-150 pulling a 22'/5,000# TT for 4+ years. Consistently got 11+ using a Scan Gauge which educated my right foot. Just go light on the gas, especially off the line and you might even see 12 once and a while.
    :C
  • just pray you don't have a head wind. we had a head wind this year from Yuma all the way home. cost me $1500 for gas.
  • I get 9 or 10 pulling my trailer. I have 3.55 gears and rarely run in overdrive.
  • 6-9

    Average will be around 8....

    Gasses all seem to be about the same.
  • I'm pulling a larger unit (2009 Conquest 295BHS), but I'm getting anywhere from 25L/100km to 20L/100km or 9-11 MPG with my 2010 F-150 5.4 Crew. Really depends on where (hills or flats) you're pulling.
    Since I live in western Alberta I generally expect the crappier side of fuel mileage due to the whole mountains thing in this area.
