Does anyone hunt out of a f-150 with the eco boost. I was thinking of getting one but was curious how they do for gas mileage when hunting, also any other pros or cons about them would be appreciated. No one is harder on a truck then a hound hunter so who better to ask. Thanks Jesse

2011 f150 ecoboost, hunting, checking roads, 13 mpg highway 18mpg, pulling any kind of trailer 11mpg at best, traded for a dodge v6, waiting for delivery

Toyota Tundra 5.7 liter. 21 highway, 17.5 average in town or out checking roads.

Fords get the best mileage because they don't run half the time so your good there...

Hey Dean ,best milage ever heard off for tundra,I'm a tocoma driver 22-23+ in summer 18-20 winter depending on temp. cost just as much as ford or dodge'great ride plenty of room.

Dean, I had a friend from Wisconsin that had one a couple years ago and your getting nearly twice the mileage he was.

Have tried many trucks cat hunting best is 14 and that's on a good day must be real unlucky. Andy

Don't feel bad Andy, its the same with me. We have between 8-10 pickups of all makes and models in the woods everyday and if i could find one that got 14 mpg consistently i would buy a bunch of em. I always seem to get about half the mileage other people claim to get. My dad always gets the best mileage of anybody. ha ha ha

ford ranger double cab flat deck 4wd 3.0l diesel plently grunt 9.7l for 100kms so 30 odd mpg

Sounds like I may have to go across the pond to buy a new truck!!!

Scott, if he was getting that poor of mileage, there was something wrong. Over 65 on the highway and the mileage drops on mine to around 16.5. Running roads in 4 wheel drive will also drop it drastically.

Had the crew check the mileage today. 2013 tundra crew cab,5.7 automatic tran. 67 miles round trip.12.86 mpg actual fuel consumption ( not taken off the computer) the computer claimed 16.3 mpg. Just our findings on this pickup

I believe if everyone would do old school miles devided by gallons you will be dissapointed in your milage. Andy

hunting mileage--99 dodge diesel 12.8-13.2 bareground,snow 10.3-11.8
94 gmc diesel 3winters average 12.3 96 tacoma 4cylinder bareground 14.1
2009 dodge diesel all the mileage improvements bareground 12.7

If your computer isn't reading correctly, then you need to calibrate it. I calibrated mine when I bought my truck, then checked it twice, it was within a couple of tenths.
