1999 F-150 SC 5.4L, 4x4, Off-road, AT. Sounds a lot like yours, huh? 14K miles. I typically get 15 and 18 mpg. Getting better as the weather warms up. I believe that some areas use a special winter blend of gasoline (I believe to keep the fuel from freezing, anyone correct me if I am wrong) and this gas usually gives less mpg. As winter leaves, expect to pick up a mpg or two. My mileage got better as it broke in too. If you want to further increase your mileage, try a tonneau cover. I got one (~$150 from Ford Dealer) and it increased mileage another 1 or 2 mpg. I don't have it on now, though, and my last fill up, 16 gallons, all city was 15 mpg.
Thanks,
Hoping in Seattle, aka, Ron
Is the 7700# payload option needed for the 8000# trailer capacity, or is this simply an option to increase the actual pickup truck payload?
I'm looking so as to pull about 6000# TTrailer.

Keep an open mind. Who knows, you might really like the Ford. I personally believe it is a good product. Good luck and keep us posted on what happens.
Kelly says that auto trans. is N/C but ford charges for it.
Kelly says over head console for XL with convenience Group but Ford says it is it's not there.
Any help would be appreciated.
It's been a lot of help reading thru all the advice given in this forum. I'm ready to order!

What do y'all think?
it is unwieldy to manage, and difficult to use for "newbies". There is entirely TOO much topic duplication, so I will be doing some SERIOUS topic consolidation in the next few weeks, getting us down to not more than 2-3 topics per vehicle type, and ultimately down to 200 topics or less.
THIS weeks consolidation candidates are: F-150's, Silverado's, Dakota's, and Dakota Crew/Quad cabs.
In that vein, please consolidate this F-150 topic to Ford 150 Lightining and continue these discussions there.
Thanks!
