AWD with 4K tow group mileage VS AWD without

[Barracuda340]

How are those 245/55 r18 on your mav? Any rubs? I’m running the stock 225/60 r18 Michelins and been wanting to change them out and had researched tire size the 245/55 r18 is the same overall size as the 225/60 r18 except for the width being about 3/4 inch wider.

No rubbing at all. Running them on 18x8 circuit performance CP30s with 35mm offset. These are actually Focus RS spec. I plan on installing Eibach drop springs this summer. The second pic was photo shopped. it's not that low yet. Heres pix.

I’ve a lariat AWD with out 4K or FX4. Bought used with 9K miles on it so already broken in. I’ve taken 3 trips. 500miles/34mpg, 14.7gal 218 mi/36.3 6 gal and 439 mi/35.4. 12.4 gal. I’ve drive using cruise control as much as possible and very conservatively no jackrabbit starts and let off gas early for red lights, 65mph on expressway. All these trips were 90/10 highway city on combination of flat level roads and hilly country with elevation changes of 1000ft. 87 octane gas.

Update just got my best ever tank 605.7 miles 16.1 gallons that’s 37.6 mpg. That’s a lot of 2 lane highway average speed 60 about 10% city. Picture is right after fill up.

Great looking truck, I’ll be leaving mine at stock height as I go out to my farm 2-3 times a month and the gravel road is a bit on the rough side being up in the Ozarks. It’s an AWD but wasn’t able to snag one with FX4 so no skid plates to protect the vitals.

Gonna wait until I can get a skid plate with an oil filter access panel so I dont have to remove that stupid fiberboard cover underneath every time I have to change the oil.

That’s one of first things I plan on adding to my truck.

I have a 2023 EB AWD with 4k towing and most of my miles are city with economy setting and auto start/stop turned off(I HATE that feature!)
I get around 22mpg in town and on runs to/from NorCal to SoCal, I get around 29-30mpg
Calif has " Summer Blend" gas and it drop MPG around 2 miles per gallon, maybe a little more.
I don't drive crazy or lead foot it at stops so I'm not sure why mileage is at 22mpg...?
Hope this helps.
