2014 F150 4x4 CC, 5.5 bed/Ecoboost/1828lbs payload

I went from a suburban with the 5.3 to an 11 cclb maxtow f150 ecoboost. You might want to consider a hat with a chin strap to hold your jaw up first time you tow with it.

With my trailer (7k loaded) I just got 9.9mpg on a 6k mile trip cross country and through the Rockies. Pretty sure on last years 7k mile trip, I finished at 10.9mpg (must have had more tail winds). I average 17.2mpg for mixed driving and can get right at 20mpg taking it easy on a long interstate drive. Reality is that I don't take it easy and get more like 18.5 on the interstate.

I forgot to mention, but I always have tow/haul on when the trailer is on. I don't like what it does with transmission braking when the cruise control is on. Traveling with cruise control seems to cost me 3-4 tenths.

I had similar weights when I had my ecoboost, I locked out 6th on the interstate, and on back roads of 50 MPH speed limits, I locked out 5th. it was very happy.

We happened to need a repair near you in Anacortes. Hubby asked if Canadians (us) could easily buy in US. Service man said they just need to switch a couple of settings in the computer to seitch the gauges. They are all made in the same plant.

Yep, they just change the odometer to miles and temperature to Fahrenheit.
