I always wanted a F150 Harley, but im worried about fuel economy. If i gets less than 14mpg, i am not messing with it.
supercharged trucks aren't the best in mileage. It might do over 14 on the freeway, but around town

If you can stay out of any boost its ok but its nearly impossible......at 220miles on a full tank of normal driving I'd just get inside a 1/4 tank left......and thats a 24 gallon tank.

I avg. ~12mpg around town. We took it on a 3000mi trip in Aug. cruising 75 I got 17 and 15.5 @ 85.
I was going to get a Lightning, but I have two kids. My best is 14.1 @ 101. The L weighs a lot less. If it were a Lightning it would be a second and half quicker and 7 mph faster.

Dubs are you going to keep yours stock? Build that bottom end and put a turbo on it.

Nice L. I almost bought an 03 Sonic Blue L but its really hard to part with this 03. Its not an L but its hardly a stock 5.4 either. Wish i got high millage like you guys get, mine is lucky to get 10 mpg on 93.



Enjoy your Lightning. Best truck built for sure.
