I recently put a 6in lift on my 08 Lariat 4X4 with 35X12.50 tires and it looks awesome. Only thing is the MPG I'm getting now. I just want to know what others are getting in regards to MPG with similar lift, tires, and year model, so I can be sure that there is nothing else needing to be fixed, or is this just what my MPG is going to be now. Either way I'm fine. Just wanted to know what others were getting. Thanks. Pics to follow in a few days of my truck once I wash her....

 

i think most guys are going to reply to this for you to expect to be in the 11-14 range taking into consideration, driving style, speed, city/hwy differences. heck even a 5 lb difference in weight per tire from one 12.50 to another 12.50 will drop it another minute amount. winter gas vs summer gas. theres a ton of factors. if you have a 5.4 with 3.73's youll be better off than having 3.55's. throw in a tuner with a custom tune if you have any other mods (cai, headers, exhaust) or plan on any others and you might improve a bit more. but most guys will tell you on a good day to probably expect not a whole lot more than that. hope that makes you sit a bit more comfortable bud.

 

6" on 35's, intake, programmer, exhaust, 3.55's. i wish i had an accurate number since my edge cs is retarded telling me 21mpg.... but i'd guesstimate its around 12-13 realistically. it's my DD to work so majority highway miles, driving style depends on the amount of idiots in Houston traffic to **** me off

 

Do you plan a re-gear? A re-gear to say 4.56 would make it move like it did with stock wheels, nice and easily. Though highway mileage may remain a bit low with lower gears, the city mpg would be pretty decent over what it is now.

 

My 04 is around 14 to 15 on the hwy. In the city 9 to 10.

 

My 07 5.4 with a 6" and 35s was getting 11.5 around town but I dont drive anything easy and I rarely drove the highway. Had SCT custom tuned, intake, and exhaust.

 

some custom tunes and regear would help and really wake up the truck since the added tires

 

my 05 with a 6" skyjacker, 35X12.5R17 Wheels, 4.56 gears, Gotts mod intake, CS by PHP on the 87 Towing tune, i get about 14 combined. The MOST ive ever gotten was 16 and that was strictly highway.

Also, if i fill up after ive used a 1/4 tank(from full) i get the most MPG. i have no idea why, but filling up then and filling up at a half, my MPG will drop pretty good.

 

I had a 06 with the same lift and tire size and do mostly city driving. 9 mpg religiously! Got 11 mpg on the highway at the best.
