Nice Truck, Very Poor Fuel Economy
Luis Garcia, Philadelphia, MS, 02/21/2019
2012 Ford F-150 XLT 4dr SuperCab Styleside 6.5 ft. SB (3.7L 6cyl 6A)
The Ecoboost has great power for a V6. But the drawback is fuel mileage. We average about 11.5 city/ and a whooping 17 hwy if we stay in the right lane. The supercab 4 door is a terrible design. You need ALOT of room on both sides to get in/out. Front doors do not have a "catch" point when you open. Be ready to hold the door if you don't want to hit the vehicle next to you. If you … have back seat riders, you have to undo your seat belt and open the front door in order to let them in or out, since the seat belt is attached to the back door. Prior years had the seat belt attached to the front seat, which at least kept you from having to undo your seat belt. The ride is great though. Very smooth at all speeds. The locking rear diff is very nice when pulling boat out of the water, or driving through mud. Overall, we like the truck, but don't use it much do to the very, very poor fuel economy. We purchased brand new and have had it 8 years now, with only 42k.
Update: As of 08/2019, not much has changed. We took a trip to Daytona Beach pulling a trailer with 2 motorcycles on it, and averaged 10.6 mpg. Terrible fuel economy. The truck still performs very well though. It looks very nice sitting in the garage for most of it's life. We almost feel guilty driving it due to it's combined 13.1 mpg (lack of) fuel economy.
