Listen 5 4 220,000 Mi on it the only thing I've done is put timing chain set up in it oil pump but I did go and have a computer tuned I went from 16 around town with AC on daily driving up to 18 out on the highway at about 75 I'm laying down 2122 depending on the ground level most of that came from the tuneFuelly is a good site to see what others are getting.
Personally my bone stock 2007 gets 13-15 daily suburban driving. On a recent 500 mile road trip I averaged a bit over 17. Over 400 of the 500 was highway driving. I'm not unhappy with my MPG, but I have noticed that if I'm stuck in traffic or just going through fast food drive thru windows MPG drops. I would expect anyone that has to crawl through any type of traffic will have lower MPG with these 5.4 Expeditions.
What gear ratio do you have on the ssv? I am installing 35s on my Limited this week with 3.31.Alright, looking for real mpg numbers to compare them against mines. I have been doing some 500 mike trips on my 5.4 2007 ssv, to both the beach and a hunting trip. The beach trip was pretty flat driving with AC on all the time. The hunting trip was a mix of elevation changes and alot of 4lo crawling. On the freeway I do 70 mph as the mud tread putts you to sleep at 75 mph.
Average I got was 11.8mph.
This is with a 3/2” lift, on 35” tires on method 17” wheels so not really heavy. Have a roofrack and 17 gallon water tank I use plus coolers full of ice and 4 people. Is this MPG about what I should expect?
The rear gear is 3.73, honestly I have not floored it since buying it. It does pass great and does not feel slugish while passing.What gear ratio do you have on the ssv? I am installing 35s on my Limited this week with 3.31.
Was wondering if you felt a power loss and how does it drive on the highway?
