6" Lifted F-150 MPG? Fuel Economy is better than expected 🤯 (Hybrid 3.5 V6 PowerBoost)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 гру 2023
- Explore the remarkable fuel efficiency of this hybrid twin-turbo V6 on a 6-inch lifted Ford F-150! I have modified the Superlift kit from RealTruck and paired it with the latest Fox 2.5 Performance Elite shocks to make it fit the PowerBoost (The King shocks wouldn't fit due to the reservoir design conflicting with the high voltage wiring of the hybrid powertrain). The results are genuinely astounding to me, as I unveil the jaw-dropping MPG figures this beast is delivering! Get ready to be amazed!

I love the look. With that lift and retro front grill it reminds me of big foot. 👍
As well as calibrating the tires you can adjust the mpg readout by adjusting the fuel bias in the dash settings diag mode. I finally have mine reading within .3 mpg vs hand calculated.
Yeah you have to enter engineering test mode to adjust this! Works well
Is this using Forscan or some other method?@@pmbboc
2017 limited 3.5 tt 10spd trans 8”lift and 37s calibration has been done getting 13ish give or take .5 also mpt 93prx tune
I see you had the Bilstein's before the Fox. Which rides smoother and softer on the freeway??
I might have missed you mentioning it in the video, but what grade gas do you like to run? The owners manual says its fine to run 87 but reccomends 91 or 93 for towing, and I've found with my '21 PB lariat specced very similar to yours 93 gives much better power response from a stop and a few MPGs better even on the highway in 40⁰ temps (~27mpg vs 22mpg)
'21 F150 FX4 STX 2.7 EB with 3.55 gears
-Stock averaged about 22.5 to 23 mpgs.
-RC 2" leveling kit with N3 coilovers/V2 struts rolling on ForceOffRoad 20x10 -12 F01s wrapped in 275/60r20 Sumitomo Encounter A/Ts averaged about 21.5 mpgs.
-RC 6" lift kit with N3 coilovers/V2 struts, same rims wrapped in 35x12.5r20 Delinte DX9 Bandit M/Ts currently getting at best 18.8 mpgs (using hex decimal calculations and Forscan, re-calibrated my speedo)
The PB platform shines the most in the 35-55mph zone. I bet if you found a loop that kept the speeds there you would be surprised at its efficiency still. I'm running a level with 34's and even with winter fuel I can still hit around 25-26 mpg taking back roads and city streets vs highway at 65-70.
I agree it absolutely is better in city driving. Unfortunately finding a “loop” of 35-55 wouldn’t really be replicable due to it having to be all city streets and stop and go would be too unpredictable to repeat similar enough results.
I've heard these figures from other PB owners, but for the life of me I can't get those figures anymore after a level and 33's. Highway cruising at 70mph I get 19-20mpg....if I absolutely baby it around town in that sweet spot speed range, the best I see is 22ish. Constantly researching lighter wheels and tires that will still serve my purpose off-road. I've even thought about a "street set" of wheels and tires and an off road set...but would take like 50K miles to cover the cost difference in 5mpg
21 f150 2.7l 2wd with 3" lift. 315/70/17 -18 offset (total weight 80lbs a corner) getting 18mpg average. Aftermarket bumper and fender flares.
is your transmission pan plastic?
What is the height of your garage door opening? I need to know if I can go with a 6 inch lift and be able to park in the garage. Thanks
My 2017 f150 with a 6” lift and 35” tires 3.5 only gets 11.8 on the interstate. Speedo is calibrated S&B cold air intake and performance dual exhaust. It just drinks gas😢.
Want to throw a 6 inch on mine. 35s with 24s hopefully I don’t have any issues…
How did the blue cruise/ driver assistance features hold up after installing the 6” lift? A lot of people say it will throw codes on the dash after lifting a blue cruise F-150
I have had no issues
@@GearsGadgets thank you for your reply I think I’m going to go ahead and get the ICON 2.5 CDCV front and rear set shocks
How much did the MPG compare to the leveling Kit you had installed?
He answers that in the video.. lost about 2 mpg from stock to level, and another 2 mpg moving to the lift
Did you recalibrate tire size for speedometer and mileage?
Disregard, commented before getting to that point of the video
O5 Silverado 5inch lift on 35s 5.3 2wd will get 20 on hwy 10city stop and go my 83 1ton dually 454 4x4 10mpg no matter what (no lift on it doesn't need it already tall for a tow rig)
did you ever upgrade the gear ratio? just curious I want to add a 4-inch lift with 35s but keep reading the gears need to be lowered.
I didn't have to lower the gear ratio, with the 35's it runs totally fine, I think the 10 speed transmission makes that less of a need but thats just me.
@@GearsGadgets that’s what I was hoping. Thanks for getting back to me on this!
What did you use to recalibrate the tire size?
Forscan
Does the lift actually add travel or does the larger shocks just "bridge the gap" so to speak created by the lift?
Also, with reservoir shocks, you definitely went very high end with the lift kit.
This will not be most peoples experience as most will opt for cheaper options.
What I would really be interested to see is if you are better off going reservoir shocks on leveled vs reservoir shocks on lifted.
One thing that makes me worry about lifted ride quality is the increase level on the rear springs added by the lifting block.
Seems that would REALLY increase rotational torque on the springs leading to lots of rear differential rotation.
Also obviously with longer levers in the front, you are amplifying all pressures seen by the suspension.
Again necessitating the higher end shocks.
15.5 for a six inch isn’t bad, never had a lifted truck but my first gen eco boost with 3.73 stock would average 19mpg. I did a level and 33inch KO2s at 60k miles and the best I could average after was 15.5mpg
That’s what I thought too. 15.5 isn’t anything to write home about but it’s also WAY better than my worst fears of 11
I’d love to put a 6” lift and 35’s on my 22 F150 Platinum Powerboost.
How has this effected your Bluecruise, Lane Keeping, BSM, Auto Headlights Leveling, etc? Basically all the fancy and safety features built in these trucks.
BTW, keep up the great work on your channel, really like and enjoy watching your content!
First, thank you! Second, everything from lane keeping to blue cruise, headlights, BSM, Leveling, it all works on my truck with zero issues. I did have to recalibrate the 360 cameras because the added height made the cameras not line up anymore but that was the only technology functionality I noticed any differences with.
Thanks for the quick reply! That’s all good to know as I will be moving forward with the lift How did you adjust the 360 cameras? I live in LA and could use a recommendation of someone reliable if you know of one. My dealership will not, cannot or doesn’t have the ability to adjust/recalibrate the 360 cameras.
@@EagleRockSolo I haven't done it, but most people use Forscan software. The dealer can do it as well, but may choose not too after it is modified. From what I have read, you start the process in forscan and then just drive the vehicle in a parking lot with good contrast, and on a street with good lane markings. The computer does the rest on 2021+ ..you don't need any mats on the ground or other stuff that older cars required.
Thanks @TravisN
I’ll give this a try since I probably need to setup forscan anyway to adjust for tires size as well.
@@EagleRockSolo yes you can do it with forscan too.
That’s a 24% hit in fuel economy. 😬
You never said what engine you had. The 5.0 gets 21mpg in in a car its about the most fuel efficient engine on the market.
Battery powered pick-up trucks should be able to do some trucking I'm 100% sure none of them could compete (Drag Week) without being a laughing stock. A Australian Ute or a Rancharo is not a Pick-Up truck because you can modifie a Pick-up to have a dump-bed or custom tool box sides and those countries don't really alow you to modify your vehicles. A Pick-up is ment to be modified or throw away the old bed and put a new one on when needed. The battery powered Ford Pick-up sold like 500 in 365 days, its a flop no one wants that junk unless its some tax right off they are looking for.
Sorry I said hybrid which only comes in the twin turbo 3.5 but I should have been more clear.
OK nice, I still don't think any farmers going to want to risk owning a truck with a control module and wiring harness worth more than the entire truck. And not enough of people's (Right to repair) has been resolved making tractors and trucks a 100% loss in equipment. The EPA needs to be abolished and restructured.
Dan trucks look good no lift my 2021 f150 v8 when i drive on highway at speeds like 67 to 69 mph premium gas i get great gas mileage around 26 not pushing hard and now i have a bak flip on back i think i get great gas mileage premium gas is the best electric trucks will not last long trust me technology to far off to many problems with electric trucks
I have a 22 lariat power boost, now you’re that guy kicking up rocks and breaking windshields. and I like your channel but I think the truck looks ugly and definitely not worth it lifting it so high. The whole point of a power boost is to save on MPG‘s. You’re almost at the point where you keep cutting your hair until you have a wiffle.
My point of buying a PowerBoost wasn’t for MPG. Return on investment MPG-wise isn’t there compared to a regular 3.5 which gets nearly identical MPG HWY. I never got anywhere near advertised 24 mpg even with a light foot on the highway to begin with. Best I ever saw was just about 20. Rocks… it’s no different than any other truck on the road with AT tires which I would have run anyway since I found myself off road on job sites on a daily basis, the lift has nothing to do with more or less rocks. Anyhow, the reason I bought my PowerBoost was for comfort sitting on job sites in Phoenix being able to run AC for long durations without having to burn gas, same for long road trips being able to nap in the truck without the engine running but heat or ac keeping the cabin comfortable. The other reason was a backup generator for home power incase of emergency. It serves WAY more practical purpose than it does MPG purpose. In terms of looks, that’s obviously subjective as I wouldn’t modify my truck to make it look ugly to me.
