My concern is that if it's getting bad mpg that it's not running at it's best.5.0, Fx4, 3.31, hard tonneau, regular gas, mostly Eco mode, 50/50 split of city/highway driving, easy acceleration/stopping, leaving A.S.S. on (I think I'm one of the very few who really doesn't mind it), higher side on tire pressure: Averaging about 18.5-18.9 mpg.
Took a 400 mile highway roundtrip going between 55-65 the entire time, and my trip average was 22.7.
If what you are after is top end MPG then being aware of your driving style and adjusting accordingly is crucial. Weather conditions can also play a monumental role. All it takes is a couple of lead-foot starts at intersections and a slight headwind and your average MGP goes straight to hell.
On the other hand as @UNIKRN150 said, that's not why we buy these.
I could care less about the cost of gas or how far I can drive, I have a 36 gallon tank.
I've babyed this thing trying to get the mpg up, I have the start stop feature turned on.
Nothing seems to change, I have the tonneau cover for the same reason as most.
It makes the truck look better and the weather off the bed.
Plus is a good place to lock up my gun if I need to.
