Tow Vehicle

[SONIC]

Oh yeah I'm not worried about it at all just thought it was odd as my last duramax would pull 22 on the interstate with just a tune and this one never tops 16.

My 2020 Dmax was getting 20 mpg on the highway with the cruise set at 79-80 (most of the time) around town 14 mpg. No tune, just factory. Been pretty happy with it. I honestly haven’t paid much attention with the new rims and 35’s on it though. Probably less now.

This is for those who own a Ford and want to REALLY know how much your truck can tow. We know the advertised towing capacity is affected by cabin size, bed size, accessories, 4x4vs 2x4, etc.

Well, if you a own an F-series truck, guess no more.
Go here and enter your VIN and you'll get the answer straight from Ford.

Leveling absolutely kills mpg, the massive air dams on trucks and rake angle is for mpg.

Heavy tires are a mpg killer too, LT’s are much heavier that P metric.

LT’s are 20# heavier than the same same size p metric

I have not seen any mpg drop yet since leveling. And I cut off about 2/3 to 3/4 of that air dam. I just hated how it looked so low in the front, I wish it had the skid plate that went up to the front bumpers like the raptors and such. In June I am planning on new tires and I am confident that that is where my fuel mileage hit is going to come from. Looking at going with Toyo Open Country AT3 in either 285/60 R20 (33.5") or 295/60R20 (33.9"). Tough decisions!

If you stay in the P metric in the AT3’s you won’t lose much mileage at all.

You won’t notice mpg loss from any lift in city driving. Possibly in sustained highway driving.

I have the nitto terra grappler 2. I have about 35k on them and still running good. I would recommend if looking at brands/styles.

+1 on Terra Grapplers....great all terrain style tire with good longevity.

I've run sets of those in the past.

My current go-to are the Ridge Grapplers.

Really good streetable hybrid tire. More agressive than an AT, less annoying than an MT and tremendous wear resistance with regular rotations. I have about 45k on my current set and they come in load E rating.

It's worth cross shopping the Falken Wildpeak at3w... pretty quiet for a AT and you still get an aggressive looking sidewall. There is also a mud version.

If you aren't concerned about having that "off road" look, then the Continental TerrainContact A/T are ridiculously awesome. Currently running them on my Tahoe and they have been stellar.

The conti T/C A/T’s are outstanding and don’t look bad at all, got them on my 02 Sierra.

I get all conti tires 1/2 price.

The wild peaks look great if you want to that more aggressive look.

The toyo OC AT3’s also are great and a huge upgrade to the AT2 variant, the 2’s were dangerously bad in wet conditions.

The nitto grapplers also give that aggressive look and great performance.

I will likely opt for the Toyo AT3’s when my 2021 F150 arrives, although at this rate it will be a 2022.

I'm not really sure going with P metric will work with the size i want to go to. I also wouldnt mind the increased stability towing with the LT tires. I have not been able to hitch up since the leveling kit and 5100s on the rear so I guess I will find out how all that affected it June.

Toyo AT3 from Discount Tire is $308/ea for 285/60R20 and $392/each for 295/60R20. That may have made up my mind right there!
