I noticed that the other day. Curious how much it squats with a pallet of concrete.
The biggest upside the the conversion to full airbags just got easier, or you add the helper bags like Fred has on his Tahoe, they just fit inside of the coils.
edit: Research shows that 1 tons get airbags.

Creighton, you have done stuff with that jeep that would make a goat go "holy ****!"
And the 1500s have airbags

That's almost like Cadillacs that come with stop leak in the cooling system from the factory.

Anyone have any real world Ecoboost mileage numbers? My only stories are from a former co worker saying it had plenty of balls for towing, but mpg was less then 10, and that everyday mpg was not what was advertised. His towing was a basic 2 axle with a Mule on it out to LLano. Pulled a huge 38' bumper travel trailer a few times and got like 7mpg. I don't tend to worry that much about towing MPGs as there are plenty of factors, but I am thinking a truck like that, being advertised like it is, should be in the low 20s on hwy
I still get 13/15.5 in my 10 yr old F150 5.4 with 3.55s, 35s, 250k, and a boat anchor up front.

Guy I work with is getting ~19 in his ecoboost. Mixed driving, no towing.

Ty from cardoc has one. I think he said he got 20 if he drove nice on the hwy

Before I did the level kit and the larger tires, I could get 20 on the hwy at 70 or below with the 5.0. Not much to gain by going eb. You also dont have to worry about whether one turbo will crap out and leave you with no power.

JB, all that **** you talked and you have no idea... The sticker on an ecoboost is 19 highway...
Most used ecoboost I've looked at (2013's with 20-40k miles) show around 17 mpg on their trip meters. Some of those trip meters were for 10,000 miles or more. Once again the ecoboost will only gain 1 or 2 mpg but will get more power and torque.

Only 5 more horsepower, torque is probably irrelevant since you will be towing with your dodge if you did have to tow

I didn't really talk ****. Maybe you misunderstood. I was aware of sticker number. Actually I think I've seen some listed in low 20s but might have been 2wd.
I don't want the 5.0 for the mpgs. I want because i think it will last longer and so i can feel like a badass when Ice Ice Baby comes on
But you're looking for mpgs and don't want to keep it for very long, so don't listen to me.

awesomeness.
Trip odometer mileage is bull****. Mine never says over 15 but as I said before, I usually get 17.5 on the highway.
On the 8th day god created the Super Swamper TSL and said "go forth and kick ass"
Trip odometer is lies. Sticker mileage is only valid if you're on medicare and named Edna.
