I have been debating buying one of these truck since June and I've always heard good things about the mileage until now. I have a cousin who has one and a good friend of mine has one. My cousin pulls a 22' fiberglass bass boat to Toledo bend all the time and gets about 14mpg @ 72mph, he has 3:7:3 gear ratio. My good friend has pulled our 19' nautic star several times to big lake and V. Bay and gets about the same mileage I get with my chevy 1500 z71(when I didn't have bigger tires), he has 3:5:5 gear ratio. Both of these guys are running stock 4x4 trucks.

What gear ratio do yall have? I've even had my boat pulled with the 5.0 that ford has and it may have gotten a mile or two better per gallon with our boat.
