Perch Question

Just curious, since we have the aero of a brick to start with. Has anyone who knew their gas mileage at stock perch, then went up, seen a drop in mileage? Just wondering if the nose up did anything, not that it would prevent us going to top perch.

You won't notice that much of a difference, if any at all

May be speaking out of turn here but I noticed a 2 miles to the gallon drop when I went to raptor suspension on the XLT. No mods on the ecoboost otherwise, on mid perch, no gearing or tire change as of yet.

There is no out of turn here at FRF! Speak up

I have not gone to mid/high perch yet as I am waiting for the Geiser Bros progressive springs to arrive... however with my Titan when I leveled it out I lost about 1MPG to 1.5MPG.

Lifting the front changes the aerodynamics and you will see a drop in MPG.

Look at the current Fords and Chevy's and look how low they are in the front. Those air dams that give you about the same clearance as a Toyota Camry are part of the reason why they are getting decent MPG.

Do the mod and don't worry about the gas bill. It's a Raptor!

No noticeable difference...

Noticed no difference in mileage on mid perch (shrug)
