[QUOTE="KentSD, post: 1086954, member: 22247"] Picked up my 2017 Dec 28th put a grand on her then changed the oil then ran south. (Prior truck for coming down here was 2015 Fx4 V8) I keep a boat in Loreto so i drive down about every 6 weeks- That Fx4 did about 10 trips in 18 months so I was ready for an upgrade. First off wow 150% different then my Fx4- I knew there was going to be a difference but not this big. Its apples and oranges. But I know everyone already knows that... Some things I'm sure everyone would want to know: MPG Sport Mode 8.1 Raptor [I] MPG sport mode Fx4 v8 11.5[/I] (Driving habits for down here) This was shocking for me. I thought the eco-boost was going to be much higher MPG but it eats fuel when your running down here more then the V8. When i took sport mode off for a few hours i could get 9.4 MPG - Im running and gunning FYI, when I'm on the 5 in San Diego it gets 16+ The Tranny needs some serious updates. It constantly gets stuck at redline, and i don't mean just a higher rpm, i mean its trying to blow it self up. Would have to throw her in Manual quickly go to a few higher gears then throw her back in Drive. (Even then sometimes she would downshift her self and do it all over again immediately- very very annoying) Plenty of power passing trucks which a lot of you know is very important and handled very well on some dirt stretches. On my way home i may take the salt flats from Scorpion bay so if i do ill give another update. Anyone want to know on the towing- Ill be hooking the boat up tomorrow and it weighs 5500lbs so ill let you know how it tows around town. Overall so far though really happy with it and think its a great truck. [/QUOTE]
