My 2011 5.0 Lariat

[IMG]ht[IMG][IMG][IMG]DSCF1074[/IMG][/IMG][/IMG]tp://DSCF1077[/IMG] Hey all,finally got my truck cleaned up after all the rain we had.Truck is a 4x4 Ingot silver Lariat with Sony/Nav/BU camera,Lariat plus package,heated and cooled front leather ebony seats and Ford bedliner and bugshield.Truck has the 5.0 V8 and has gobs of torque and passing power and rides smooth like butter.Just wish it was a little better on gas as I'm averaging about 14.8-16mpg in mixed driving.

You need to upload to your album on here or to a site like photobucket and then link them with the IMG code

i find it helpful when adding pics, to keep 2 tabs open one showing your albums and the other the main site, so when you create a thread, you click the picture icon and go to the tab were u have the album and copy the IMG code and switch back to your original message and paste it in there. Hope this made sense.

good luck with the truck, welcome!

I have the 2009 Lariat Screw 5.4L and I get 16-22mpg.

btw, a guy i know who has the 2009 Platinum 5.4L AND just bought a 2011 Platinum with ecoboost for his wife... sees NO DIFFERENCE in the engine performance or mpg.

hmmm...

If he can't feel a difference in performance between a 5.4 and an Ecoboost, there is something wrong with his butt dyno.
As for MPGs those can vary quite a bit depending on how you drive.

not really,try to take it easy most of the time.Maybe with more mileage it'll get better i hope as 18-22mpg seems optimistic.
