Mtnguy -- Sorry for the delayed answer but I had a tough time figuring out the axle ratio. In my F-150, I have the 4.6l V-8 with a 3.55 axel ratio. It is a 4x4 on a Supercab configuration. My mileage can really vary depending on topography, wind and my lead foot. When I can I try to accelerate gently and, if on flat lands, allow the overdrive and cruise to help. Often that just isn't possible and mileage suffers.

One other thing I have noticed about being a TM owner is that it can sure attract a crowd when you are getting ready to get underway. Of course this always happens when I am running behind anyway and am hoping to make good time to arrive at the next place before dark. After explaining the ins-and-outs of the rig, I'm even more behind the ever. These are the trips where my mileage really suffers
