Welcome, Uriah. You're just down the road from me, I live in Anderson County.

I always knew the full size trucks, at least the lower-spec ones like the 150, could hit decent numbers. It's all down to the driver, how it's equipped and how it's driven.

I think a fair portion of what's holding you back is that 4.6. I don't know why but for some reason it isn't any great shakes as a mileage motor. I certainly never hear anyone bragging about his mileage from a 4.6, at any rate.

There's lots of room underneath that truck for sneaky aero improvements that won't show from above.
