Hello from Ohio
Greeting everyone! This is a very cool site- I have been a "lurker" for a long time and am excited to finally join.
I have a '99 F150 4x4 that I use "as a truck"- I haul stuff in it and use it for camping excursions. The current highway mileage is horrendous ( it's a 4x4). I've seen alot of really interesting work with pickups on the site - particularly with bed toppers - so looking forward to learning more..... Also interested in building my own car at some point- fashioned after the Oldsmobile Aerotech Concept car. Curious what that shape is capable of in CD :) |
Welcome to the site.

Welcome, study the aero forum. That is probably your best gains on the highway.

Welcome!
Some useful places to go while you're still new: http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...-mpg-5170.html http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...ower-6341.html http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...ehicle-83.html Seein's how you're trying to wring better numbers from a full-size 4x4, you've got an uphill climb, but looked at another way, a gain of 1.0 MPG represents a much larger percentage boost for you than, for instance, me. Start a garage page for your truck, it helps with keeping track of how the various mods perform. Tell us more about it so we have a better idea both of the truck's "mission profile" and what kind of options are on - and off - the table. Jump in, the water's fine. |
