I saw similar results going from the 31" stock tires on my 2014 Sierra to 33" Discoverer AT3 4S tires. A little bit loss of efficiency but the year round performance of the all weather tires is easily worth the sacrifice. Plus they are very decent offroad. IMO all weather are a great choice for an all around tire. Especially if you don't have the room or funds for proper snow tires and your off roader is your daily driver.

Andre you definitely need to figure out how to program the truck for the larger tires. In the old days when I installed larger tires I had to change the plastic gear in the speedo cable. Now with everything computer controlled the vehicle needs to be updated to the larger size tire as it will effect the speedometer, odometer, shift points and other variables. It will also change your effective gearing in the axles.

Forscan might be able to do it on his truck. It depends if the PCM will allow the BCM to report a larger tire size. On my 2014 F150 I had to change the size in the BCM but also had to tweak PCM tune to accept the larger reported size from the BCM, otherwise it would throw a code and the PCM would ignore the BCM and default back to the factory size.

This is an interesting and informative video. Thanks Andre and TFL. I have a 2014 F 150 4x4 Supercab ( extended) with the naturally aspirated 3.7 V-6 rated at about 300 H.P. and similar torque. It has the 3.73 axle ratio. The truck also has a duel fuel system with CNG provided by Altech-Eco as a Ford option. The 15 gallon CNG tank is cross mounted in the bed and weighs hundreds of pounds. My gasoline tank holds 36 gallons. Stock tires were 235 75 17 and I was running 265 70 17 Goodyear Wranglers all season tires. I switched to Bridgestone 285 70 17 10 ply E rated Dueler Revo 3 A/T tires on stock steel wheels. I added a 1.5" level lift and Air-Lift air bags for the rear suspension. I also added a Roush low restriction air cleaner .Before I added options I was getting close to 22 mpg on a good day, level road, 70 mph , 2,000 rpm. The lift and bigger tires dropped the mpg by about 3 mpg. I noticed it took more work for the truck to turn the bigger tires when accelerating but once at 70 or so it was fine. The lift seemed to create more drag at the front and I felt the wind pushing it around more. I believe that contributed to the loss of mpg. My tires can take up to 80 psi and I keep about 55 psi for normal driving without a load. I like the E rated 10 ply for stiffer handling, especially with a load. When I air up the rear air bags it brings the rear end up a good inch or two and gives more slope downward to the front end, decreasing wind drag and increasing mpg. I love the woosshing sound of the Roush air cleaner and I believe it helps the mpg a tad, Plus the filter can be cleaned by hand. I also have a hard tonneau cover and that likely helps mpg a bit. My conclusion: the low restriction air cleaner helps. The rear air bags allow me to lift the rear and lower the front reducing air drag. The front puck level lift pokes the nose up a bit. I would not get anything taller than 1.5". The E rated Bridgestones are a nice all terrain tire but their bigger size and width slows the truck down a bit. These tires are about 33" and I wouldn't put anything wider with the stock suspension for adequate front end clearance. The bigger tires throws the speedometer off, especially at higher speeds. So, my mpg is actually better than the truck indicates. Still the truck has to work a bit harder and downshifts more when accelerating hard. I'm basically happy with all I've done. Keeping some rake in the front end helps mpg, noticeably , but I wouldn't want to go back to factory rake which is about 2". I don't like that look. Returning to a more stock type highway tire of 265 70 or 75 x 17 would improve mpg but I like the Revos for snow and off road use. Btw, I also love having the CNG option. CNG is cheaper at the pump and it gets the same mpg and performs as well as gasoline. The tank does take up space in the bed though and adds some weight. I love my Ford truck and not having a turbo doesn't bother me much. Andre's hybrid with turbo combination would feel powerful, no doubt, and gets better mpg than I do. Oh well, these are trucks, not Teslas. Happy trails!

While leveling a pickup is popular. It is not a very good idea. Lifting the same at all 4 corners is preferred for best performance, including fuel economy. You may recover lost fuel economy by lowering your front air damage buy the amount of height increase. I tried the Rough Country kit, Rancho Quick Lift shocks, and Bilstein 5100 shocks. The Bilstein 5100 option works the best with IFS suspensions. An alternative is the Bilstein 6100's or the Eibach kit if an aftermarket bumper or winch is involved. I am considering a Ford Powerboost. My wife and I bought a 4 Wheel Popup Hawk model camper with a/c. It would be nice to have another power option for boondocks. My '16 Ram 1500 Quadcab 4wd Ecodiesel has less of a payload than my '20 Dodge Durango GT. So the camper is for my wife's '18 Ram 2500 Crewcab 4wd 6.7L. I am toying with the idea of trading my Ram 1500 for an Ecoboost. If the payload will handle the camper.

I just got a 2022 F150 2wd super crew with the 5.0L. So far. 1500 miles 23.2 MPG. But no drag racing.

One of the things that most people miss when they upgrade their tires is how they effect your on the road final drive ratio. I had a 1999 F-150 with a 3.55 rear end and stock 28 inch (might be a bit off) tires but when I upgraded to 32 inch tires it raised my effective final drive ratio to 3.08 thus of course acceleration is the first thing to be effected by the taller ratio.

Exactly!!!! Most people forget that! That is the exact reason why I will not go up in tire size on my truck.
@ALMX5DP2 жыл бұрын
Most of the time the difference isnt too significant, but yeah growing 4" in diameter will have an effect (especially when starting out with something smaller).

Andre when you had the lift and tires installed did you also get the headlights re-aimed? That’s a pet peeve of mine. People get their trucks lifted or whatever with no thought to headlights and then everyone else gets blinded.

What I think is your truck looks fantastic!!! I would have done same mods. And I love the work truck rims!

For anyone looking for the app, I found it as "Military GPS Survival Kit". It's actually a pretty awesome app if you're willing to pay the subscription price for it.

I put the exact same tires on my old Ram 2500 and a 2" puck. Don't care about MPGs, but I might get 15 on the highway & 11 in town. I put about $80 in every 2 weeks of 87 octane. My truck weighs 7200 lbs.

Can’t beat a leveled truck and AT tires for functionality and looks. It’s the first thing I’ve done to all my trucks.

what i've found with larger tires, at least on the power wagon, is i take a little bit of a hit driving around town, but my highway MPG increased due to the lower RPMs at highway speed. so in the end it's a wash.

Andre, unless you are towing a lot then P rated passenger tires would save you some weight being same size. Those LTs are heavy.

Can you pull the air dam and test again? I’ve heard removing it on a leveled truck doesn’t effect mpg. I’ve never seen a real world test of it.
