I was able to bend it enough with pliers for it to clear. So good for now.

I'm surprised he needed pliers and couldn't do it with his bare hands :lol:

Interesting comparison between stock height 2021 F150 XL 4x4 vs my lightly lifted 08 Tundra TRD 4x4

Interesting. I feel like my truck looks higher in front than yours, but that is probably just my imagination.

Just as interesting will be the MPG difference.

Depends on how we're keeping score. Lowest overall or largest deviation from rated (without excessive idling). I could be in the running for both... I saw 8.4 or something like that with my new F150 towing the travel trailer into a 15-20 mph headwind for 200+ miles. I also saw 12 mpg from my 2nd Miata once while 100+ miles (on the track at Laguna Seca).

Ohhhhh. We might have a new thread and goal. Lol. I deff saw 8 while towing the camper into wind while going 70-80. Just going and getting those karts it was 10. I think barely touching the gas I can get 12 around town.

I was averaging 10 around town and I think the best we saw on the few extended highway runs was 15.

That's about what I'm getting in the tundra.

I know we've had discussions about the accuracy of the fuel economy meters, but my F150 has been showing 20 or better since I got my stop/start working.

There's actually a calibration mode I can get into to apply an offset to get it closer to my real world measurements. It's only off by roughly 1 mpg.

Mine was done off of fill ups, not auto calculator.

i get 13-14mpg, its pretty accurate by my calcualtions so i just trust the computer, however its probably not accurate to real numbers since i have larger tires
