Fuel Economy in a Ford F-150

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

Fuel economy isn’t as important to these true truckers as it is to those who would use their pickups as an alternative to cars for everyday city commuting and family hauling, but it is a factor nonetheless.

Those who use pickups as work trucks in their jobs often don’t have other, more fuel-efficient vehicles to drive while away from work, and to them, fuel economy is a real issue.

So while the 2009 F-150, comes with V-8 power, Ford boosted fuel economy by about 8 percent across the entire line, and added special SFE models – that stands for “superior fuel economy” – that have EPA ratings of 21 miles per gallon on the highway.

The 2009 Chevy Silverado features a six-speed automatic transmission with 5.3-, 6.0-, and 6.2-liter engines, while a more powerful, E85-capable 6.2-liter V-8 is available in the crew cab.

By lowering the freeway rpm, the new Hydra-Matic six-speed automatic helps achieve better fuel efficiency and reduced noise levels.

Work Trucks and Trailer Hitches

Monday, January 25th, 2010

A trailer coupler is a mechanical device that connects a trailer to the hitch of the tow vehicle.  Work trucks are one of the most common vehicles that need trailer hitches.

Work trucks often pull large trailers loaded down with equipment or landscape materials.

Gas Mileage Tips for Your Arkansas Work Truck

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

Perform Regular Maintenance Tasks
You’ll use less gas if you keep your work truck tuned up and running like it should. Read your work truck owner’s manual and make sure your tires are inflated as the manufacturer recommends. Under inflation creates a drag that reduces fuel economy. Don’t forget about your work truck’s wheel alignment.  If your work truck is not rolling straight, you won’t get optimum gas mileage.

Plan Your Route
On work days and on weekends, whenever you drive your work truck, plan your routes to avoid congested, high-traffic areas with construction and stop-and-go driving.  When your route requires you to be on the Arkansas interstates, be sure to set your cruise control on your work truck.
