My guess is that your mileage could be associated with the 4X4 in your truck and the fact that you drive in the city a lot. My 2011 gets average at 18.5 (mixed driving) and if I keep the speeds at 70 or less, the mileage climbs above 20. I have even been playing with my trips to work and if I stay out of cruise and work the gas pedal to stay in V4 mode, the mileage goes to 2. It can be done, but I would not like the truck very much if I had to do it all of the time. The items that I did to the engine air intake, exhaust and tune were done to enhance my performance.

Remember, I am running a 3.42 gear and 265/50/20 tires on this truck. The whole thing is in what the RPMs run and the efforts that is involved in making the engine work the best at an optimum speed.
