Bruno, I bought my 06 FX4 new a year and a half ago. Up around 2000 to 2500 miles it seemed to get a little better. Not much but a little.
If your gonna keep the truck for 100k or more miles. I'd suggest buying two things for milage. A X-cal 2 tuner. And a crank underdrive pulley. Both of those will indeed give you results.

btw, I average 19 winter and 20-21 summer in 50/50 driving.

5.0L, 4.6L, and now this 4.0L
btw, IMO the 4.0L crank is very small. I'd not put underdrives on any of the other pullies in conjunction with it.

Underdog Overdrive Alternator pulley spins the alternator back up to normal speed after installing an underdrive crank pulley, restoring amperage to OEM levels. Available in anodized red, blue, or red. A 1" shorter belt is required. Aluminum construction offers less rotating mass than OEM pulley.

Now that I gave my truck a new set of plugs and wires I expect at least 25mpg. My 4x4 x-cab has 182.xxxmiles on it.
