2004 ford or 2002 dodge

I posted this on here awhile ago but was just wondering what the fuel mileage between the two and the power. They are both 4wd and the ford has the 4.6 and the dodge has the 4.7. The ford has the extended cab. I currently own the Dodge which is quad cab.
 
I have two good friends which happen to have those very trucks only off a year or two. They are both 4x4 and same cab as yours. The ford will get the best mileage. But not much more. both of these trucks will get near 20 if driven easy and not over 55. The Dodge cab has a lot more room. Both would get a bigger motor next time.
 
Friend of mine has a Dodge, watch your fuel quality and don't skimp on oil changes, he did and at about 150,000 miles the valves got gummed up and it started chucking out cam followers, he had to replace the heads. To give you a quick synopsis of his vehicle care his Toyota pick-up 325,000 miles (stopped driving it when the frame rusted through) Toyota Corolla- 375,000 miles, (the windshield got broken and he didn't figure it was worth fixing) Jeep Grand Cherokee 350,000 miles, (okay they should of stopped driving this one about 25-30,000 miles earlier but his wife set a goal) Geo Tracker it's at about 310,000, if gas gets too expensive he might put an alternator on it and start driving it again and the current daily driver- a Jeep Patriot only at 135,000 but it's only 4 years old and of Course his Dodge 1/2 ton last summer it was 180,000, I think his wife is driving it because of Tracker issues so there're probably at 195,000 now. To be fair my Ford eats injectors, alternators and coil packs.
 

I have no experience with the Dodge 4.7, but I drive a 2008 F150 with the 4.6. (95,000 miles on it)
It got about 18~20MPG new, before I changed the street tires for some all terrains. After the tire swap it gets about 15. Dropped right out of the tire store parking lot.
Power is adequate. I pull a 20 ft deck-over trailer that weighs 2000 pounds empty and have hauled a 4500 pound tractor on it. Far below the "rated" load, but all that it really wanted to do.

Tires slightly different sized or profile will change odometer reading, hence mileage will seem to be different.
