So Ford released the actual EPA MPG or is this a guess looking at previous models, with that engine? That would be really good is true.

This is a guess based on a picture of the dash of a display truck lmao

I'm going to say that shown figure is little more than combined driving since the last fill up or reset. Either way, it's almost 10 more mpg than I average weekly with my truck.

It's almost twice mine...13.5mpg

That's about what I got with my previous 2WD full sized trucks. I'm at 16.5 with a Ram 1500 with 4WD and V6 driving a good amount of stop and go. I easily pull over 24 highway as long as I stay around 65 mph. This things also runs as good as those V8s I had in my previous trucks too.

If I got 16.5 mpg I would probably not be looking to sell my truck, maybe 40 mpg is hard to pass up

The 26.6 rating is based off of what's on the dash.
For all we know the driver was hypermiling it. But being a real world figure that high for a pickup like this, I doubt the actual EPA-estimated rating and a large enough real-world sample size would be far off.

I'm sure those Eco Boosts are strong little motors, and the additional towing is great. But with my F150 and its 5.4L V8, I'm getting 19 mpg's. 26 mpg is just not enough of a jump for me to justify it. Now 40 mpg certainly is ! Even so, I get 53 mpg (for the entire 53K miles I've driven it) in my 2019 Prius LE. I'll never own another vehicle that is not "at least" a hybrid. And probably in a few more years, all electric. BTW, I'm not all into electrics because I think they are so clean for the environment. I'm not even sure that's true. I like them because they have so fewer parts to fail, and torque from 0-max.

We don't know which axle ratio this picture has, or if it has AWD, or what other options are equipped. Having a tonneau vs an open bed can make a difference in fuel economy, for example.

I'd like to see some towing economy numbers too.

 

[Darnon]

It's an AWD with the towing package and probably a little on the heavier side being a Lariat.

Assuming that's the vehicle in the picture, yeah. I'll definitely give you Lariat, given the bigger screen, but I don't see a watermark in the second image to definitively say it's from the same source, or the same vehicle. All we have is fordfan's word that the truck in the picture is the truck in both pictures.

Forgive my skepticism, but the last 5 years have taught me to seek definitive fact and question everything.

It's from this video all of the same vehicle at the Chicago Auto Show. Timestamp 4:46.

fair enough. Let's see if we can replicate these numbers in the real world, with payloads and trailers and mountains, though.

My 4 cylinder regular cab 08 2WD Canyon gets 20.5 last I checked which was recently. That's checking by fillup as it doesnt even have a computer mileage number.

It's hard to say if thats city or highway it's a mix, but really if I'm honest I have to say it's almost entirely city, maybe with some decent few mile stretches on a hwy here and there.

So the Hyrid Mav would basically double my mileage. If I get the 2.0 I am counting on it being in the same ballpark as my current. anything above that will be a nice bonus.

26.6 would fall in nice bonus territory but I'm skeptical.

It's weird how all the environmental junk and mid size trucks still get by and large the same 20 mpg as always LOL. I guess the kicker is now they get a lot more power at that figure.

My first Ranger, a '99 XLT Sport w/ 3.0L flex fuel w/ 5-spd manual and 2WD averaged about that with my commute into the city. On the highway I averaged a better than rated 28 mpg cruising at 65+ w/the A/C. Aside from my '03 Supercab w/4.0L, 4WD, and chipped w/an exhaust and intake, was my favorite truck.

 

[bulldog53207]

It's funny how ford can release the numbers for the hybrid but not for the 2.0L Ecoboost.

Technically they haven’t. It’s estimated.

In 40 or 50 years from now, the vehicles will be hydrogen powered. The electric grid will not allow total electric vehicles in this country or the world for that matter......Unless marty McFly comes to life with his plasma board.....
