2015 F150 2.7L MPG
TFL Truck did a test. 22.8 mpg when running empty on the highway. Surprisingly close the the in cab display which many say reads too high. VIDEO

Good point Mich800. I found this on the EPA's site in reference to the parameter's they use in highway mpg's testing so 65 mph overall seems pretty fair to me, I stand corrected on my lack of real world mpg's empty. I read this as 60 mph is the primary speed with runs up to 80 mph for a high speed mix, so TFL's 65 mph average seems pretty fair.
"Vehicles are tested at a top speed of 80 mph in order to calculate the highway mpg estimates.
EPA utilizes fve test cycles to represent real-world driving conditions. While it’s true that the test cycle historically labeled as the “highway” test has a top speed of 60 mph, this test is currently meant to represent driving on lower speed highways as well as rural and suburban driving. EPA’s highway mpg estimates are primarily derived from a separate “high speed” test cycle, which has a top speed of 80 mph. The remaining three tests are designed to simulate stop-and-go city driving, high air conditioning use, and driving in cold temperatures. For more information on the fve test cycles and how EPA calculates its mpg estimates, go to epa.gov/fueleconomy."
I know one thing for sure, Ford has a winner on their hands. If I were in the market for a light duty truck the only thing I would need to concern myself with is the trim level and color I wanted to go with...:)
