You missed a powertrain option: Ford F150 5.0; spec 3:31 gears and it has very good, only needs 87 octane gas mileage. Real world experience over 30k miles:
Highway at 70-75 is 20-21 mpg.
Around town commuting mileage is 15 mpg.
Lifetime average over that 30k split about 50/50 in-town and highway is 17mpg.
This is a well optioned XLT 4x4 Screw.
Even without the MaxTow Package, it is rated to tow 8900 lbs, has just under 2000 pounds of payload capacity, and a GCWR of 14,300lbs.
