I agree the Diesel Ram will easily exceed it's highway numbers, the gas Ford would need careful driving, flat roads and favorable winds just to hit it's highway numbers.
I drive a diesel Passat rated at 43 mpg highway. I routinely get 46 - 48 mpg driving for work and on longer trips I've seen 52mpg without trying. Just driving 5 - 10 over the speed limit.
No gas vehicle I've ever driven has ever exceeded it's highway number for me. Most are a few MPG under the EPA number.
