I've always found it amusing they use only 66 miles to figure a mpg number....and they let the trucks computer do the shifting on long climbs.
I realize many pickup owners today have no idea what gear the engine needs to be in going up or down steep grades...sooo they let the computer do the shifting for them.
The mpg test with the 6.6 and 7.3 gazzers IMO would be more accurate running 3 tanks and then take a average on the same day with the same trailer over the same highways.
I'm a big GM fan but I would say the Ford front end looks a hellz of a lot better. Good gawdz that GM trucks front is ugly.
