Great video Fish. Wonder why they mention fuel economy being important in the video, but they don't actually test it????

I'm glad you enjoyed it BM...

Ford published that video in 7/14 and just recently received EPA numbers so I wouldn't have expected them to publish fuel economy numbers then.

Let's be clear here BM... Ford mentions the truck was designed to be efficient without sacrificing capability!

:B

Or, it could be that they can't compete in fuel economy, so they didn't mention it. Just as they have a significant advantage in the hill climb, so they highlighted that.

BM,
I going to let you in on a little secret that perhaps no one has mentioned to you: A diesel powered vehicle will always make better fuel economy vs a equivalent gas powered vehicle. The customer will have to choose if the ROI is there for them when choosing a diesel.

Thanks for the earth shattering news troller. I probably couldn't figure that out without that being pointed out.

As long as we are stating the obvious, more HP will likely make it up the hill faster as well.:R
