This was a pretty laid back unscientific test but it shows some real numbers from the built in system.
And both trucks achieved what I have stated in the past...
IF you drive very carefully being mindfull of economy, you can usually "meet or beat" the manufacturers ratings.
It also shows what Ford intended for the Ecoboost..
It CAN be a mileage motor if driven as such
PLUS it can tow if you put your foot in it.
Same actually applies to the Ecodiesel I suppose?
Here is the thought that went through my head as I was reading this..
Can you imagine about 5-6 years back... :S :S :S :S
if Ford announced...

"We will put a 2.7L motor in our full size truck and it will get close to 30 MPG "AND" have lotsa power"
-----------------------------------------------------------------
or Dodge/Ram announced...
---------------------------------------------------------------------
"We will put an Italian sourced tractor derived Diesel in our half ton trucks"
----------------------------------------------------------------------
or Nissan announced...
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We will offer an American made diesel in the half ton class "BEFORE" anyone else; and it will be CUMMINS...
