33 mpg almost all highway cruise control at 62. Same ish as a tuned 3.55 geared ED would do in that scenario. Likely the same ish as a tuned 2.8 diesel Colorado. Great time to be a truck owner if you need great fuel economy for commuting and great towing economy for moderate IE 1/2 ton appropriate loads. Won't be fast like a gasser or super strong like the big diesels but it might be just right for you.
Now pricing and what models are available in the Ford will have to get better and I bet it does.
It is a nitch market vehicle not a main streamer. It won't replace anything in the line up only round it out so to speak. Both Ram and Ford say 5 to 10 percent of their half ton sales.
Beh beats me I've tried several ways to get the link to work. Its been re-posted on two other forums and worked fine.
