Ford is even worse as they use very tall gears to get an extra 1 MPG highway that no one will ever see in real use.

Huh? Even with the tall rear end ratio, the EcoBoost pretty much stays in 6th all the time on the highway.
I think maybe he means they are always quoting the EPA ratings for a truck with their highest possible gear ratio, while the volume sales leader is probably equipped differently. For example, I was on a Ford lot the other day, and pretty much all of the EBs I looked at had the 3.55 or 3.73 ratios.
But it isn't just Ford that does this ...
