I didn't buy mine for mileage. I bought it to tow. Performance for the dollar, I haven't driven anything else that tows as effortless. I would own mine even if it were the bottom of the pack for mpg.
I towed 6k miles this summer and got 11.5. After 12k miles of my commute, I'm getting 18.5. Does that meet EPA? Probably pretty close considering I'm 4x4 and that is a mixed drive commute.
I think Ford should not have marketed the engine for economy. It has speed and torque beyond anything a half ton owner will need. The engine stands on that merit alone.
