Ford Says Its New 7.3-Liter V8 Can Fit In The F-150, Mustang

Me too! 0-60 in 5.3 and 16 mpg in a truck is shameful.

My lifetime average @ almost 31K miles is 18 mpg.

Speed limits around here are 70-80, so add 5-10 mph to that. I've never owned a vehicle that got the EPA numbers.

I've only been on the interstate twice in 2 years. So 99% of my driving is where the speed limit is 55 or less. But that includes quite a bit of stop and go driving.

I wasn't debating you. I was hoping you would clarify with the actual info.

Do you know how much this new 10 speed weighs vs. the 10R80?

No worries I wasn’t trying to stir a debate myself lol. It’s not much more but it’s heavier because of the PTO and heavier duty internal materials

I average over 18 mpg as well. But I’m easy on acceleration and speed.

I like pie.

I figured you were more of a cake eater[emoji2]

You really should think about trading in for just a regular F150 if you’re averaging 18 mpg Because you really aren’t using the TwinTurbo

Yes I do. I do plenty of jack rabbit starts where I get up to speed almost instantly. Usually up to 65-70mph then I coast until I'm doing the speed limit 55. While coasting the MPG gauge is pinned at 30 MPGs. If I stayed into it and didn't coast I'd be doing 100 MPH in a 55 MPH zone.

A regular F150 has two engine options with twin turbos
