I don't care about MPG off road but highway driving will be great plus having longer range. I got pretty nervous once on white rim road in Utah. Hopefully the tank doesn't fluctuate so much when on a decline too.

Given the frontal area, size and weight of the tires, that can't be the number. That is the number I have seen for regular F-150s. If that is the official number, I doubt anyone will actually get that.

Looking at Fuelly, the average mpg for 2015 / 2026 seems to be about 17, and most trucks represented have the 2.7.

Edit: I see that number shown in the pictures, but I still don't believe it.

I think it'll get pretty close. Before I went to 35" Toyo MTs I consistently got over 16 MPG with the 6.2 on stock tires. KO2s should provide less rolling resistance, plus 500 pounds, plus a more efficient motor, plus 10 speed transmission, and I could see 23. I'd be happy with anything over 20 though. If it really does get 23 that's 830 miles on a tank.

you can probably get that MPG out of boost, maybe cruising, definitely driving like an old lady. my 2013 FX4 w/3.5L - 11.9 mpg, never broke 12.1mpg...i highly doubt anyone here will get that mpg.

how many of those 15/16 F150's have 10 speed transmissions though

It's telling that those numbers don't exactly match any of the current trucks, so it can't be explained away as a cut and paste error. But they also aren't different enough to think they could be the numbers for the standard 2017. You'd think they'd be a couple of points higher with the new engine and tranny.

I said before that I thought the new Raptor would be listed at about the same MPG as the current 3.5. With the same displacement engine, the extra HP is only coming from the turbo, which is entirely dependent on how much you push it - and while that will make a difference in real world numbers, it won't come into play with the EPA tests.

Hurting the Raptor will be bigger tires, more weight, and worse aero. On the other hand, helping it will be the new engine, which is surely more efficient, and the 10-speed tranny. So I suspect all that will be a wash.

If that sticker is true, then it will be interesting what the standard 2017's will get.

Nobody is gonna be driving these around like a grandma. Everyone is gonna be in the throttle to get what little exhaust note they can squeeze out of the TTV6.

I think you're right, but the EPA tests are pretty gentle on acceleration, so the numbers are going to be generous. And you can't blame Ford for not advertising those numbers even if they aren't realistic.

I predict a lot of angry posts about trucks getting 5mpg less than advertised while claiming that they baby the truck constantly.

I got in early with my company and was able to grab some more pics of the race red truck and the wrapped race truck. I tossed them in the album along with some shots of the GT350s, Focus RS, and the GT they had on display. I didn't get any of the White Gold Superduty platinum they had, it had too many lookers and kids hanging on it.

More attention than the Raptor? This country is doomed!

It was in the middle of the booth. They had the booth closed up this morning when I was snooping early. Yesterday when I was inside that's where all the soccer moms had their strollers parked. Surprisingly though, the Raptors didn't have much attention. The GT 350s and the GT was the big hotspots.

So are we assuming the raptor is using Regular gas or Premium at this point?

My wife's explorer sport with 3.5 ecoboost uses premium so I would def assume premium in the raptor.

You can probably get away with using mid-grade 87 but if you want a little more power Im sure they recommend 91+.
