20 something MPG, eh? Not according to the EPA! Although I suspect the updated test cycle for MY 2017 vehicles means the rated 15/18 should actually be achievable, and hopefully surpassable with careful driving.

And before people tell me how efficiency doesn't matter when buying a truck like this, 20 mpg on the highway when using as a daily driver and during long road trips would be icing on the cake for such a performance oriented off road vehicle.

Yeah, between that comment and that window sticker we saw a while back, I don't think that Ford got the EPA numbers they expected.

It does make me wonder what the real world numbers will be. The last 3.5 didn't seem to live up to it's EPA numbers, so I wonder if the EPA made some adjustments this time around that countered what Ford gained with the 10 speed.
