Yes and how accurate the 26- 28 mpg on the eco boost gas motors. I never got more than 15.6 on the avg. Got me a V8 and drill baby drill

My Eco-Boost never saw 20 MPG with AC Off, no passengers, no load in the back, driving 60 on flat pavement.
When I hooked a light trailer up, I was down to 12 MPG under normal driving conditions.

At least it can't blow spark plugs out of it.

What setup? Tires? 2.7 or 3.5 eco? Lift? Lead foot or do you feather the gas pedal? When my 4x4 2.7 ecoboost was new, I would get 21 on the highway consistently. If I babied it, I could get even more. Of course, that was with highway tires and no lift. Added a lift and it dropped some. Added tires and it dropped a bit more. Now, I have a 2 1/2" lift on the front, and a 1" lift on the back. One size larger tires (33" vs 32"), and much more aggressive tread. (mud tire/all terrain hybrid). Yes, I did re-program the odometer to account for the tire change. If I go easy, I can still get 19mpg, but It usually averages 18 now.

Interesting video with a real world test and what happens when you tow with an EV.

What is your definition of 'going easy'? And are you talking 60-65 HWYs or 75?

Just carry a gassed up dirtbike in the back of the truck in case it stops out in the middle of nowhere.

And whatever you do,,,, Don't turn the AC on in 110 degree heat, roll the windows down and don't drive until the battery says NO, they won't roll up.. Friends Tesla didn't like that.

No HP on these...weak.
