Ask around and see if those eco boosts are really getting that mileage. Could have sworn I saw somewhere guys bitching that they done get anywhere near that advertised mpg.
I have a 5.0 in my F150. I make a drive a few times a month on a flat road that has a 55 mph limit so I am cruising at 60. My truck averages 22 mpg on that trip. A friend of mine has the eco boost and gets 24. When I hook up to a boat and make the trip mine goes down to roughly 14 while his stays up around 18. Granted he has the tow package and I do not.
I had this discussion with my dad this afternoon. The Rams are less expensive but look at the price of a used Ram vs a used Ford. Most of the time the Ford will be listed a few thousand more than an identicle Ram. It would be tough to get me to stray from Ford trucks and I know part of that is blind stupidity (brand loyalty). I have also driven every generation of ford truck from 60-present. Only real problem I ever have seen with their trucks is the garbage 5.4 liter they put in them in the previous generations.
