I've never heard of a full size getting more than 20 average, while fully loaded, with no mods, as you say.
I'm sure the engineering dept's of those companies would be more than happy to hear how you were able to accomplish this feat...downhill w/ a tailwind, and no brakes? 90% loaded with air? what's the secret? inquiring minds wanna know!

As Jacob has explained a number of times, the "secret" was his
driving technique. The truck was loaded; he was not. He could tell the manufacturers how he got the fuel economy he got, but the manufacturers couldn't give the back end of a rat how people drive their vehicles.

It's up to you how you choose to drive.
I've only gotten inside EPA's 2008 revised city/highway estimates
once with my 2007 Mustang. I tell the service department at the local Ford dealer about my MPG "problem" when I take it in for service. They just smile, and say, "That's great!" They're
glad I have that "problem".
