The F150 2.7 ecoboost is EPA rated at 26 mpg highway. This is possible because it is a small turbo charged engine with a 10 speed transmission and the EPA "highway" test has a maximum speed of 60 mph. Steady state cruising at 55 mph on a level state highway could see high 20's maybe 30 mpg. Dip into the turbo driving around town and the mileage will drop like a rock.
No idea how new your Corolla is but a 2018 is rated at 40 mpg highway / 34 combined.
