Compared to what? The last V8/5spd combo available in a GM pickup, back in 2006, got 14/19 EPA. The last Ford V8/5spd (2003) got 14/18. Dodge was the last to offer a manual with a V8 in 2008 (No manual listed for 2009). The Ram V8/6spd gets 13/17 EPA. You better hang on to your 2000.

Frank, I'm curious what type of cab you have you have on your Ford, for comparison sake. The XFE Silverados are crew cab only. That would explain some of the weight gain.
