Impressive! Even as an automatic it should be able to hit 35 MPG with hypermiling and no mods, which means that 40 MPG in a full sized pickup truck is in all likelihood possible with ecomodding, especially if it's available as a manual!

Someone needs to get one, put an aeroshell on it, and test it for us.

Get the dimensions and have a cardboard aeroshell ready. Rent one for a day and see what ya get.

Big improvement over the 2008 ford diesels that people reported getting 10 to 12mpg highway.

How much with $1,000 mud tires?

I never averaged 30 MPG hypermiling my Forester, but of course those have become more efficient over the years.

I remember the '05-'11 Brazilian F-250 regular-cab with a 203hp Cummins ISB3.9 and a 5-speed manual transmission could get 30 MPG around 50 MPH (and that was the 4WD), but considering the advances in aerodynamic and weight savings in this F-150 (plus the engine is nearly a quarter smaller in displacement) it's still quite impressive that it manages to do so with an automatic.

A contributor on Dodge diesel and Airstream boards (VernDiesel) has covered over 400,000 miles in his EcoDiesel. Averages 28-30/mpg at 65. Above 20 at 80-mph. And the same as I see with my CTD & 35’ Silver Streak: 14-16/mpg pulling Airstream trailers (he does dealer deliveries outbound from near that plant, and backhauls as available).

I got 19 MPG in Dad's 2008 F150 at 55 MPH. What did I do wrong?!

It wasn't a diesel...and probably wasn't an Ecoboost engine either, I'm guessing? Lots of things :p JK
