Ford 2015 f150 to get 27mpg
 

I wish they had done this 10 years ago so I could afford it now :) I'm thinking this truck would be awesome to have in 2025 lol. I wonder if they have plans for a Manual trans model. I doubt it...

About time, RAM already makes a 3.0liter turbo diesel that gets 28mpg on the highway.

Edit: the weight saving is encouraging though. Other manufacturers will have to follow suit.

I'd like to see a small 4x4 (like 2.5L) Toyota Diesel with a manual trans. That would be heaven.

These still are not official numbers, just like before an iPhone just guesses. The fact they still haven't released the number makes me wonder, they were actually pushing for 30mpg highway, if they end up 27 that is kind of a disappointment.

Wouldn't hardly call this progress, since my '88 Toyota 4WD averages 28 :-)

Didn't know toyo had a full size pickup in 88???

The new full size Toyota is actually about the worst MPG on the market. They never used to care because the sales of all their good MPG trucks offset their bad ones. Ford sells so many F150s they have to worry more about CAFE standards. But the new CAFE agreement seems to put the Tundra out there by itself because of it's size and the smaller trucks don't help their larger size light truck average. Seems to me the 2015 Tundra needs a 18 MPG combined EPA rating to meet the standards. Even the 2wd V6 doesn't make it let alone the 5.7 4x4 which they sell the most of.

Oh, I see the penalty is $55 per truck per MPG over so they probably just tack $300 on to the price of a $40,000 truck and don't worry about it.

This is really a bold AND smart move.
1. F150 is a huge brand w tremendous loyalty.
2. Truck buyers want ,heavy & strong'
3. Ford can reinvent the market
4 most profitable vehicle in their line so they have margin to work with
