      The 2.7 Ecoboost, which is by far the most common on sale right now, gets 20-26mpg, the 3.5L Ecoboost gets 18/24, and the 3.5L hybrid gets 25 combined.

      You could’ve Googled instead of just assuming I’m a liar, but actual facts seem to get downvoted to oblivion here if they don’t fit the narrative.

          It’s not for a fullsize truck. In fact, that’s the average fuel economy for all vehicles sold in the US in 2022, while cars alone averaged around 31mpg. And considering the Kei trucks only do around 30mpg while having considerably less cargo volume, I’d say it’s not a bad trade off if you need it for specific reasons that a smaller truck won’t do, like towing or hauling larger/heavier items. Does everyone need a big ass truck or SUV? Hell no. But the numbers aren’t as bad as they’re made out to be - at least not for Ford. GM and Stellantis have some work to do.
