Drove a 2015 4X4 2.7L EB Extended Cab Lariat today and was very impressed! I haven't driven any of the other engines but compared to my dad's 2010 5.3L V8 Silverado it was no contest. Lethargic response seems to continue as a GM criticism though...

What size and brand tires?

My 2015 with the 2.7 really scoots. Don't disregard it just because it seems like the runt of the litter.

I've been running around town in sport mode lately. Feeling feisty and have been squealing the tires for fun a little bit and I'm getting 12.8l/100km. That's what I got on the highway in my old Eco.

anyone with a single cab yet? considering the MPG I'm getting with a 4 door, i could see a single cab getting very close to 30 mpg.

Its actually mind boggling what the truck is doing gas mileage wise.
My commute is 99% highway. Right off the 403 in Hamilton to the hospital in St. Catharines. The avg L/100km was 10.7/100km. Now its down to 9.8. At that rate I am expecting to get well over 1200KM at tank. My escape 4cyl was getting 8.5L/100km.

Agreed. This is the only vehicle I've had that lived up to mileage claims, besides my diesel Smart car. Love it!

I have to agree with the other posters about the efficiency of the ecoboost 2.7. My XLT Screw 4x4 just turned over 2000km and I can see its mpg getting better every trip. Last night drove to the cottage on a 160 KM trip and was shocked to see 8.9 liters per 100km consumed. Yes it was only at 96kmh but still that's almost 26.5 US mpg. Into a slight headwind with AC on!


Amazing truck

What everyone said in above few posts. Only at a 1000 km and improving believe me when it shouldn't be as I keep having fun with it.
