That's quite a string of predictions there...

To what end would Ford knowingly try and pull such shenanigans?

Remember, the window sticker is EPA figures, not real world driving. Don't expect to achieve those numbers. Below the Bold dark (EPA) numbers are what is expected.

While not official numbers, this article (2015 Ford F-150: a lighter heavyweight) has the writer commenting that in his flat Texas road testing - he achieved 9.7l/100km with the 2.7l V6. Considerably better than my 16.5l / 100km on my 2014 FX4-SCrew.

For those challenged by the conversion, this equals 24.2 MPG.

To me, that reads like:

The driver got 32 roentgens per hogshead; which is significantly better than the 24.4 cubic pound feet inch foot per squared fluffer that I've achieved.

*scratches head*

(NOTE: Yes, I can convert. It's more fun to goof around. LOL)

And the 2.7EB will be 18 city, 25 highway for a 2wd model.
1mpg better for a 700lb reduction in weight? ummmmmm......no.

weight reduction wont mean jack squat on the highway, the trucks are still big bricks in the wind. If you think it will get 20 city and 30 highway, thats just great. I honestly hope they do. But I'll be more skeptical.

Maybe if highways were perfectly flat. I don't know about your experience, but for me highway mpg goes down every time I drive up a hill. You will still have drag, but a lighter truck will help highway mpg a little. I'm optimistic that 4wd 2.7L can get EPA rating of 24mpg highway. Anything more than that would be amazing

These are my guesses but wouldn't be shocked if sfe is only 25 and regular 2.7 is 24.

26 for 2.7 sfe
25 for 2.7
23 for eco
22 for 5.0
