It went from 17/23 to 16/22 per the Ford website. Just wondering if the TSB for the transmission hard shift effected it somehow or if there was another change.

It looks like they also added a category for fuel economy with the payload package. With that option, the 3.5EB only gets 15/20/17. Additionally, some of the other numbers are different as well. For instance, my truck was listed at tow capacity of 9000#. The same configuration as a 2016 is 8900#. Not a huge difference obviously, but intriguing nonetheless.

I read something about the different payload packages rated differently too, as mentioned.
otherwise, since EPA ratings dont mean crap to begin with, 1mpg more or less shouldn't be a deciding factor... or they should call VW and get that sh&t straight! 40mpg F150 anyone?!
