Default Lifetime average mpg?

I have a 2014 Highlander that has a lifetime average mpg of 18.7. I am looking at moving to a 2016 F150 (haven't decided on the engine yet). I am looking to compare the Highlander mpg to the lifetime average mpg of current gen F150s to see what kind of hit I will take on mileage, if any.

Grateful if people could share this info (including which engine you have).

Thanks!!

based on math.... 16.33 @ 13,741 miles -- the Ford Dashboard computer is much more optimistic... high 17s

2015 2.7 Ecoboost supercrew XLT FX4

My 2011 3.5 ecoboost supercrew XLT 4x4 averaged 17.17 mpg over 64,025 mile

SuperCab 4x4 3.5 ecoboost 3.55 gears 7600 miles

Lifetime Average 19.2 by computer some of that towing about 1K.

Last time I hand checked a tank, it was 21.2 by hand 21.5 computer.

A lot depends on habits and conditions.

I am on a lot of rural 2-lane roads less than or equal 55 no traffic. If you see stop and go greater than 70 and you will see a drop.

Habits, well you get Eco or Boost not both lol.

I have 6000km on mine and haven't reset the mileage calculator yet. It shows 15.1 L per 100km or 15.5 MPG. 5.0 3.73 supercrew 6.5' bed. I don't drive the truck very often on long drives, and most of my driving is rather aggressive. I know it could do much better if I wanted to try, but it really makes no difference to me about fuel mileage lol

Let's just say my F-150 is beating your Highlander, but it's early yet. I haven't done much highway driving...

Really appreciate the replies.

Some huge differences between trucks with the same engine. 19mpg vs. 13.5mpg for the 3.5 ecoboost. I get that there are alot of factors at play (driving style, gear ratio, towing, etc.) but an almost 6mpg difference is pretty dramatic for lifetime average.

I'm hoping to see more 19mpg or better!

2015 screw 4x4 2.7L ecoboost lifetime is 14.1 on computer around 13 calculated. Mostly highway miles at 70mph. pretty disappointing.
