Default EPA mpg tests

Still waiting on mpg on the ecoboost but getting bored and losing interest in a new truck. Ford is taking their sweet time with the release of the torture videos too. Baja is this weekend i think so we know that the other events are finished they just won't release them.

back to epa tests. We know that the ecoboost comes with a 3.31 rear end so they will use that for sure. Next question, will they use a regular cab for the test because its 500 lbs lighter? Do they use the regular cab for all tests even though only 8% of their truck sales are regular cabs? or will they only use it for the ecoboost to up the mileage.

did anyone every find out if the 6th gear in the eco is actually different than the others .61 v.s. .69 or is that a typo in the order guide?

yeah, they will use everything that they can to their benefit but they all do that.

In other words, they lie a lot. Oh! excuse me. I mean they exaggerate.
