Throw in 4WD and the F-150 EcoBoost and Silverado 5.3L achieve the exact same FE numbers.

The 2wd f150 with eco is also rated at 22 highway. Otherwise, both posters here are correct. Not to mention that the Chevy/GMC half tons are "usually" only available with 3.42 rear diffs. You get a bit more gear in the Ford too.
I know there aren't many Ford fans around here, but that ecoboost is quite impressive. Chevy/GMC really need to step up their powerplants.
