Imagine what the F150 will get with the new diesel engine their going to offer. That coupled with the ten speed will probably net 30/31 mpg hwy I bet.

I like the idea of owning a 2.7 Ecoboost truck. So I have no negatives against the F150.
The GM twins are getting a variant of the newer LGX V6, along with the 8 speed transmission next year. Should bump that highway mpg from 26 to 27. I would not expect more than that. Same with the 10 speed in the F150.
At Hwy speeds, better aero dynamics will make the biggest different at this point, but what truck is ever going to be a great aero vehicle?
