The link I read shows those numbers for the 2x4 regular cab. But the 4X4 is a different story. 4x4 knocks is down to 20/25/22. Rather disappointing if you ask me.Ford says EPA fuel-economy testing confirms its expectation that the F-150 fullsize pickup powered by an all-new turbodiesel V-6 achieves a best-in-class 30 mpg (7.8 L/100 km).

Leader of the pack !!
So I looked on google to see if there were any other sources and there was about 50 sources. Everything from Car and Driver to Fox and CNN. They all pretty much had the same info about the 2x4. But this was the only source that said anything about the 4x4 that I found.it is hard to believe that a 4x4 option would cause you to loose 5 mpg on the highway, maybe its a typo, fords website does not even provide this information
This is actually good news for me. I was able to order against a fleet account and after looking at my order sheet it looks like I actually got the 3.31 axel ratio. Which correct me if I’m wrong should give me the 28hwy/25 combined/21 city mileage. Can anyone explain, besides the mileage, what the difference is in the 3.31 and the 3.55 axel ratios is?Here an article with a little more info...definitely doesn’t appear to be a typo.

I’m a little confused because I ordered a non-fleet Lariat, and the 3:31 gears are standard. I’m not sure what the author or Ford rep is talking about in this article with only fleet 4x4 trucks coming with 3:31.
The difference is 0.24... >This is actually good news for me. I was able to order against a fleet account and after looking at my order sheet it looks like I actually got the 3.31 axel ratio.

Many of the article seem to be citing each other. There are multiple sources the state Ford has not released the official numbers yet. I Believe that a 1-2 MPG loss would be similar to every other truck out there including the Ram 1500. I would link some of the sites however I am apparently not permitted to post links yet. Either way really doesn't matter that much.So I looked on google to see if there were any other sources and there was about 50 sources. Everything from Car and Driver to Fox and CNN.

Congrats! I’m hoping they figure out this shut down and it won’t effect anything.Just received my vin and build week.
