Heck I'm getting 19-20 in a 2014 4x4 Hemi work truck with topper. Mostly state roads, not a lot of interstate.

I saw 23 mpg on the 38 mile ride home at 60 to 63 mph.
The 18/19 mpg is just around town doing the normal chores.

You're getting the same mileage I am with my '14 Z71 with the 5.3.

Well, my company ordered a a brand new Ram 1500 for me. Don't have it yet, but I'm fairly sure it's same as the loanner 4x4 Hemi I've been driving. Would be nice if it was the 3.0L.
Any websites list sales by year by engine? I would be curious to see how many Eco--boost Fords have sold. I would consider a used one, in a a couple years, but I don't know how many there where compared to the other motors.

I merged onto a freeway and you could really tell that it runs out of steam in passing gear. Don't get me wrong, it has plenty of power for a half ton but when compared to the ecoboost with the exact same torque and 125 more HP, the acceleration is noticeably less.
On a side note, the salesman who road with me misquoted the HP and torque numbers. He also said this engine is used in a Case tractor which I could not conform or deny. I asked how they were selling and he said there was a lot of buzz when they first came out but not so much lately. I expected this truck to be front and center but we had to search for it on a satellite lot. This dealership has sold 3 so far and is one of the largest in the Midwest. In fact the Ram express model is named after this dealership.

Still confused. Max tow or max payload or both?
