The EB F-150 gets good fuel mileage if you are on a flat highway running 60-65mph. Once you add some hills, 400 to 500 lbs in the bed, or hook up to a trailer the fuel mileage goes in the toilet.
We had a F150 with the 5.0 and the other with the 3.5 EB at work. Both had a job box with about 400 pounds of tools. The 5.0 averaged 15.5 mpg and the 3.5EB was at 13mpg.
Ford is also stating they have a 3L Power-stroke diesel that is coming. But Ford has been saying for over 20 years they were going to release a F-150 with a diesel engine and this is the first time they have released specs. I just hope the 3L PS has the durability of the 7.3PS
The 6.7 had been reliable. Honestly having owned every variant of ford diesel from the 6.9idi onward I'll take my 6.7, followed by the 6.4 over any other when comparing power and reliability.
