  1. I have a 2017 F-150 on order with the 3.5L & ten speed, so I'm all in. There has been a great increase in engine and driveline efficiency in the past twenty years.Some of it has been used to increase the size and capability of the vehicle, so not all of it shows up as increased fuel mileage. I think that's the point that some posters are making. I wish that the F-150 was the same size and capability of the 1997-2003 models, with the aluminum body and the new drivetrain - I'd guess that the 4x2 would be over 30 mpg and the 4x4 over 25 mpg. Any idea when the 2.7 will get the ten speed? Mid year change for 2017 or 2018 models? That will be the mpg king. Will the 5.0 get the ten speed, or will it be phased out with the six speed?
  2. The fuel economy of the new 2017 F-150 3.5L Ecoboost and ten speed transmission combination has been released for the 4x4 configuration, it's on fueleconomy.gov. The good news: 2017 F-150 fuel economy is about 10% better than the 2016 3.5L Ecoboost and six speed transmission. 2016: 15 mpg city, 20 mpg highway, 17 mpg combined 2017: 17 mpg city, 22 mpg highway, 19 mpg combined A nice increase for the new engine and transmission. The bad news is that after all the work on the aluminum body, new engine and transmission, it's still only 19 mpg.... It is the 4x4, so it will be interesting to see the 4x2 fuel economy ratings.
