Ty from cardoc has one. I think he said he got 20 if he drove nice on the hwy
'91 Bronco 351w, ZF5, D44 TTB, 9" rear swap with disk brakes, 37" toyos, method wheels, mastercraft seats, A/C and heat
Before I did the level kit and the larger tires, I could get 20 on the hwy at 70 or below with the 5.0. Not much to gain by going eb. You also dont have to worry about whether one turbo will crap out and leave you with no power.

JB, all that **** you talked and you have no idea... The sticker on an ecoboost is 19 highway...
Most used ecoboost I've looked at (2013's with 20-40k miles) show around 17 mpg on their trip meters. Some of those trip meters were for 10,000 miles or more. Once again the ecoboost will only gain 1 or 2 mpg but will get more power and torque.

Only 5 more horsepower, torque is probably irrelevant since you will be towing with your dodge if you did have to tow

Actually the torque makes a huge noticeable difference.

I didn't really talk ****. Maybe you misunderstood. I was aware of sticker number. Actually I think I've seen some listed in low 20s but might have been 2wd.
I don't want the 5.0 for the mpgs. I want because i think it will last longer and so i can feel like a badass when Ice Ice Baby comes on
But you're looking for mpgs and don't want to keep it for very long, so don't listen to me.

awesomeness.
Trip odometer mileage is bull****. Mine never says over 15 but as I said before, I usually get 17.5 on the highway.
On the 8th day god created the Super Swamper TSL and said "go forth and kick ass"
Trip odometer is lies. Sticker mileage is only valid if you're on medicare and named Edna.

People will over analyze everything, just go buy what you want. If you want an ecoboost go buy it. Who gives a **** if a turbo goes out if it is under warranty, you will give it to ford and drive your dodge for a while. Just go buy what you want man, no one here is going to convince you otherwise, nor should they.
Dodge 1/2 ton diesel. Just to add to the equation and you said you wanted a diesel anyway

It's been talked about and I'm looking but it's hard to find one equipped like I like for a reasonable price.
My dad's '12 mpg readout is always spot on and I have a very hard time believing the readout would show less than actual.
JB - I guess it's been hard to understand but my major concern is decent power/torque and not getting 10-13 mpg like I do with my current 6.2 v8.

On my '06 duramax the mileage on the computer has always been within 0.1 mpg of what I hand calculate. It is the first vehicle I have ever scene that is accurate.

My dodge was correct to the nearest 1000 mpg. It was annoying because the mpg-erometer cut off at 999,999,999.99 mpg and I hand calculated (with my abacus) way better mpg than that.
