hey boys it is a fluke , your comparing apples to oranges, are all the trucks the same displacement? i don't think so.

[FoxValleyFord]

You are correct, the different manufacturers do not all make engines with the exact same displacement. So this test used each manufacturers most fuel effecient V8.

Doesn't matter who designs the course, if you're advertising these things you have to have solid science and signed affidavits. Which Ford had. It was an apples to apples comparison. Impressive.

I just bought an 09' F150, the Gas Milage is VERY Good.. It suprised me .. I had around 398miles just at half a tank of gas. DON'T QUOTE ME! but it's better than i expected... I think the Milage depends on what type of fuel you use.. with .25 tank left my trip Gauge read 497miles. The truck is Awesome,

what does it matter? i mean, if i were to get a truck, it would be 4X4, because if i didnt want a four wheel drive, id buy a car. i think its kinda pointless.

is that the sellout tanner foust?

@itsmonti1

Liter =/= Engine size or weight or fuel efficiency.

[timkuv]

well obviously the ford won the gas mileage war cause its got the weakest engine in this test built for mpg.

[itsmonti1]

This is such a lie! At 0:17 he says that each truck is configured exactly the same with the most efficient engine. That is a lie! Go to ford.com and see this video in the truck section. In the subscript you see Ford has the 4.6 Liter V-8 and the Dodge has the 5.7 Liter V-8. Well, THAT is not exactly the SAME is it?! Dodge also has a 4.7 Liter V-8 now why didn't they use that truck? Something is pretty fishy with this whole video.

[jamesbrownintown]

The only reason Ford hasn't sunk yet is because the F-150. You would think that after years of ford fuel economy research, ford would have stepped up there game by now, but it has a chance to evolve with hybrid age/electric cars about to strike next year

[dude198player]

and their quality is great!

[mrstone56]

Not really. Watch the news.

[IPGAuto]

Funny cause you hear of GM going to shit bankruptcy and Chrysler is done but you dont hear anything about Ford. Ford is doing pretty great.

2 months from now toyota will have out a smaller version of the 5.7 called the 4.6. it too will have dual independent VVT-i. also will have ACIS and a 6spd. trans with shift logic and 4.10 gears towing around 9000lbs and will get the same or better fuel economy than their pathetic attempts at chasing their poor designs to make fuel economy. its really sad that the toyota 5.7 puts out less emissions than a cobalt or focus. the hemi uses 2 spark plugs to meet minimum epa requirements!! wow how sad
