Game, Set, Match.

It was asked, but never answered correctly.

You were wrong then, and you are wrong again.

You didn't even post Fords most fuel efficient full size truck... The Ford 3.7L gets better fuel economy than the ecoboost that you incorrectly used for Ford.

This is what you posted:

Hey Lendon...did you forget to take your meds again (my comment - nice friendly way to post)? You again try to be too clever by half by attempting to shift the debate to most fuel efficient truck, then further to most fuel efficient engine. In doing so, you have effectively compared an apple with a mango.

Let me help you (again) with your claims and your facts. You know, it's about time you did your own research for a change...I'm getting tired of clearing up your mistakes for free. As Mark Twain once said, "Never let facts get in the way of a good story"... See picture below from the Official EPA website....

Based on similar power output ratings (Chevy still down), I compared the Chevy offering SFE to the Ecoboost and then the normal 5.3 2WD. The Dodge was even lower with similar power. Ecoboost wins. (my comment - Ecoboost isn't even the best Ford - it's a loser, not a winner) Gosh, aren't facts tough to deal with.

Also, I agree that the Ford is the longest lasting, most durable/dependable truck on the market by working vehicles with over 200,000 miles on them. The statistic you like to rely on is registrations which is inconclusive (it tells nothing of miles or use; hence, durability).

The most fuel efficient Ford full size truck is the 3.7L 6, which is rated 17 City, 23 Hwy, with a combined rating of 19. You cheated Ford out of 1 MPG.

However, you failed to compare the Ford to the most fuel efficient full size Chevrolet. That truck is EPA rated at 20 City, 23 Hwy and a combined rating of 21. You cheated GM out of 5 MPG in the City, 1 MPG on the Hwy and 3 MPG overall.

GMC also makes their own version of this full size truck.

That's a 6.0L GM engine getting better fuel economy than a 3.7L Ford engine.

More power and better fuel economy from the "longest lasting, most dependable truck manufacturer" - despite all the whining from the Ford apologists.

GM's been producing the most fuel efficient full size truck for years - they've had a combined fuel economy rating of 21 for 4 model years now.

Your claim that Ford is the "most durable/dependable truck on the market by working vehicles with over 200,000 miles on them" has already been discredited because there is no way to document that claim - even if it was true.

Chevy's claim is so accurate, Ford even admits that there are more Chevy's on the road. This despite the fact that Ford built more trucks over the same period. That means more Fords went to the scrap heap.



Now that I've been forced to correct you again, will you stop with all the BS name calling, trash talking, etc...

FWIW - The only meds I take are Metformin, Lisinopril and baby aspirin.

I guess I feel the need to pile on a little, so I'll repost a few parts of your post...

As Mark Twain once said, "Never let facts get in the way of a good story".

Gosh, aren't facts tough to deal with.

Your own words, right back at ya...
