Yep. The v8 helps with the mileage when pulling I think. I had a 5.3 z71 before this truck and it got a little better pulling, but this ecoboost pulls WAY better. Doesn't seen to strain at all, on most overpasses it won't even drop a gear and getting onto the interstate is much easier with this truck. My Chevy had a hard time pulling even if I had a 5mph wind even with my little boat.

Btw straight interstate @ 70 and no wind you can keep your mileage right around 20mpg with this truck, but who really does that. That was at 70 from Opelousas to I10
