I'm waiting on the 2015 F150, my dad's 2014 Chevy 5.3 is very nice.

Bought a 2015 Tahoe a month ago and just drove it to Destin. Stayed at 73-75 most of the way and we averaged 25 mpg.

My sons truck seemed to pull and sound much quiter than my old 6.2. We stomped it side by side at 40 mph and he hammered my old 6.2. My new 6.2 now takes him at any given speed when we tested them recently. As for towing a 24 champion, the 6.2 does very well when compared to my 2008 6.2. It's quiter, does not hunt for gears and the tow haul is usable without being so mechanically rough. It's a compleTly different truck than the old body style. In town (Lafayette) around 13-14. Highway 17-18 @ 75-80mph. Towing short trip to c point 11 mph.
Put that 6.2 next to an Ecoboost and see what it does...

F150 hasn't been number one selling truck for 30+ years for no reason.

wish they still made the s-10 for those of us who don't need full size and for that matter, I wish they still had any of the mini trucks, Nissan, Toyota, mazda, that get 30mpg with inline 4 cylinders.

I don't care what B S they try to say, there is absolutely no reason they cant make a 30-40mpg full size full power truck when they are making 40 & 50mpg cars.

my 1998 full size chevy Silverado with a v8 small block 350 engine gets 19mph & 21 highway pulling the boat doing 70mph with the a/c on which is way better then all of the new trucks out there that only get 16 & 17 mpg new when not pulling a trailer. if I bought a new truck today it would get the same 15mpg that my 1974 c-10 pickup used to get so whats up with that? why buy new to get WORSE gas mileage?

they havent produced a better gas mileage truck since the 1970's when they got 12-15mpg

Not upset I just know people that drive them and gas mileage is not something they get much of. I do like tundras just don't like their fuel mileage. Btw I drive a diesel, diesel tank
