[QUOTE="FordTechOne, post: 1568594, member: 35543"] It really just depends on how the vehicle is driven. In low speed/stop and go city driving, a 3.5L 6 cylinder is going to use less fuel than a 5.0L 8 cylinder. The larger engine has 2 additional cylinders to fuel and a larger displacement. At higher speeds, the same principle applies. The only time they will achieve approximately the same fuel economy is under heavy throttle, as both engines will be producing approximately the same power and therefore will require approximately the same amount of fuel. As far as real world “actual” MPG, I have found the EcoBoost to be much more efficient than the Ford 5.0 V8 or the 5.7 Hemi in my Jeep, which averages about 14MPG. I agree, it’s not like RAM set the fuel economy bar very high with the TRX. As you mention, the lighter truck with the smaller engine and 10 speed should be able to beat the TRX by at least a few MPG. [/QUOTE]
