the Ecoboost was about 7 mpg.
As you’ve also demonstrated a smaller Ute loaded up with enough weight will start
to drink more fuel than a larger Ute that sees the same weight as less imposing.
Horses for courses, I’m willing to bet the larger 3.0 diesel in the new Ranger will
actually tow better than the 2.0, maybe with a lighter throttle too..

I have been on about larger capacity engines doing it easier (and with less fuel) for years on here and I keeping getting laughed at
