This is absolutely misleading. F-150, Tundra, RAM 1500, Sierra, every single one of these pickups has a better fuel economy than this. It's not really a comparable economy if you pick "a number worse than every alternative" as your baseline.
- shepherdjerred 3y agoAre you sure? 20 seems pretty fair. * https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/bymodel/2023_Ford_F150.shtml https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/bymodel/2023_Ford_F150.shtml * https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/bymodel/2023_Toyota_Tundra.shtml https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/bymodel/2023_Toyota_Tundra.s... * https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/bymodel/2023_Ram_1500.shtml https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/bymodel/2023_Ram_1500.shtml * https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/bymodel/2023_GMC_Sierra.shtml https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/bymodel/2023_GMC_Sierra.shtm...

Starts with Ridgeline and Tacoma at 21mpg, Tundra at 22, Ranger at 23, Gladiator at 24, RAM 1500 and F-150 at 25, Silverado and Sierra at 26. > 20 seems pretty fair. How do you get "chooses a number that is 5% less than the worst, and 25% less at best" as a "fair" comparison point? The average of those vehicles is actually 23.8mpg. To me a comparison should be "somewhere in the middle of the table", not "coming last".
