According to a leading consumer magazine (you know who I mean), here is a quick sample of rated and actual mixed MPG in their tests. EPA Overall/mixed actual
Silverado 5.3L 14/21 14
Tundra 5.7L 14/18 15
F150 5.0L 14/19 15
F150 3.5L eco 15/21 15
Ram 5.7 13/18 14
You can draw your own conclusions. I have a 2011 5.3 L and get about 15 MPG.

Hondas are good cars. I just traded in an '07 Honda Accord EX-L w/the 4 cylinder that was flawless and had 102K on it., but needed an AWD car for the winter. The dealer gave me $12,000.00 for it. I traded it in on a new 2012 Subaru Legacy Limited.
As far as the Crosstour-I cross shopped that with the Subaru because I already had the Accord and it could be had with AWD. To be honest, I felt they were over priced for a vehicle which is admittedly a poor seller.
From a reliability standpoint I would recommend them. From a eye appeal and resale (Honda will tell you they are a Honda they have good resale-but the fact remains they don't sell very many at all) value standpoint I would stay away. The choice is yours.

Thanks lesbo,
Man that sucks! EPA might as well shut down if they can't do any better than that.

That mpg figure for the Ecoboost is a big disconnect on what is being reported over on most Ford Eco-Boost forums....it's higher.
