I think the pick ups have different gears than the vans, especially with a
tow package. The E-150 with the 4.5 gets about 17 on the highway, same as
a Syncro. My mom has an E-250 extended (12 passenger) with the 5.4. I
drove it a bunch last February. It also did 16-17 and I wasn't babying it.

Nice. Downside; my 2001 F-250 w/5.4L gets between 10 mpg(pulling horse
trailer) and 12.5 mpg. I would expect similar , or maybe worse , depending
on options.
