Beat the EB Up Today...

Nope, didn't run her hard. Just the opposite actually. Other than a quick 5-mile squirt on the highway today, this is all city stop and go. And Stop. And Go. And more Stopping. The traffic was epic...

I tell you what, the truck was awesome. I feel great after all of that sitting and she didn't miss a beat. There are times that I wished I got the 6.5' bed, but today the shorter wheelbase was all the difference for full-contact parking.

The Ford driving logic sure goes into "Prius" mode quickly. I got into the habit of putting it into Sport mode anytime I wanted to go over 30mph just so I would't have to argue with throttle. The logic is fine going from red light to red light, but as soon as you want to actually GO the truck acts like it's asleep.

I notice the top quadrant has distance to empty. My 2015 has gallons used there.
Hmmm.

Yep, the '15s are the only models to get gallons used on the display. From '16-on they switched that to DTE.

I'm guessing people were griping about gallons used not matching what the gas pump sold them.

Did you enable them with Forscan or did it come that way?
I enabled them and sure do like it!

The oil, water and fuel are static in the 2016. I can swap boost for transmission temp on the far right.

Glad to hear Ford changed from gallons used to DTE. I find DTE way more useful. Ford probably did make the change because it didn't match the fuel pump at the gas station. Just another example of how the system is too inaccurate to reliably measure MPGs.
