How the combined mpg figures compare
Across the 21 vehicles ranked here, combined mpg runs from 13 mpg for the 2020 Roush Performance F-150 up to 87 mpg for the 2025 Rivian R1T — a spread of 74 mpg, or about 569% between the bottom and top of the list. The midpoint sits at 24 mpg, so anything above that figure is in the upper half of what this dataset covers.
Ford places 4 models on the list, the most of any brand, ahead of GMC with 3 and Chevrolet with 2. In total 12 manufacturers are represented, which is a useful read on how widely this level of combined mpg is available rather than being confined to a single badge.
Estimated annual fuel cost across these entries ranges from $850 to $5,850 on the EPA's standard 15,000-mile driving assumption — a difference of $5,000 a year, or roughly $25,000 over a typical five-year ownership period. Read the ranking column alongside that figure: the highest-rated vehicle is not automatically the cheapest to run once fuel type and tank size differ.
Powertrains on this list break down as Regular (8), Electricity (7), Diesel (4), Premium (2). Every figure comes from EPA laboratory testing of the specific model year shown, so comparisons hold between rows; real-world results move with climate, terrain, load and driving style.
What this list doesn't tell you
Fuel economy in pickups tracks closely with cab and bed configuration, drivetrain, and engine. A two-wheel-drive model with the base engine is almost always the efficiency leader within a given truck line.
