Just an update for everyone. I ended up buying a 2015 XLT with the following options.
2.7
FX4
3.55's
Sport package
20" sport wheels
1.5" leveling kit

It's a bit more truck than I wanted but the price is right and I couldnt pass it up. So far the 2.7 seems to get by without issues. First tank of gas which is 75% highway returned 20.5mpg, second tank which was about 50% highway returned 19.1mpg both of which is hand calculated. The mpg on the dash is WAY off. I honestly expected better but i'm sure the 20" wheels and leveling kit is a factor in that.

Congrats. If mpg is important to you then the 2.7 was the right choice. Check your tire pressure.

This purchase is a MUST. Keeps the intake system clean as well as the valves from the DI motor:
