Yeah, when the very first words of a website are "ORDER WITH CONFIDENCE" I tend to be a little skeptical of their claims.
32mpg is still extremely high for a pickup.
This is a much more believable claim from their website:

He then purchased a new 6BD1/130hp and installed it in a new Ford 150 van using the stock C6 3 speed auto. Well, the rest is history. He drove the wheels off during the next 10 years, pulled an RV mostly, never put a wrench on it, got 22 mpg (no overdrive), sold it and it is still on the road today. I have used other makes but Isuzu is my first choice.

Only 200miles of driving is
NOT enough to make an accurate MPG claim. That highway stretch is likely going down in elevation to get that kind of economy in a brick so MPG going the other way and an average of the two would be needed to get a reliable figure. He also doesn't supply any fuel data (gallons consumed, etc) to back it up.
Considering he is trying to sell his product, he would be much more inclined to embellish his figures to increase sales.
