Ford F-150 pickup trucks supported 3.7-liter V6 that now serves as the base powerplant. With sturdy body style and also supported a great power, brought Ford into a reliable pickup truck category. But, we still have to wait for final EPA mileage certification on the twin-turbo V6 mill.
As Ford has announced that the 302-horsepower 3.7 will serve up 16 miles per gallon in the city and 23 on the highway in rear-wheel drive models, the latter figure making it the most fuel-efficient full-size pickup on the market. Stepping up the next rung to the 5.0-liter V8 will get you 360 horses and a fine 15 city, 21 highway EPA fuel economy rating, another best-in-class figure.
2011 Ford F-150 offer two more optional engines, The top rung, 411-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 will deliver 12 mpg in the city and 17 on the highway. That’s not exactly stellar mileage, and it’s actually one mpg lower in both categories compared to General Motors’ 6.2-liter V8, but we’re expecting much better figures from the 3.5-liter EcoBoost, which matches the 6.2’s 11,300-pound tow rating and 3,060-pound payload.
