The fuel efficient Ford F-150

What’s the most fuel-efficient full-size pickup on the market?

The fuel-efficient Ford F-150 was rated the top “Greener Choice” for a full-size pickup by American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy. Its light, super-strong high-strength, military-grade, aluminum-alloy body, along with its 2.7-litre EcoBoost V6 engine produces best-in-class EPA gas fuel economy (2017 F-150 4×2) with up to 26 mpg on the highway. The 2017 Ford F-150 is the most fuel-efficient full-size pickup on the market!

There are many reasons why the Ford F-150 has remained the most popular vehicle in Canada for over 50 years! The choice to move to an aluminum-alloy body is still paying off for Ford, as competitors are trying to catch up to the advanced F-150.

The 2017 Ford F-150 was the only full-size pickup truck named to the council’s Greener Choices list. The 2.7-litre EcoBoost V6 engine earned an ACEEE Green Score of 39, putting it in 12th place overall. Rated by the EPA, the 2017 Ford F-150 can achieve up to 19 MPG city, 26 MPG highway and 22 MPG combined — making it best in class in city, highway, and combined mileage!

The engineers at Ford have continued to produce an incredible vehicle, worthy of leading its class in more than a few categories. The success of the Ford F-Series comes from its innovative powertrain and fuel savings opportunities. In the 2017 model, the Ford F-150 includes a 10-speed automatic transmission (a first ever) that helps improve its fuel economy.
