The robust Ford F-150 gives you the flexibility and the power you need to tow everything from horse trailers and jet skis to construction equipment. To get an idea of the F-150’s fuel economy, check out the chart below that lists its six engine options and EPA-estimated mileage.

Each of these engines provides decent fuel economy and power. The 3.3L V6 engine is the standard engine across the F-150 trims and puts out 290 horsepower and 265 lb-ft of torque. Even with this power, you’ll get up to an EPA-estimated 20 city/24 highway MPG with the 4x2 drivetrain.

Ford F-150 Fuel Efficiency Tips

To get the most of your truck’s fuel economy, we’ve put together some tips you can follow. Some of these tips might be a review for already fuel-efficient drivers, but if not, putting these into practice might just save a bit of fuel.

If you’re on the highway, cruise control is something that can help improve fuel economy. When you use cruise control, your vehicle is kept at a constant speed. Staying at one speed as opposed to accelerating and decelerating more frequently enables you to save gas.

To help keep you safe and save some gas at the same time, follow the posted speed limit. Fuel economy decreases the faster you go, especially when traveling above 50 MPH. When you follow the speed limit, you’re not only helping keep yourself safe, but you’re also potentially saving some gas.

Take some of the excess weight out of your vehicle. Extra, unneeded items in your car can reduce its fuel economy. It will take more gas to get your truck up to speed with excess weight than it would without those items.
